          Excellent Experience
          Our trip to Kosovo was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Helen, our driver, was not only highly skilled behind the wheel but also incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s history and culture. She provided us with fascinating insights into Kosovo’s past and present, making the journey much more enriching than we had anticipated. Throughout the trip, she ensured that we were comfortable and well taken care of, always attentive to our needs and happy to answer any questions we had. Her friendly and professional demeanor made her a real pleasure to deal with, and we felt like we were in excellent hands the entire time. Thanks to Helen’s expertise and engaging storytelling, we left with a much deeper appreciation of Kosovo and its heritage. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a well-organized and informative journey!

          Wonderful driver & guide
          We did a sightseeing transfer from Sofia to Skopje with Rila Monastery stop on Dec 22. Our driver Igor came on time to pick us and the luggages. He is easy to communicate. He drives within speed limit. We can enjoy the scenic landscape and take many photos along the route. We had one hour stop at Rila Monastery and ample time to see the whole monastery. Igor bring us to a traditional restaurant for lunch. The food is good. He then dropped us safely at the apartment we booked. We had a great experience with Igor. He is always accommodating to our request and smiles all the time. We are happy to have him as our driver. We also booked a full day Best of Skopje with Skopje Daily tours on Dec 23. When we see Igor again as our driver, we happily greeted him. This time he bring a guide Oliver to join us. Oliver speaks perfect English and she is passionate and give us the best of Skopje. She never stop giving us details of history and culture on the sights along the route. We do appreciate her enthusiasm in ensuring we know and understand the sights. After visiting Matka Canyon and St Panteleimon monastery, we wanna get a closer glimpse of the Millenium cross. Igor drove us to a viewpoint. However the cross was covered by clouds and startled to snow. After a traditional lunch, Oliver started walking tour in new and old part of the city. We covered Makedonija Square, Old Bazaar, Stone bridge, Mother Theresa Memorial & end tour in Old Train Station around 5pm. During the walk, we understand deeply on the history and culture that carved Skopje as it is today. Specially thank Oliver for giving us her best.

          We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Mr Zarko. We greatly appreciate his intellect and knowledge, learning a lot about the geopolitics of the region which we like having an understanding of. Of course we also enjoyed the sight-seeing. We also shared literary interests which made the trip so much more enjoyable. Thanks My Zarko, you really made our day. We highly recommend the tour.

          Matka canyon
          Awesome tour. Transportation was on time and great. The tour guide lady was very knowledgeable, friendly and shared many great recommendations. The tour included the transportation, nice hike along the river, we paid extra for the boat ride to the canyon, visited a beautiful church on the way, went up to the cross. Great conversations during the tour. The price was way cheaper through tripadvisor versus the advertised prices at the bazaar. Highly recommend! Thank you

          Charismatic and passionate guide
          Highly recommend Vladimir for anyone looking to explore history in an unforgettable way! He knows multiple languages. His charisma immediately draws you in, making every moment of the tour engaging and enjoyable. I felt comfortable around him (as a female solotraveller). He's also very passionate and knowledgeable about Skopje. Don't miss out!!

          Great tour to Canyon Matka, Church of St. Panteleimon and Millenium Cross
          Our tour guide Vladimir (Vlad) was great, told us very interesting information about history and culture of Nothern Macedonia and Skopje. Answered all our questions, while he was also a very good driver, drove safely and carefully. Canyon Matka was amazing, beautiful place to visit, we also saw small, interesting church of St. Panteleimon. Only pity was that we had very small amount of time to enjoy the Millenium Cross. Otherwise, the whole trip was great experience.

          A wonderful day
          Definitely recommend this tour. Our guide (and guide in training) were knowledgeable, and generous of spirit- answering our questions and sharing their own experiences. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day in the off-season. The visit to the archeological site was very interesting, and we both appreciated the winery lunch/tasting. The food was traditional and delicious and each course had a wine pairing.

        A nice relaxing tour experiencing what the area surrounding the lake has to offer. Picked up from our hotel by our guide Marco who spoke excellent English and was very knowledgable. We had a lovely day exploring the sites and crossing the border into Albania and back again, although Albania does not have as much to offer for tourism as Macedonia it was nice to see the differences in the two countries. Stopping for lunch in Albania we had the opportunity to enjoy some local food before heading back over the border. The shore of the lake has some wonderfully scenery to enjoy as you travel along and for us was a great way to see the area.

        We had a fabulous day driving around the lake and visiting interesting sites, nice lunch in albania and Tony, our guide, was helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable so he made the tour come alive for us. Was also fun to go into Albania and see Ohrid from the other side of the lake.
