Two exciting hours with a behind-the-scenes look at Skopje - Knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We got a lot of information about the city and the current political situation. The tour included the main attractions of the city centre. Great entry if you want to explore Skopje on your own.

CIAO, BRAVO, FALA! - Aleksandar was very sympathetic and answered our questions in detail. He was full of energy and humor and also addressed serious and critical issues. His positive nature is fun and the critical issues prompt reflection. His approach is very transparent and informative. Highly recommended.

Very informative tour. I recommend. - Comprehensive information about the city, the country and the peoples of Macedonia. Aleksandar is a very knowledgeable guide, he tells stories with a proper dose of humour. Definitely worth generous tipping.

Aleksandar - Best Tour Guide - Having Aleksandar as our tour guide was fantastic, Aleksandar actually takes you on a "walking tour" of the city and we learned so much about the city of Skopje. After leaving the meeting point, our group followed Aleksandar as we walked throughout the city, seeing all of the tourist sites in addition to the back streets of the city. We constantly were kept walking which allowed us to see so many parts of the city. We loved seeing the back streets as well. Aleksandar talked the entire tour, providing the history of the city and the statues in addition to tidbits of info on the parts of the city we were passing through. I have taken many walking tours across Europe and this was the best tour ever. Hats off to a real tour guide.
