The trip was perfect, exactly how we expected it to be, the driver was very friendly and took time to show us other places on the way to Macedonia that we should visit. Lena was an amazing local host, she knew so much about the history and took time to answer any questions we had. I would definitely recommend it for anyone else wanting to do a trip to Skopje

Skopje was a positive surprise for me! I didn’t think I would like it that much. The city is beautiful, diverse and different from everything I’ve ever seen in life. But I do wish we had more time in the city. When I took the tour, we only had 3h30 there and had to see everything in a hurry. Anyways, it was very worth it!

fantastic day out. would definitely recommend, our guide in Skopje lena was very informative and we had plenty of free time. the city itself was really interesting and very cheap! our Bulgarian guide Lubo was a fantastic guy and really helped make this such a great day so thank you

Phillip and Lena were excellent guides. We learned so much and we’re in good hands. Phillip reassured us during the border crossing and kept us informed with all the history. And Skopje was worth the drive. The culture and city were very good!

Vladimir was such a good tour guide, he explainedall the historical and cultural things there is to talk about and even made overall suggestion about my trip in Skopje. I definitely recommend it especially in winter because of transportation.
