Skopje to Nis Day Tour with Optional Visit to Pristina
Kerry_O, Sep 2026
Fabulous day in Nis
My day trip from Skopje to Nis with Jordan was one of the highlights of my trip! I was looking for an opportunity to visit Serbia while staying in North Macedonia for a week, and this tour turned out to be a great choice.Jordan was excellent with communication from the moment I booked, keeping me informed and making the entire experience easy and stress-free.He picked me up bright and early, and we headed across the border for a full day of exploring. With his education in sociology, and extensive knowledge of Balkan history, Jordan was a wonderful guide. His ability to explain historical events and connect them to the places we visited made the experience especially interesting.What I particularly appreciated was that the day never felt rushed or overly structured. We had wonderful conversations throughout the trip, and Jordan was just as interested in hearing about my travels as he was in sharing his own knowledge. There were also some unexpected glimpses of everyday life in Serbia, including a wedding, a protest, and, believe it or not, a cheese vending machine!Traveling solo, I especially appreciated the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. Jordan is personable, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys introducing visitors to this part of the world. By the end of the day, it felt more like I had spent the day exploring with a friend than taking a guided tour.In addition to Serbia, Jordan offers private tours to other Balkan destinations, including North Macedonia, Albania, and Kosovo, which he enthusiastically describes as his favorite!I returned to Skopje with another country added to my passport (he made sure my passport got stamped on the way out since it was important to me), a much greater appreciation for the region's history, and some wonderful memories. If you're visiting Skopje and looking to explore beyond the city, I highly recommend this tour.

Ohrid UNESCO Heritage: Full-Day Guided Tour from Skopje

A ‘must’ for those visiting North Macedonia
This was our favorite tour as part of our visit to Skopje, Macedonia! Bojana was our tour guide and she is simply a delight! Knowledgeable and attentive to everyone’s needs! We also appreciated her ability to be flexible and give a medium-sized group options with regards to how we wanted to carry out the day! Please beware that this is full day tour since Ohrid is 2.5 hrs from Skopje so lots of driving back and forth before the tour actually begins but certainly worth if for those visiting North Macedonia! If within season, we would definitely recommend bringing a bag with a change of clothes for those wanting to swim - the water is crystal clear and cool and I regret only being able to dip my feet since not having bathing gear available!

Highly recommended
It was an amazing experience. I took the flight two times: one from Velesto village which is facing the whole city and the lake, the second was from Jablanica mountain 1600 meters. The flight was thrilling and super satisfying. The paragliding pilots- instructors were super friendly and informative about the whole experience. It is highly recommended and i will do it again with the next opportunity

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!

Perfect day trip
Amazing trip to some beautiful places, each town was given care and attention with a very thorough tour of each and historical facts. Tour guide Jane was very nice and always checked up on us in the heat and during longer stretches of our tour. Took us to a really nice restaurant that was well priced. Would go on this trip again and with the company anytime I was near, great price and perfect timings for the day without excessive free time at stops. Although we speak English, he made sure to accommodate everyone else too.

Only Wet Sunshine
As promised we were picked up and returned from our hotel . We were advised of an earlier time. We booked via TUi in the UK. Jordan our guide and Noel our driver were excellent. It was a long drive. The hike was shorter than I expected but a thunderstorm started and really heavy rain. So a quick exist from the mountain. It was interesting to see the area is used by Albanians 2nd homes around this lake. A lunch at a local restaurant. Trip to the Monestary John the Baptist. This was fabulous. Amazing place Jordon explained so much. We continued still wet on our journey back to Ohid and hotels. Both Jordon and Noel were great chaps. Jordon spoke really good English. Really enjoyed our day despite of getting soaked through. So Jacob it's only Wet Sunshine!

Great tour!
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!

Fantastic tour of the mountains - our favourite day of our trip to Ohrid
The mountains around the lake are really spectacular. This day involved some really exciting off road terrain (had to hold on tight to the handles in the Jeep!) but also lots of time to really admire the views and the abundance of wildflowers and butterflies. Our guide Nikola was really knowledgeable and great company through the day. We learnt a lot not just about the mountains but also about Macedonian life. The picnic lunch was fresh and delicious.My teenaged son said this was his favourite day of our trip.
