Description
With me in Skopje you will try "'Boza'' (a drink that originated in the Ottoman Empire), you will have breakfast ''Simit'' in a bakery since 1956 and taste the homemade ''Baklava''. I will show you: * Main city square with the huge monument of Alexander the Great. * Pedestrian street Macedonia * Memorial Home of Mother Terresa of Skopje * The post-earthquake buildings of the Japanese Kenzo Tange * Embassy of Italia, Spain, and Arabic house * The brutalist architecture of the city * Old Bazaar and Golden Street My motto is: Travel constantly, because travel is an elixir for the soul and gymnastics for the brain, and leave the rest to us.

Informative and entertaining
Our guide was so passionate about what he does and that made all the difference. We learn't so much about Skopje in just the time we had on the tour. Totally worth it and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to know about the fascinating history of Skopje.

Good discovery of the city. Lots of commentary from the guide (you need a good level of English to understand everything) because he spoke quickly.

Nice walking tour with food recommendations
Dejan was a great guide not only informing about architecture and history, but also giving recommendations for restaurants, souvenir shops etc. One can always ask him questions that he answers competently. Most importantly for us as Germans, he was very punctual ;). Also it us maybe interesting for some tourists that the tour is mostly barrier free, except for the old Muslim quarter with the bazaar, where the streets are paved with cobblestone mainly.

Very interesting and beautiful tour

Disappointed
A useless tour! our guide nn was competent, nn explained nothing . if one books tours with experts is to have information and know a little history, the guide was improvised could speak only a little Italian but nn was able to give you the necessary information .paid 30 € nn was not even worth 1€
Operator response
Dear Travelers, My city walking tours are only in English. I don't speak Italian. You've probably confused me with another tour in another city you've visited. Best Regards.

Nice friendly guide
Very good quick walk of the old city. I may have missed some streets if I did not take the tour. Tour was rescheduled but it worked out fine
C
Educational and Funny
Dejan (the guide) was great at explaining about the city and the country. Really recommend the tour as you learn why there are so many different styles on the buildings e.g. We walked at a calm pace and got lots of tips on what to do, eat and see in Skopje.
