Our guide was super knowledgeable about the city. I recommend this walking tour to anyone. We had a great day.
Great tour, very knowledgeable guide! Lot of information to learn, I had been here 10 years ago and did not know before any of the things I learned on this tour.
Fantastic tour with Alex the multi lingual, highly knowledgeable and excellent guide. Alex took us on a gentle wander through the various parts of Central Skopje (accompanied by a possee of local stray dogs!) being both entertained and educated by Alex. Highly highly recommend.
Aleksandar was very well spoken and informative regarding the city which helped keep the tour entertaining. At the meet up point he even let people join the tour last minute maintaining professionalism and answering any questions along the way
The tour leads to interesting places in Skopje. Our guide was quite critical of the situation in North Macedonia - a great insight into real life here. The historical insights in particular were very interesting for understanding the Balkans a bit better. Highly recommended!
We did a walking tour of Skopje with Aleksandar today. It was an amazing experience. He is extremely knowledgeable, funny and approachable. The tour covers multiple areas of the city and includes lots of interesting information straight from a local. I would recommend everyone visiting Skopje to take this tour!
Extremely enjoyed this walking tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this city and it is well worth your time.
Aleksandar was great and the tour was very interesting. I fully recommend it
Excellent walking tour in Skopje (2 hours +) with Alexander. He is an independent guide which means that he talks freely, with lots of wit and sarcasm, and gives information that others might not divulge. He knew a lot about Macedonia/Yougoslavia, past and present. He gave us honest facts and opinions about the present, past and eventually positive future of Skopje and Macedonia. Perfect English.
It was a very enjoyable and fun experience. Our tour guide was very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and explained everything in an engaging and interesting way. You can really tell how passionate they are about the history and culture. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Skopje!
