Appreciating the diversity of Balkan culture can be difficult, especially with limited time in the region. Explore Macedonian culture on a day tour to Skopje from Sofia, and tick off another Balkan capital in just 1 day. Enjoy the company of 2 professional guides - one from Bulgaria and one local from Macedonian. Travel the distance with ease via modern vehicle, and discover landmarks including the Skopje Fortress, Memorial House of Mother Teresa, and Old Bazaar, with insights provided by your guides. During this day tour you will have the chance to visit one of the most bizarre cities on the Balkan Peninsula. Skopje is a mixture of authentic monuments from the Ottoman period, and new neo-classical buildings, complete with ornate columns and rooftop figures of nymphs. After the reconstruction of the new center has been done, as per the “Skopje 2014” project, the city became one of the popular destinations in Eastern Europe.

Although it was a long drive from Sofia our driver was very informative and it made the time go faster. Michael the local guide was very good and gave us lots of information. We had plenty of time on our own and to have lunch. Glad I was able to go there.

Nicely organized trip. The driver picked us up on time. The driver was very nice. In Macedonia we met our local guide which was very nice also. The local guide took us to see a lot of places and at the end, took us to a nice restaurant for lunch. The down side of the tour was that there was not enough time for explaining the history and to ask questions. Overall, it was very nice and made us want to visit Macedonia for more
