Incredible experience. Small group, great energies and stunning views. - Ivan was an incredible guide. Of course the trip was great but it was his knowledge, wisdom, hospitality, character and wittiness that really made the trip.
Really loved the small group setting, it was only 3 of us including me - the 2 other ladies and I hit it off well😊
The welcome coffee in the office before the tour and bakery picnic with range of drinks near the Millenium Cross was a lovely touch.
If you're stuck between this tour and other tour, go for this and you will NOT regret it :)
They say great energy attracts other great energies and I think this tour was the embodiment of that!

Wonderful trip, marvellous tour guide! - It seems that all Balkan countries have something in common - history and rich culture, gorgeous architecture, beauty of nature, and warmth and incredible hospitality of people, the prime example of the latter being our fearless leader Miha (I do hope I got the name right - please forgive me if I erred) - a treasure trove of information, delivered with passion and humanity of a highest order. He should be presented as a role model in a book "How to Be an Incredible Tour Guide".
All I can say is: definitely recommend and hope to be back!

The Best Tour Thanks to Miha and Ivan - Our experience could not have been better. From the very beginning, Miha, the owner, was incredibly organized, and attentive. His professionalism and warm personality immediately made us feel we were in good hands.
Our guide, Ivan, was absolutely outstanding. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. Ivan shared fascinating stories, answered every question with patience, and made the entire tour engaging and enjoyable. His enthusiasm brought the whole experience to life, and we learned so much thanks to him.
Overall, this was a memorable and seamless experience from start to finish. If you’re thinking about booking—do it! Miha and Ivan will make sure you have an unforgettable time.
Highly recommended!

Would recommend - Great way to see the highlights of Skopje. Very kind and personable guides with a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. My only regret is not bringing more cash, several activities on the tour require cash.

The trip was really nice... - The trip was really nice and I loved that we could see the mountain views of Skopje from the top. However, every last Tuesday of the month, the cable car at Millennium Cross ia closed so we could not take it. I would have loved to take it.
