A "must not miss" in things to do in Skopje - This was easily one of the best tours I have ever had. I would describe it as a casual and fun history lecture. Alex was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He kept the tour fun and extremely interesting. This included history of North Macedonia, Skopje, local history and fun and hidden facts about the city. He also provided extremely helpful tips and advice! Highly recommend. - Patrick ,London, uk

Great Walking tour with Alexander - Our walking tour with Alexander was very good ,His knowledge of Skopje and the history of The Balkans was excellent and a great introduction to our break in North Macedonia ,He spoke clearly in English as well as talking to other members of the tour in their own language.He was always encouraging you to ask him questions throughout the walk and happy to share his views of his Country. Our group was small with only 8 people (and 3 friendly local dogs) walking around the city for about 2 hours . I would highly recommend this walking tour if you are visiting Skopje

An eye opening tour by a stimulating guide - Alexander is quite the character, rich in opinion and experience and knowledge. His English is excellent and he is a stimulating companion, who brings to life this beautiful and complicated place that is Skopje, North Macedonia, and the Balkans... Highly recommended and totally worth the money and time: you will look at this city and this country differently afterwards.

Great guide for Skopje - Alexander is a great guide, super knowledgeable with a global perspective on Skopje's history and present. His walking tour of the city is a great introduction to the main attractions of the city. Highly recommended. He's a licensed tour guide, working for himself, not a company, so you save money and are guaranteed to get him, and not a lesser professional.

Need to meet our guide again! - You will like to keep contact with Alesandar again not only because you want to hear more about his city and country but also because of his general socio- historical knowledge and characteristics as well. His humorous story telling is incredible! Should not miss this tour with him!

Get Real, Get Aleksander as your guide - What an incredible tour of Skopje. Listen, if you want some of the best indepth information and facts about Macedonia and Skopje, Aleksander is your guy. The number of spots that we were able to see on this fast paced walking tour is well worth your time. History, humor, the uncomfortable truths about the city, this tour had it all. Book this tour, request this guide, thank me later.
