Friendliest tour of my life! - Not only was this everything that was advertised, we also got a lot more than we expected. The host picked us up straight from the hotel without cost, and left us off wherever we liked. The hosts are part of a bigger organization that offers accommodation, more tours and other experiences which they suggested to us also.
Our group was hungry, so we stopped for breakfast Burek from a local bakery. Phenomenal.
The tour is also great time to talk to the local hosts, who gave us so many good tips for really experiencing Skopje through a locals eyes. Instead of a huge group, this was small, warm and friendly.
Loved it, and would recommend for all Skopje visitors. Thank you Petar and Nikolai!

Great way to explore Macedonia - Our tour was excellent. We've traveled the world and our stay in Macedonia really stands out. Matka Canyon is a must-see location and the views from Millennium Cross can't be beat. We had so much fun we booked a second tour to Lake Ohrid the next day. Our guide Nikola is one of the best human beings you will ever meet. As expected for any tour guide, Nikola is well versed in the history and culture of the region. But he goes above and beyond that standard. He will start out as your guide, but you will finish your tour being friends for life. We can't recommend this tour enough!

A Beautiful and Well-Planned Half-Day Escape from Skopje - This tour was the perfect way to explore some of Skopje's most beautiful and historic spots in just half a day. The views from the Millennium Cross were absolutely stunning—definitely a highlight. The Church of Saint Panteleimon was a real gem, with incredibly preserved frescoes and a peaceful atmosphere. And Matka Canyon was the perfect mix of nature and serenity—don’t miss the boat ride if you have the chance!
Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. Our guide, Peter, was helpful and informative, giving us just the right amount of background and time to enjoy each stop. A great experience overall!
