5.00Picked up on time and driven safely and in comfort. Along the way given many facts about the history and culture of Macedonia. Nothing felt rushed and had our best day in skopje. The boat trip in Matka was a highlight. Histrijan the guide is a credit to the company and if we had more time in skopje would have booked another trip. Will be back to Macadonia soon hopefully.

5.00Excellent half day tour with very good guide Bona !! She was really helpful and gave all the usefull information. The options the details everything was fine. However we had a very bad rainy weather so we could not see the Millenium Cross. The only remark i have to do and it was really something to correct was that the driver left us so far and because of the heavy rain we all got wet !!! He should come and pick up more close
