About
With this, carefully selected itinerary, you will stay a bit out of the most touristic places of Bulgaria and get deeper into the atmosphere of our history, culture, way of living in different time periods, and, of course, the wine, which is seriously involved in it. We can say that this tour is more like a boutique one because it is a wonderful combination of nature, sightseeing, and traditions with 2 overnights in some of the best chateaus in Bulgaria, where you will enjoy great food, served with the appropriate wine. For the rest of the evenings, you will enjoy beautiful towns and cities, like Trigrad, Melnik, and Plovdiv

        Wonderful tour to Skopje from Sofia! Well worth it.
        I wanted to visit Skopje and North Macedonia but without having to pay for a whole new air fare and hotel to do it. I found this Skopje day tour from Sofia and I’m glad I booked it, it was the perfect way for me to see this new destination. A big thanks to our tour guides Dimo and Lena for delivering this memorable experience that introduced us to Skopje and North Macedonia, because of them we had an amazing day! Dimo picked me up from my hotel at 8 am, introduced me to our group at and drove us about 3 and a half hours to Skopje arriving at around 11 am, we gained an hour due to the time difference. We stayed in Skopje for 4 hours, doing a guided walking tour with our wonderful tour guide Lena for 2 hours and then taking 2 hours of free time to do whatever we liked in the city. There was much to see in Skopje and I took lots of great pictures and videos, I loved my time there! At 3 pm Skopje time we met back with Dimo and he drove us back to Sofia, arriving at around 8 pm. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, I was able to see a new destination without having to pay for another airfare and hotel accommodation. If you’re in Sofia and are curious about Skopje and North Macedonia don’t hesitate to book this tour, it’s an excellent way to get a glimpse at this city and country. - Nolan

        Very interesting day with beautiful views
        We were picked up from our Airbnb on time by our guide, Domi, who was fantastic. He told us all about the countries’ history, pointed out sights as we went past, knew all about the places we visited and even stopped for us to get coffee. Was an amazing day

        全てが素晴らしい、最高のツアー💕
        本当に素晴らしい2日間でした! ガイドの、ボリスも非常に親切で、色々なことを提案してくれたり、連れて行ってくれたりしました。 自分ではなかなか巡るのが難しい場所も効率よく連れて行ってくださり、2日間で非常に充実したプランでした。 景色も、食べ物も、人も、みんなが素晴らしい北マケドニアとコソボです。 ホテルも清潔で、朝食も美味しく、とてもよかったです。 本当に、ガイドの、ボリスには感謝をしています。心からのありがとう。💕 It was a truly wonderful two days. Our guide, Boris, was very helpful and gave us lots of suggestions. They arranged the places we wanted to go based on our time. It was such a fulfilling time that it didn't feel like it was just two days. The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is also delicious. Both North Macedonia and Kosovo were filled with delicious food, beautiful scenery, and kind people. A huge thank you to Boris for a great tour and a fantastic guide.💕

        Don’t hesitate and book
        Amazing 6 day tour around Bulgaria with Ivo as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, reliable and open to any change we had to make. He recommended us so many nice places we didn’t think ok and I am really grateful for that. Regarding Bultrips itself, contact was smooth and easy, accommodating and very responsive. Adrian was available at any time 🙏

        Long but worthwhile trip
        Scenic views on the way. Dimo was a great guide and driver. Long drive straight to Skopje and two hours walking tour with guide and two hours free time. Skopje is very nice and walkable city.

        Great experience!
        Although the ride there took a bit long in a small bus, it was compensated by the interesting stories of the nice guides who also drove. In Skopje, we were accompanied by a Macedonian guide who took us to the canyons. He really did his best to make us feel as comfortable as possible. Nothing was too crazy or too much to ensure a great experience.

        Perfect trip
        What a perfect private tour of Rila monastery and Boyana church. This was just a tour with 2 people and the guide. The guide was really relaxed and made the trip about us and what we wanted to see. This made us feel relaxed and made it more a conversation that just a typical tour. We went for lunch at this perfect ‘non tourist’ spot by the river which was a highlight of the day also. All round, I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a great day exploring while it not feeling touristy.

        Highly Recommend Day Trip to Skopje, North Macedonia!
        It was an interesting trip! Our driver from Bulgaria (Kiril) was knowledgeable and kept us entertained on the drive to Skopje with stories and interesting facts about Bulgaria and North Macedonia. Our guides in Macedonia (Lena in Skopje and Vlado at the Matka Canyon) did a great job! This trip gives you some insight into the complex history of the region and also a great view of the beautiful countryside of both Bulgaria and RNM on the drive to and from Skopje. It's long day (about 12 hours start to finish) so bring some water and snacks for the road!

        Fabulous Introduction to a New Country!
        Really enjoyed our trip to Serbia with this company. Laura our guide was fabulous - friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to help. We also really appreciated the hotel pick up and drop off option, which made the whole process so much easier. The trip to Constance the Great’s Villa and the Skull Tower were fascinating. We would’ve perhaps liked a little more time in Nis itself to soak up the atmosphere in a Serbian city, but otherwise the trip was thoroughly enjoyable and I’d definitely recommend it to get a glimpse of Serbia.
