Unforgetable tour at Matka Canyon and surroundings! - I went with my friend. We both arrived a little bit late because we were buying souvenirs but the guide was waiting for us. That was so kind from him! We thought he would have left without us but he didn't. The guide was an amazing experience! Water, wine and sandwiches were included and we really enjoyed every minute of the tour! I highly recommend this tour! You won't regret it!

Very happy I booked this company - There are many options for a tour to Matka Canyon. I am very happy I chose this one. The company is new and run by a brother / sister team. Miha was one of the most friendly charismatic tour guides I’ve ever had. He helped create a great friendship among his group. This company will not disappoint, you will have a great time. The boat to the canyon costs 5 euro more and is worth it. The cable car to the cross does not operate on Mondays, but they will drive you close to tell you about it and you will have great views of the city. Also, less advertised, there is a stop to church which includes a very unique piece of history.

More he is very friendly and makes great jokes. Loved whole day spent around Skopje in this tour. So this is much more then you can axcept. Thanks for everything Mixa all the best from Nino&Onur.

Matka tour - This tour was awesome, we were family of four and we enjoyed every second of it. Everything seemed so planned and well organised. The tour guide Miha was really nice and we felt like we were part of his family, he was taking really good care of us, he always smiled and told a lot of interesting facts about Matka and North Macedonia. We recommend it to everyone, it’s worth going and you will have the best time there :)

Well arranged tour - Was well taken care of. Miha made us feel like friends. He could also tell a lot about the different places. In addition, he had also taken good care of sandwiches, water, wine and coffee at lunch.
Afterwards happy that we chose this tour instead of going by car and trying to discover.

A Fun Weekend Activity - Miha was an amazing tour guide, friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. His passion and love for Skopje comes through. He adjusted the order of our tour to ensure places were less busy and it was easier to get to. Matka Canyon was stunning, highly recommend the optional boat tour to see the cave.

Three stage tour with cool vibe and energetic, well-prepared guide - Guide was forming group from the first minute. He has deep knowledge of the place and delivers it in a unique style. Enthusiasm about his own culture and desire to show true Skopje (and surroundings) is what makes the whole tour extremely entertaining.

Great tour with a great guide - This was one fantastic tour and our guide Miha was probably one the best guides we've had and we've been on plenty of tours. Although this is down as a half-day tour we didn't feel rushed at all, Miha and his sister had an amazing laid back attitude and we were aable to enjoy every minute of it at an easy going pace, as well as being very fun he's also very knowledgable and passionate about the sights we saw, this was a brilliant was to end our lovely holiday in Skopje

Fun Day Trip - This is a great way to see Canyon Matka, Millennium Cross and the church, all in one day. Small group allows for you to interact with other guests, but not feel rushed. Actually, we had a leisurely picnic by the water.
I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to visit these places. While you could do each on your own, the time wasted for the bus to go and pick you up isnt worth it. Join this fun and informative trip.

Excellent tour! - Tour was fantastic! And our tour guides were as amazing as the other reviewers noted. Mikha and Olga were friendly, knowledgeable, and all around excellent guides. The day didn’t feel rushed and we had a lovely time at each of the sites. The lunch they provided was nice and the view stunning. I’d highly recommend anyone taking this tour!
