Our driver Lubo was lovely, lively and proficient and out Skopje guide was great as well. Really good way to catch a glimpse of Skopje when on a tight schedule and can't afford to be at the mercy of local timetables and big gaps. Long day, but so worth it ❤️❤️❤️

The tour was really good organized. We got picked up in front of our airbnb. The driver drove really good and provided everything we needed. He was friendly, shared a lot of information about the two countries, recommended bars, restaurants etc. And showed us different kinds of balkan music. The tour in Skopje was smooth and easy. After the long ride and the 2h tour we were able to explore the city by ourselves. The driver brought us back home where we got picked up earlier. The tour is really long and intense. Thanks for everything!

The trip was long, but the guide from Bulgaria entertained us a little with some history of the country. The rest of the time I talked with the other guys on the van. The guide in Skopje spoke a good English and I enjoyed the tour and the city. Being Skopje hard to reach otherwise, the tour was worth it!
