Architecture Tour
Elena was a great local guide who is knowledgable and passionate about Skopje. She was very keen to make the tour as interesting as possible and able to answer all our questions in detail. It was interesting to see the university she studied at as part of the tour and hear about her experiences there. We left the tour knowing far more about the city and keen to discover more. Highly recommended.
