What are people saying about Skopje

Skopje: Canyon Matka, St. Pantelemon, Millennium Cross & Brunch

Annelle_C, Apr 2026

Come for the Views, Stay for the Vibes

If you’re thinking about doing the Canyon Matka, St. Panteleimon, Millennium Cross & Brunch tour, just book it. Honestly, one of the highlights of my trip. The meeting point is super easy to find, just across the bridge, and the small bus setup makes it feel really personal, not one of those big crowded tours. But what truly makes this experience is the people. Miha and his brother-in-law are absolute legends. So much love, laughter, jokes, and even a bit of wine along the way, it felt more like a day out with friends than a tour. The picnic brunch was such a beautiful touch too, just relaxing, taking in the scenery, and enjoying great company. I would recommend this 1000% to anyone visiting Skopje. Such a fun, warm, and memorable experience.

Damir is a great tour...

Damir is a great tour guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable. We had enough time to explore both of the cities. The last stop to visit local small village is great. We are glad that we took this tour instead of going to Pristhina only. Thank you Damir.

Great trip to Kosovo

I enjoyed my tour with Aphrodite. I received a message beforehand from her, so I felt very comfortable that I will be at the right spot at the right time. She is a wealth of information on the topics of North Macedonia, Kosovo, and former Yugoslavia. I asked a ton of questions because no region in Europe has had as much changes as these countries. I got to see and do all that I wanted. If you make it to Skopje, I believe it is a must to schedule this day trip. I'm not much of a shopper, but trust me when I tell you.... Kosovo has some really good shopping deals...I mean to good to pass up!

A Memorable Adventure

You have the option to go solo or as a group. I went solo. It gave me more leverage to say determine. How long I want to stay at each location. Prishtina had some great history. I enjoyed Prizren. I had a great time. Boris was a great tour guide. I will specifically ask for him on my next trip to Skopje.
