Excellent trip

A really great trip. Sadly the cable car was out of order but we went to see a traditional village instead.

Matka Canyon - Jimmy's tour

Wow, just wow! The tour itinerary included so many interesting and breathtaking places. The walk out to the canyon offered awesome views of the canyon etc. Our tour, Jimmy was excellent throughout. We was very attentive to all the different to the needs of group which was appreciated by the various guests from elderly, to pregnant ladies- he was conscious of them all.As a teacher myself, I appreciated his enthusiastic and passionate delivery of the content of the tour. He made a real effort to make a connection with everyone- which I appreciated as a solo traveller. if I wasn't leaving tomorrow , I would have joined his other tour to Kosovo.

Toeristisch maar de moeite waard

Heel druk en toeristisch in Matka Canyon maar mede door goede en heldere begeleiding van Sonja een mooie dag.

Vlad is an sxelent and knowledgeable tour guide

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Matka Canyon and Millenium Cross by cable car. Vlad was very knowledgeable abd entertaining tour guide. During our trip he presented a lot of interesting and helpful information about Skopje, Macedonian history, culture and original wedding traditions. He even surprused us with his knowledge about botany, geology and fauna. The tour was very well organized. Thank you Vlad for a day full of fun and learning!
