Selim + Skopje Daily Tours

Selim is the real deal. Full day in Kosovo with a group of 8 — Pristina and Prizren — and he handled it flawlessly. Knowledgeable without lecturing, punctual without rushing, safe and confident behind the wheel. Keeping eight people happy and on schedule across two cities in a single day is no small thing. He made it look effortless. Book him via Skopje Daily Tours!

Lovely day trip to Ohrid

A great way to see Ohrid if you only have one day available. Bona, our guide, was very flexible and shared a lot of knowledge about both Ohrid and the history of North-Macedonia. We even got home made breakfast in the morning and a drinkable suprise at the end. A nice balance between guided history and free time. The driver was safe and cautious. All in all a beautiful city and a trip I would recomend to do.

Excellent tour of Skopje!!

Excellent day tour of Matka. Van provided comfortable transportation from a centralized pick up site. Mika, our tour guide, was amazing as he was not only entertaining, but passionate about the history of Skopje. Would highly recommend, especially trying the different tours offered!

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!
