4.00Stefan our guide was truly amazing and very knowledgeable. Would have been a 5 if the village was fully open and we could have gone to the cross on the cable car.

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.
