Skopje becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Museum of the Macedonian Struggle, Woman-Warrior Park, Museum of the City of Skopje and Mother Teresa Memorial House. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Skopje.

**Exceptional Service from Global Transfers – Highly Recommended!

I cannot recommend **Global Transfers** enough! My experience has been absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. The service was professional, reliable, comfortable, and, most importantly, so personal and welcoming. On 15th October, I had a private transfer from **Skopje, North Macedonia to Sofia Bulgaria **. Travelling in a comfortable Mercedes-Benz made the journey even more enjoyable. My driver, **Slavco**, was absolutely fantastic — friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the journey. He treated me like a queen and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. He also helped me tremendously with both border crossings, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I was so grateful for his assistance and kindness! A huge thank you to **Dimitar owner Global Services and Slavco** for going above and beyond to make my travels so enjoyable. Their genuine care, kindness, and attention to detail made me feel valued and well looked after every step of the way. I am truly happy and grateful for their outstanding services. If you are looking for comfortable, reliable, safe, and professional private transfers and tours in the Balkans, **Global Transfers is the company I wholeheartedly recommend!** Thank you, Dimitar and Slavco, for making my trip so special.

Troy_A, Aug 2026

This was a really great...

This was a really great experience. The ride was pleasant and our guide, Haris, was very good. Haris gave us a very informative history of the country and how it is integrated with surrounding cultures. The visit to the Monastery of Saint Panteleimon was beautiful, and great views of the city, then explored a wonderful recreated village. Visiting Matka canyon was really nice, including the boat tour of the lake and cave (additional €8.5). Again, Haris was a really great guide for the day and I highly recommend this tour. Great for the price too!

Fascinating trip - learnt a lot!

Fascinating trip - I learnt a lot about the history and context of the region, this trip is much more than just seeing the sights. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about the history and complexity. Good time and itinerary management, our guide was experienced and knew how to avoid the traffic (during a national long weekend holiday!), and kindly took us via a scenic mountain drive as an extra bonus - the small group size was perfect for the day tour, thank you so much!

This was the perfect half-day trip to escape the city and experience some of the beautiful nature around Skopje. Matka Canyon was stunning, and the cave visit was a real highlight.
