Very friendly and warm! - The facilitator knows how to give cohesion to the group. As a result, the time spent together is very pleasant, beyond the landscape.

The driver and guide was the best we have had. He spoke the entire trip about the local sites, culture, etc. - He was a safe driver and the van was clean. He was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. He interacted well and engaged with everyone. He also provided lunch and wine.

Matka-Canyon - Beauty Beyond - What would you expect from a trip exploring the landscapes around Skopje? Certainly not the incredible surprise of meeting a guide like Nasar! With his stylish glasses (the best I’ve seen in ages), his hat, and his ID-card around his neck, he was easy to spot at the gathering point—and even easier to connect with. His warmth, knowledge, and hospitality made me feel as though I’d already become familiar with the city’s surroundings simply by meeting him.
And then came the highlight: Matka Canyon. What an unforgettable adventure! Gliding along the emerald waters on a motorboat felt like drifting into a secret world, with towering cliffs, hushed serenity, and light dancing across the river. Every bend revealed another masterpiece of nature, as if we were floating inside a living painting. I’ll confess—with just the slightest twinge of envy—that I found myself eyeing those graceful kayakers skimming so close to the water. Still, whether by motorboat or kayak, this place is pure magic.
The visit to the Millennium Cross may have felt a little rushed, thanks to the amusingly unpredictable running times of the cable car, but the sweeping view over the city made every second worthwhile.
All in all, it was an adventure I’d wholeheartedly recommend—an experience that combines nature, culture, and a touch of wonder in every direction.

Great tour in Skopje - This was a great tour with Mikah and Sergio. They were professional, kind, and attentive to our needs. The boat ride in Matka valley was amazing, we almost miss this ride thinking it was not safe, glad we changed our minds and had a memorable experience. Snacks and wine tasting was great. Mikah was knowledgable and funny. I highly recommend this tour…

Wonderful journey accompanied by a perfect guide - Our guide Miha was amazing. He provided perfect hospitality, attitude, and detailed knowledge and introduction on complex history and religion issues on the Balkans.
Matka Canyon was gorgeous, Church St. Pantelemon was impressive and Mt. Vodno was a great place to view Skopje surrounding. Miha’s presence made every one joyful in every event. We had a great sandwich lunch with white wine in a park. Overall, it was one of the best tours I ever participated in the last 30 years.
Miha是一位完美的導遊。他提供了絕佳的服務態度，而且具備豐富的知識介紹了巴爾幹半島上許多國家複雜的歷史和宗教的衝突和眼鏡。Matka峽谷的風景非常漂亮、St. Pantelemon教堂內的豐富臉部表情的壁畫令人驚嘆、Vodno山上可以遠眺Skopje四周地區。總結，因為Miha，這是我30年來參加過最好的旅遊行程之一。
