Highly recommended - Very reliable agency! Skopje is a city of contrasts that surprises us from the very first walk. On one side are the monumental statues and neoclassical facades in the center, and on the other is the old charm of the Old Bazaar. The stone bridge connects these two worlds. After lunch, we visited the exceptionally beautiful Matka Canyon—a boat trip through the canyon reveals rocks, rich flora and caves.

Beautiful Sights, Wonderful Guide, Lasting Memories - This was the first stop on our journey, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect start. North Macedonia is rich in history, culture, and stunning natural beauty — especially at Matka Canyon. The fall foliage made the roundtrip transport even more picturesque. Our guide, Ves, was exceptional — knowledgeable, patient with my parents and my many questions, and he knew exactly where to take us for a wonderful lunch. Overall, an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend!

A Breathtaking Canyon - The excursion to Matka Canyon and Skopje from Sofia is a little bit long ( aprox 3 hours drive) but I can tell you all: IT S WORTHY!!!!! The Canyon is breathtaking and it does a boat ride aprox 20 minutes to the vrelo cave. The cave is nice but not much to see. Try the pastry and the yoghourt in one of the shops close by. Skopje is nice , walkable and has some history. Monumental sculptures all over the city

You wanna go to Skopje? Go with Vasilin - A few days ago we had a great trip to Skopje,with Vasilin as our driver and guide. We had done a bit of YouTube research but Vasilin really brought it to life. Now I know why poor old Alexander the Great will forevermore be known just as a man on a horse.

You wanna go to Skopje? Go with Vasilin - Vasilin took us on a great trip to Skopje and Matka Canyon. We had done a bit of youtube research on the city but it was really brought to life when we were there and waking around with him. I found out why poor old Alexander the Great is now reduced to being just a man on a horse.
