Great tour. Very interesting. - We are two adult plus two 14 year old boys and their grandmother. Good trip for everyone.
Learnt so much from Tony about Macedonia, their food, politics, religion, culture, education etc etc.
Saw so many interest things, cave churches, springs, Struga etc etc
Stopped off at a restaurant on lake part way through day for coffee and saw fish, frogs, cranes/storks and snakes.
Would highly recommend.
