North Macedonia Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had a great time with Alexandra. She is very knowledgeable and has a interesting way of explaining the history of the places so we were amazed by all the new things we learned. She recommended good restaurants and places to get things we wanted to buy. We definitely recommend her.

Easy biking tour with a very attentive and knowledgeable guide who speaks English fluently. You will learn a lot of interesting history and knowledge about Macedonia and Skopje. The guide is kind and helpful, and takes you on a trip through parts of Skopje. Looking at various historical places, you will see a lot and cover a lot of area in the biking tour. The biking area is flat, and not difficult to bike at all. We stopped at a couple of places for a beer, and listened to the interesting history of the places we visited. Memorial of Mother Theresa, the old Bazaar in old town, churches, bridges, statues to name a few things. You really get a different feel of the place, more genuine and personal. Highly recommended.

Aleksandra was so pleasant, knowledgeable and wonderful. She toured with us for 2 days and I highly recommend!! She's also a wonderful photographer! 🫶

This tour completely changed my perspective on tour guides. The guide is exceptionally knowledgeable—not just about the history of the Balkans, but history and general knowledge across the board. His English is excellent, and he also speaks German. He can even break down the fascinating history of words that ended up in this region, including their Greek, French, Arabic, and Turkish roots. You get a genuinely authentic picture of the city. You can ask him literally anything—whether it's about history, languages, local demographics, or historical migrations—and you’ll get a deep, accurate explanation. What makes the experience even better is his fantastic interaction with the group, along with his healthy, open-minded worldview. On top of that, he gives excellent local tips and points you toward the best spots in town. I highly recommend booking his tour as soon as you arrive in the city!

We had such a great walking tour with Aleksandar! He was super energetic, honest and really easy to listen to. His knowledge goes way beyond just Skopje and Macedonia. He shared so many interesting facts and stories that we honestly kept learning new things the whole time. We asked A LOT of questions and he answered every single one properly and with so much knowledge. You can really tell he genuinely loves what he does. Definitely recommend him if you’re visiting Skopje!

Definitly an amazing evening! We had some great wines, even better food and a cool group of peoole! So, good food, good wine, good people. What more can you want?

Last week we did the wine tasting with BBQ. Super cozy with nice company and delicious wines. Beautiful view over the lake and the sunset. Definitely recommended if you want to have a relaxed evening!

Elena offers a wonderful insight to the history of the rebuilding of Skopje after the 1963 earthquake and the role of Kenzo Tange who developed the master plan for the redevelopment. If you love Brutalist architecture you will love this tour. You get to see some of the finest examples of Yugoslav Brutaliam.

Nice way to explore the area and meet new people. Tobias was great.

Amazing experience, what can j say more truly recommended

Magical location. Lovely hosts. The Balkans are exceptional for food, wine and hospitality (maybe because they have not had everything degraded by capitalism, maybe because of the strong family culture and maybe because of the weather) This is right at the top of our experience of Macedonia. Public transport is not fabulous in Macedonia, but we had a lovely driver who mentioned this place. Within minutes, he had called the hosts arranged for us to visit. I think they are very busy, but kindly fitted us in. What a memorable experience! We sat amongst sparkly lights, outdoors and there was so much effort and value in the food and wine before we even got to the rakjia. I honestly wondered what I had done to deserve this. A top experience with our children and nephew that I will value always. If you want to know about the rakjia, you will have to try it. You will not be disappointed.

A nice experience. The guide was very kind and the visit was very interesting.

I really enjoyed this tour! It was one of the highlights of my visit to Macedonia. We couldn't visit the Millennium Cross because the city closed the cable car to renovate it but that meant spending more time in the Matka Canyon which I was more excited about, so it was fine for me. The Panteleimon Monastery was beautiful and it had a gorgeous view. Matka as well was a beautiful place. I would recommend taking the long boat tour once you're here. Petar, the guide, was awesome and very kind. You'll be lucky to meet him if you book the tour. Definitely recommended!

Great food and great conversation. Igor was so nice and made the experience special. 10 out of 10 highly recommend this food tour.

The host was amazing and he gave us a history of his country and city and all the street food was amazing

We really enjoyed the tour, the guide was excellent and knew all interesting things. We saw the city from a different viewpoint. !!😎🤩
