Great driver and fun tour - The driver Philip was great and kept us entertained both with history and stories, while driving safely and on time. It takes about 3.5 hours each way without traffic (so 8-9 hours) so without him we'd be really bored and exhausted. We spent 3.5 hours in Skopje. The tour guide there was OK though she had a tendency to talk too quietly and to start talking before the entire group arrived, which, in a loud city like Skopje meant that we didn't hear much of what she said. Skopje is a nice town with a strong Ottoman influence and worth a visit (though honestly not as nice as say Plovdiv or Sofia in my opinion), and I think this tour company is a great way to do that

Long day - The meeting point was hard to find,no number to orient by.They should weight it is next to moskee and opposite Mac Donald.But we had driver Stefan,very good driver,friendly and service minded.Skopje is beautiful town,lots of culture and art.Go for it!But the best is ask for pick up at your hotel.

One day visit to Skopje - Our driver picked us up at the time and place indicated and we began driving towards Skopje. Along the way he answered questions and gave a bit of history. Once in Macedonia, we met up with our guide for the day. The instructions were clear as to where to meet after the tour. Our guide explained sites and history wonderfully as we navigated through Skopje. Parts of this group would go to take photos and stray away- which did take away time while we waited for them to catch up. My suggestion would be due to the limited time and fast pace, make sure you stay with the guide. There will have 2 hours to go back and get photos after at your leisure. Overall a wonderful trip! Driver and guide were both great I would recommend this tour

Marvellous Michael! - This review is not for Skopje itself, more about the company. I was at the meeting point for the Skopje day trip and after 20-30 mins, no car for my trip came. There was a car for the Nis, Serbia day trip and Michael was the driver/tour guide. I asked him about my trip and after looking, I had booked the wrong month. I was there with my passport, lunch and snack, ready for a day trip, so I asked if I could join the Serbia day trip instead. He called the office and within 2 minutes, it was confirmed and I was going to Serbia with the other tour! It was a fantastic day trip but I want to say a huge 'Thank You' to Michael for being so chill and cool about the situation and helping me change tours. Would definitely recommend this company.

Fun day discovering Skopje - I loved Skopje. What charming and intriguing place.
Meeting point for the tour was easy to find. I got there first, and our driver Stefan arrived about 10 minutes before the start time. On the way there, he shared some tips and insights about Skopje.
We had 2 restroom stops on the way which was nice to have.
The drive was 4 hours each way but it did not bother me at all. The van was comfortable and I slept most of the way.
Border crossing was very smooth and Stefan handled it efficiently.
Once we arrived in Skopje, a local guide was there waiting for us and took over then. It was a cold rainy day and it was nice of her to take us to a place where we can guy scarfs, umbrellas and gloves etc. before we started the tour.
The city has a lot to see, the tour had many stops but felt a bit rushed. She moved on and walked fast between stops , and I couldn’t hear her sometimes because she was talking while walking. But the sound of rain made it difficult to hear her.
Before the tour ended, the guide took us to a cafe where credit cards were not accepted. We had to go to a nearest ATM with a poor rate and a high fee to get cash.
I suggest taking about $20 worth of cash in Macedonian Denar.
If not, always ask if cards are accepted wherever you go, before you order anything.
Skopje’s old town was so charming, and felt like a maze. There seemed to be a lot of great food options. Next time I will fly directly into Skopje and stay there for at least a few days!
Thank you Stefan and B Travel!

Food/toilet was the last stop in walking tour. No admission into Museum City of Skopje or Mother Teresa house - The bad:
After immigration we headed straight to Skopje and we were handed over to another guide for a 2 hour walking tour which started immediately with no breaks for toilet nor food. We can get those in Old Bazaar which is the last stop. So pls visit the toilets when you get the chance during the driving breaks; and bring along some snacks.
Itinerary states admission included to Museum City of Skopje - we only see it from the outside and there was no admission. Itinerary also states admission into Mother Teresa house is free but we only had a few minutes for photo stops there. None of us in the group entered the house. I didn't know we can go inside until I reread the itinerary while writing this review.
The Good:
Driver was awesome, pickup vehicle was there waiting early before the pickup time. Safe driving skills with beautiful countryside scenery along the way. Driver handled the immigration process smoothly. Lucky for us the wait for immigration at the borders wasn't very long when getting there and back.
Overall it was a good trip for a day tour to a different country - but the itinerary and its delivery needs to be more matching.

A short trip, but the car journey is tiring. - It was public day in Macedonia, thus, we are not able to enter the museums. The local tour guide tried her best to bring us around. As we are only three in the tour group, the company didn't use the mini van and only using the car. It is very tiring to travel such a long distance in car as the space inside the car is limited.

Cancelled by operator the night before without explanation or option - Operator cancelled the night before without explanation or option. Book at your own risk. I had a plan B but be aware - very unreliable. This may explain the lack of reviews for this tour.

Book with caution - Tour was canceled by the tour operater in the afternoon the day before the arranged departure time. I was given and no alternative date. Book with a plan B in mind.
