Great explanations. Helpful tips.
Guide very prepared, helpful and kind. We had a beautiful walk through the city; he described the artistic part and told us many historical facts.
Jordan accompanied us through the streets of the city telling us not only the historical events, but making us immerse ourselves in the culture and uses of the locals. We appreciated his kindness and his solicitations to show him our impressions. Recommended!
Amazing walking tour experience all the way great knowledge of the city , a real example of the hospitality of the Macedonian 🇲🇰
Beautiful tour, very interesting and the guide is very knowledgeable, I recommend it because it will help you discover many aspects of Skopje
We made the visit with Jordan (organizer) who turned out to be a great guide. During the visit we visited the main attractions of the city and got to know more about the history of Macedonia up to the present day. In addition, the organizer proved very helpful in the days following the visit, becoming a reference point for our holiday giving us advice and suggestions on clubs, restaurants and much more. I recommend booking this tour on the first useful day of your stay in Skopje.
