A worthwhile tour - This was a great introduction to the history of Skopje, North Macedonia. Aleksander was our guide and I had a great time listening to him. He speaks English very well and he is very knowledgeable about everything that happened in the city. the country and the Balkans in general. So, this city tour is worthwhile and you’ll enjoy his conversation very much. You will not get bored at all.

Charismatic guide, fun tour - I took this tour while solo traveling to learn about the city. My guide was fun and engaging, and he told us a lot about the city and the nation while also keeping a good sense of humor about himself.

Thoroughly recommend this walking tour. A must for anyone visiting Skopje for the first time. - I travelled with my children (17, 14, 11), and decided to book this tour of Skopje to see the main parts of the city. The tour did not disappoint. The tour guide was excellent (apologies, i can't remeber his name, but I remeber he mentioned his wife was called 'Hope'). The tour and talk was very informative and funny. The guide was very personable and enthusiastic, which is great for everyone on the tour. I thoroughly recommend this walking tour for adults and children (those that can walk for 2 hours at medium speed with a couple of breaks included). The children and I got to see all the main points of interest in Skopje with the added bonus of history.

Entertaining city walk with valuable tipps for Skopje/North Macedonia - I enjoyed this city tour of Skopje a lot! Aleksander is a very knowledgeable guide with a good sense of humor for his own city. A great thing is you can ask him anything and he will provide the best answer. The tour starts in the new part and makes a full circle through the city's history and the major sights. Skopje is truly a unique city and I highly recommend to do the walking tour in the first days after arriving, as you are provided with valuable tipps also on what to visit around it/in North Macedonia.
