A great tour in historical Bitola

We had a lovely time with Pece who is extreme insightful about Bitola's history and helpful with regards to us planning our trip. We'd recommend a two hours trip with around the city to understand its rich history.

Spontaneous Private Session with Pece

I had booked a tour for Friday afternoon, but Pece called me on Thursday if we can do it today, since he wasn’t around on Friday. I enjoyed company with Pece on our one2one tour and he gave me valuable historical and cultural background on the city of Bitola. It was also great to have a chat about life in general in his country and how things go in the city. It was definitely with it adding some facts and figures about Bitola to my trip here :)

Amazing Tour in Bitola

I booked this tour for my family visiting Bitola. From the start it was so easy to book and to coordinate with Pece. There is a heat wave here and my father was concerned about it so I coordinated with Pece and he was incredibly accommodating to adjust the time. The tour itself was very well organized in terms of maximizing information and while we walked for around 2-3 hours it was very relaxing. Pece is extremely knowledgable and passionate about Macedonia and especially Bitola! He gave us all so much information. Not everyone in the group spoke Macedonian and he was easily able to explain the very detailed history in English. He let us ask questions as well. Overall, the tour was 100% worth it. I would recommend anyone visiting Bitola to book the tour. It gives so much context and the city is rich with history. We had a wonderful time and cannot thank Pece enough!
