It was a great small group (there were 5 of us in our mini-van) experience that covered what was advertised. It was easy to find the meeting spot for pick up in the morning and it was a short drive to Matka Canyon. We visited Matka Canyon first and it was nice to arrive before it got too crowded. The cost of the boat tour to the cave is not included in the tour price but all of us decided to go on it. It was fantastic to be out on the water - the colour of the water is incredible. The visit to the cave was OK - a little crowded as a big tour group arrived ahead of us. When we finished up, the parking lots were overflowing with vehicles so we got there at the right time. We then headed off to the Millennium Cross with one stop at a church on route (entrance to the church is an extra fee). The cable cars (cost included in tour) to and from the Millennium Cross run for half an hour and then have a break for half an hour. We had plenty of time to enjoy the views and could explore some of the walking paths before heading back down. Drop off at the end was easy. Elena was our tour guide for this trip - she was great at keeping us well informed and was a safe driver.

I really enjoyed this excursion. After arriving to Skopje in the morning it was an ideal first start that afternoon for the 1 pm option. The cross is cool, but the canyon and cave were definitely my favorite!
