Great tour - Spent an amazing afternoon with a tiny group despite the bad weather. Our guide Zarko was very friendly and informative, he gave us a very detailed overview of the country and the places we went to. The sites we went to had almost no one and we were like the only group there, and we were ahead of schedule so it was very chill. Overall very much recommended!

Amazing nature in Matka canyon - It was one of the best tours I’ve ever had and Elena was definitely one of the best guides. Especially the canyon is a really beautiful place and nature there is amazing. I can recommend this tour to everybody who will visit Skopje.

Reliable Company! - We had an amazing time. The service was perfect! Elena, our guide for the tour, was extremely prepared to give us all kind of information about the sites we were visiting that day! Always smiling and nice. We travelled on a mini van, so the group was a nice small group, with a driver that was driving perfectly! I would suggest the tour with Skopje Daily Tours for the quality, the knowledge of the staff about the places we visited, and the organization. Thanks!

Beautiful Country - I enjoyed the entire tour. Elena was our tour guide and she is very informative and kind. She drove us to each site on tour. We were able to visit the cross on the mountain and Matka was very beautiful, especially the boat ride which we (tourists) paid a bit extra to visit the Cave at Matka during the tour! It was wonderful and I hope next time to join another tour in the near future.

Really nice guide and worth the money - We had a really good time with our guide. She had some good stories about Skopje and the things we visited. We even got some recommendations for restaurants and places to see in Macedonia I will definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! - What an amazing experience led by our very knowledgeable, experienced and accommodating tour guide Darko. The 3 major sites visited were all blissful and breathtaking and Darko made sure we fully enjoyed ourselves and got the best vantage points and information. Darko was even kind enough to extend our tour based on our desires without any extra cost. Can’t wait to do another tour with Skopje Daily Tours. Big thank you for the one in a lifetime experience!

A must see and well organized trip - A great tour guide was on time at the pick up point and made everyone feel welcome. We had time at the cross which is very big cable car was fun and place to get a coffee at the top. Guide gave us a lot of info before every stop The canon is amazing along with the boat the the scenery is amazing Boat ride was cheap and we got to see the caves it was like a river in Africa and took you away from the city my only comments about the trip is the minibus was full with not much room and on a hot day the aircon did not seem strong. There some walking and getting to the caves is hard for anyone with walking problems but there guide was always there to help and the trip was made better by some fantastic American ladies Would book it again

Enjoyable way to kill half a day - Enjoyable way to spend half a day at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended. At the Canyon do take a boat ride even though the cave was not as special as my photo might suggest but the boat ride itself is still worth it. In case you are tempted by the roast sweet corn (nice) at the canyon they are 100d each whereas in the city they are 60-70d.
