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.
