- pameladY3003NA00AWESOME PLACE WOULD LIVE THERE IF POSSIBLEWe booked this tour the night before and they were able to fully accommodate us. Communication was excellent. They sent a driver to our airbnb and our guide was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the areas she took us to and answered all our questions (even the dumb ones). We had a great time!
- Cynthia O00Excellent tour guide for a glimpse of this newest countryExcellent guide Naile gave the two of us a informative and personal tour of both Prístina and Prizren. We learned so much seeing all the sites and hearing her personal experiences there. Excellent driver for the long day. Highly recommend.
- JJJP00Fascinating Visit to Kosovo- highly recommendedThis is a fantastic way to visit Kosovo. The tour was professional and unrushed throughout. I felt we had plenty of time to visit the sites and ask questions. Our guide Ajhan was so knowledgeable, informative and balanced on the tour. He spoke perfect English. Miki was a cheerful and good driver who also spoke English. The walking tour of Prístina was really interesting. I loved visiting Gracanica Monastery and the highlight of the day was our visit to beautiful Prízren. Enjoying lunch by the river and touring the town is a must. I highly recommend this tour. Do ask for Ajhan as your guide, if you are booking .
- delwynr201300Great way to visit Kosovo from SkopjeA fantastic way to visit Kosovo in a day. Miki was a very safe driver and communicated well with us during the drive. We met our guide, Damir in Pristina who was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Overall a great day out. We travelled in a Mercedes car so felt like royalty sitting in the back seat!! One thing - we paid 4 x the price that was advertised on TripAdvisor (Advertised at around AUD$75 and paid almost $300 each - even though we booked on this site) - I'm guessing it was because there was only two of us?? But we didn't request a private tour so not sure what would have happened if other people had ended up booking on the same day? I just hope that some of the extra we paid was passed onto Miki and Damir.
- AussieHolidays00Professional, knowledgeable and funWe utilised Explore Macedonia for two day trips and a transfer to the airport. We did the day trip from Skopje to Kosovo, plus the day Winery trip to Sopot. The day trip to Kosovo was well organised and we never felt rushed. Our driver spirited us thru the border quickly whilst everyone one else was lined up waiting for clearance. The local Kosovar guide was great, knowledgeable and personable. The Sopot winery visit, where we had five course meal with paired wines, was an awesome day. The winery is well and truly worth a visit. I think Explore Macedonia is very easy to deal with and offers quality tours. If we were to travel to Macedonia again, we would happily utilise their services. A shout out to Mikki, our driver, he was excellent.
- Tibor450000On the way to Ohrid from SkopjeWe rent a car and on the way to Ohrid managed this visit. Easy to access and worth to visit, there is a nice cathedral there in the valley. Now the church was on dry thx to the low water level, but sometimes it is in the water.
- 557paalt00Fantastic time in Skopje🌞We had a great time in Kosovo🌞 Visited beautiful and interesting places. Very good driver and guide👏👍🌞 we booked a total of 4 trips with Miki and Plus Travel Skopje. Great service and experiences.
- kirtod2800Amazing trailsAmazing trails, groomed recently, safe and easy to ride with kids. The whole trail is in woods so it is pleasant during summer
- Liliane A00Value of the visit doesn’t justify the long driveIf you don’t have much time in Albania, I would deprioritize this trip. It was too many hours in the car versus the time spent in the two cities we visited and also Prishtina just turning out to be quite ordinary, Prizren was nice. If you have time on your hands and curious about Kosovo for its history and politics, sure, it could be a good tour. But out of 6 tours we did (including visiting North Macedonia which was a favorite), driving back and forth to Kosovo was the least enjoyable. Having said that our guide was professional and so was the company.
- Sllovak7200Ohrid was amazing and Ivana was the best tour guide!Ohrid was beautiful. Our driver was polite, helpful and informative. Our tour guide Ivana was fantastic, very knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic and very funny. She made it the best day of our holiday. Ohrid is well worth the visit.
- AIZ161800Exceptional customized private tour in North MacedoniaMy son and I did a customized private tour of North Macedonia at the beginning of June, focusing mainly on churches and monasteries. We travel a great deal, and have had private tours all over the world, so when I say that our experience has been exceptional, I am comparing it with at least 50 other ones. What stands out the most was our guide Ivana, who was with us for the full 6 days. She was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and (perhaps most importantly) she happens to be a really nice person. I genuinely enjoyed our conversations with her, which often went well beyond history and art. Our drivers were very good as well. We asked to visit a number of places that were "off the beaten path", so their job wasn't always easy. For all longer drives, we had a luxury car (a Mercedes), which was very comfortable. I can also commend the owner of the company, Miki Simonovic, for organizing everything very efficiently, and accommodating all our requests. At the end of the trip, he even drove us to the airport himself (at 2:00 a.m, no less). That is not something that one encounters often. Finally, a few word about the country itself. It is a hidden gem, with historic roots that date back to antiquity. Ohrid is a must see, and one should devote several days to it. Some of the frescoes that we saw there (and in a few other places) were magnificent, and are among the most impressive achievements of medieval art that I ever encountered. And there are no crowds - we were often able to enjoy these masterpieces on our own, which clearly enhances the experience. If you are a savvy traveler looking for something authentic and unspoiled, this is the right place to visit.
- Christine K00Great driver, knowledgeable tour guide and plenty of time, if requested, to enjoy the area on my own after the forma PoeGreat driver (felt safe and trip was comfortable and enjoyable) and knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Highly recommend!
- turistA080200So happy we found this company for two day trips!We took two day tours with this company are were very happy with their services. Communication with Miki before the trip was easy and efficient. Both days we had professional, friendly, and safe drivers, and wonderful local tour guides. We definitely recommend Plus Travel Skopje for all your Macedonia and Balkans experiences.
- Lorna232100Naumka is an amazing guideWe too had the amazing Naumka. Everything everyone writes about her completely true in my personal opinion.
- Mobile2197140718800Beautiful place with great guide and driverWe had a great time exploring Kosovo with our host Ajhan, Pristina in particular was beautiful and it was great to see what Kosovo is really like beyond what is seen in the media. We had a great day and the driver and guide were both flexible with us considering we had a 2 year old baby with us.

