Dagtur til Skopje, Nordlige Makedonien - Lille gruppe
Beskrivelse
Det kan være vanskeligt at sætte pris på mangfoldigheden i Balkan-kulturen, især med begrænset tid i regionen. Udforsk den makedonske kultur på en dagstur til Skopje fra Sofia, og kryds af for en anden hovedstad på Balkan på kun 1 dag. Nyd selskabet med 2 professionelle guider - en fra Bulgarien og en lokal fra Makedonsk. Rejs let med afstanden via moderne køretøj, og oplev seværdigheder, herunder Skopje-fæstningen, Memorial House of Mother Teresa og Old Bazaar, med indsigt leveret af dine guider. I løbet af denne dagstur får du chancen for at besøge en af de mest bisarre byer på Balkanhalvøen. Skopje er en blanding af autentiske monumenter fra den osmanniske periode og nye neo-klassiske bygninger komplet med udsmykkede søjler og tagfigurer af nymfer. Efter at genopbygningen af det nye centrum er udført i henhold til “Skopje 2014” -projektet, blev byen en af de populære destinationer i Østeuropa.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores dagstur til Skopje starter med afhentning fra dit centralt beliggende hotel/indkvartering i Sofia kl. 08:00. Efter cirka 4 timers kørsel når vi Skopje. Under den lange køretur lærer du det bulgarske synspunkt vedrørende regionens historie. Derefter får du to timers guidet tur i byen lavet af en lokal makedonsk guide. Du vil have chancen for at høre historierne om Jugoslavien og den moderne livsstil i landet fra en indfødt, hvilket vil gøre din oplevelse meget mere opfyldt. Derudover vil du sammenligne de to historiske fortolkninger og drage dine egne konklusioner. De højdepunkter, du vil besøge, er den gamle fæstning, Sultan Murat-moskeerne og den gamle basar, hvor vi får chancen for at se Caravanserais (kroer) fra den osmanniske periode, hvor Skopje var et af de vigtigste handelscentre på Balkan.
Historisk fæstning beliggende på det højeste punkt i Skopje, hvorfra du har mulighed for at beundre den fantastiske udsigt over byen.
En moske fra den osmanniske æra, bygget i det 15. århundrede. Det er et mesterværk af de tidlige osmanniske imperiers arkitektoniske resultater.
Vi vil krydse Vardar-floden ved stenbroen, den eneste bevarede bro fra middelalderen og starte vores udforskning af den nye del af byen.
Vi besøger det nye neo-klassiske torv i Makedonien. Der vil vi beundre den største statue af Alexander den Store og hans far Phillip II. Du vil stoppe og lære historien om de gamle makedonere og deres herskeres eventyr.
Vi fortsætter til Memorial House for Mother Teresa. Hun er den mest berømte person født i Skopje. Hendes arbejde og bidrag til verden fortjener enorm respekt. I husmuseet lærer du om hendes historie og sporer hendes liv ved den store fotografisamling. Den gående del af turen afsluttes ved Gate Macedonia (nyopført triumfbue). Efter vandreturen har du 2 timers fritid, hvor du har mulighed for at spise frokost og smage det traditionelle makedonske køkken. Turen afsluttes med drop off på dit hotel i Sofia

From beginning to end, it was a great trip, our driver was very knowledgeable about history and he explained things to us in detail and shared a lot of very interesting information. The journey was quite fast and the city is very pretty, although I think they could give us an additional hour or two to explore it more calmly.
This is a minivan trip taking approx 4 hours each way with 4 hours in Skopje. The guide picked us up on time and the trip to Skopje including the border crossing went smoothly. The guide even reminded us to switch off data roaming if we didn’t have a plan that covered North Macedonia. The Skopje tour itself was by a knowledgeable local guide who was obviously passionate about her culture and heritage while also giving some good practical tips to optimise the 2 hours of free time available after the tour. Skopje itself is well worth a visit I think we would return and spend a couple of nights there as 4 hours does not really do it justice. The trip back to Sofia was again smooth and we were back at our hotel before 8PM. Overall good value for money if tacked on to a visit to Sofia but if you can spend a few nights in Skopje.
I am so glad I did this trip as the day was wonderful. At first, I was worried that the drive to Skopje would be too much and that the day would be long, but that is not the case. The drive to and from actually took no more than 3.5 hours each time, but I think it’s because the border crossings went very quickly. The van is comfortable (see picture). The driver (Kiko) was friendly, hospitable, welcoming, engaging, and always made sure we were ok with toilet breaks. The female guide at Skopje (I forgot her name), was also friendly and engaging providing so much interesting information. The guide and the driver really took care of us. When arriving, you will have two hours with the guide, and two hours solo. Both solo time and time with the guide flew by. The guides will tell you so much about political history, architecture, people, and historic events and historic figures. This was a fun day. Don’t forget your passports, bottle of water, and sunscreen!
Ivan is a fantastic tour guide! He is very knowledgeable, great driver and strategic with out time. I really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend!
Great experience with a friendly, knowledgeable guide (Tuni), small group (6 guests), comfortable transportation and convenient hotel pickup/drop off. Tuni ensured we had a hassle-free experience at the border crossing and comfort stops along the way to/from Skopje. The local Skopje guide (Laina?) was fantastic as well! We spent 2 hours learning the city's history and sites with her, then had 2 hours to explore on our own This is a great city to visit for anyone with an interest in Christian historical figures/events {Mother Theresa, Holy Savior Church, Saints Cyril & Methodius).
The tour of Skopje was amazing. The drive to and from, however, was harrowing. In fact, the driver got a ticket on the way back (he should've gotten several).
The driver was very grumpy from the start of the trip and looked like he didn’t want to be there… once we got in the car the he jammed my hand in between the car seat and had the audacity to look annoyed 😒
Dear Eva, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all passenger concerns seriously, and we would like to clarify the circumstances of your trip. From the very beginning, our guide’s priority was your safety and compliance with border regulations, as this was an international tour. When it was discovered that your passports had been forgotten, our driver immediately offered to turn back so you could retrieve them, despite the delay this caused to the schedule. Regarding the seat incident: while trying to assist your husband in changing seats, the guide moved the folding seat to help him out. Unfortunately, your hand was placed in the gap at that exact moment, leading to an accidental pinch. Our guide apologized immediately and paused the vehicle to ensure you were uninjured and to give you time to calm down. Although you chose to cancel the tour on the spot and your subsequent communication included inappropriate imagery toward our team, we decided to issue a full refund as a gesture of goodwill. We stand by our guide, who is one of our most highly-rated and polite professionals, and we wish you all the best.
Very nice vehicle, comfortable drive. Our guide was a nice man who was very knowledgeable and spent majority of the drive telling us about the history of Sofia and North Macedonia. Some people forgot their passports but obviously since you are going to a different country you need them.
Great day tour to North Macedonia. Dim is a knowledgable and fun tour guide who really knows and loves driving. Thanks for a fantastic day out of Bulgaria.
The tour was very good; Ivan was a safe driver and shared many interesting details with us. Despite the long drive, there was no boredom. The time in Skopje is not very long; the tour provided a good overview, and there was time to look at everything again at a leisurely pace. It makes you want more.