Miki put together a great tour for us in the limited time we had. Susanna was our guide. She was amazing . She took us on a four hour walking tour. Daniella drove us to the starting point to maximize our time. Susanna speaks excellent English. She gave us an insight into the history of N.Macedonia. Very passionate about her country. Did not rush us., Very detailed in her explanation. Just like with Naumka in Ohrid, I felt that I learnt a lot and can retrace my steps in the city and be a guide myself. All in all an amazing trip and I strongly recommend Explore Macedonia Tours. Skopje is a beautiful city. Recommend staying near Alexander square which is lively at night and has great restaurants. Hope to go back again and explore the rest of the Balkans

We had a marvelous time with Suzana Sich, our tour guide of the capital city of Macedonia as well as the beautiful canyon called Matka, about 1/2 hour away from Skopje. Suzana was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She spoke excellent English and was a great conversationalist to boot. The weather was not the best during our visit, but we loved seeing the unique architecture in Skopje. The visit to the old town was very interesting as we saw the cobblestone pedestrian streets of the area. The statues of Skopje were also very interesting and there were so many! We absolutely loved visiting Matka canyon and visiting the underground cave. This was the highlight of our visit as the cave was absolutely stunning. We promised ourselves that we would visit Matka again in summer or fall, when the weather is better and we can do some hiking around the area. I would definitely recommend this tour and tour guide!!

I want to thank this company for being able to provide these tour options.
The tours provided are highly interesting and you will learn a lot of knowledge, through the tour guides provided. Special thanks to Suzana, Biljana and Magdalena, who really their specialities of their cities. I could of sat with them for hours to find out even more information!
The driver, Robert, was very accommodating as well. He made sure that I was fine on the drive to both Bitola and Sofia. He has a lot of patience to do that amount of driving! He made the journey comfortable.
Miki is great with communication. He will try and help you out, as much as he can. He is very efficient!
I personally would recommend this tour company while staying in this country.

The tour was really great, thanks to Suzana, the local guide, who was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and willing to answer any question.
Skopje is a nice city, but it is made even more attracting and interesting if properly put in the context of its rich and complicated history (and present), and Suzana was of great help to provide that context.
Time passed too quickly, and I was left afterwards wanting to keep the conversation going!
Totally worth the money, this guided tour made my Skopje experience much more personal and valuable, if I just had gone on my own wandering around the city center I would have lost so many interesting insights provided by Suzana!

Date of travel September 2022. I'm from Melbourne Australia but my background is Macedonian from what is Florina Greece today, Lerin areas Aegean Macedonia.
My guide Suzana had extensive knowledge of the history, facts, traditions & delivered the information with passion.
I was personally particularly interested in the traditional Macedonian folk costumes from various regions. The craftsmanship was incredible. Exquisite designs, luxurious fabrics & unique designs.
The building itself (Museum of Macedonia) where they are kept is run down which is a shame. Do not let that put you off. Definately suggest going to see them in person to appreciate their beauty.
The Museum of Macedonia;
1. The ethnological department, which is the one with the traditional costumes and
2. the permanent exhibition “Macedonian refugees in WWII and civil war in Greece 1940-1949”
Going to this museum was very emotional. Its focus is on the genocide, struggles & oppression of the Macedonians.
It made all the stories that my grandparents had told me growing up in Australia spring to life! Things made sense & I felt proud to be there. The grandchild of people who fled to start a new life in Australia.
Matka Canyon is gorgeous. Clear water with plenty of fish to see. A boat ride on the lake & exploring the Vrelo cave is a must! Plenty of water activities to try out too.
Suzana let me polish up my Macedonian language skills, was helpful & the whole team were friendly/easy to deal with.
I recommend 5 stars. Thank you team. I'll be back in 2023 to try other tours with you.

A friend and I booked the private day tour of Skopje. We were met by our wonderful driver first thing in the morning and given the full package deal throughout the course of the day. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was also extremely flexible with what we wanted to do and see. We had a wonderful time getting to know and understand the city, the country, and the people! We also booked a private ride from Skopje back to Pristina and were again met with complete comfort, flexibility, and freedom to change the scheduled time as we saw fit. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in the Balkans and would love to do another tour with the same group! Thank you Dragan and Suzana for an amazing day! :)
