It was an enjoyable trip. The driver was a good professional, friendly with everybody, and trying to help everybody, in the group.

This is a reasonable trip. Beware that the boat trip costs denar 500 each and they don’t take cards. The guide was fine, knowledgeable. The trip ran from 9am to 3pm without any stop for lunch. We had 30 mins at the canyon but the guide warned that wasn’t enough time to get food. Toilets are scarce and cost denar 60 each, with no change, at the canyon. Could be planned a bit better and more consideration for logistics, but it was OK.

A very informative excursion. Our tour guide Damir taught us a lot about Skopje and all its facets and was able to answer every question. The whole trip was very well organized and was carried out in a small group. We were on the road for almost 6 hours and experienced a lot, if we are in Skopje again we would definitely book it again.

We took a taxi to the canyon, and the driver waited a couple of hours to take us back. The canyon is about 30 mins from the centre of Skopje by car. Once you arrive, there is about a 10 minute walk to the entrance of the canyon, with plenty of ice cream, drink, and food available whilst you walk there. We followed the walkway to the second tour company, as they did the cave visit, too. You need cash (500 mkd per person) to pay for the trip - no card payments accepted. This includes a 30-minute boat trip down the canyon, with a 15-minute stop to visit the cave and then the return boat journey. The scenery is stunning, and this trip is worth every penny.

Great day exploring the natural sites around Skopje. Matka canyon is beautiful and peaceful, without the hundreds of tourists that you would encounter in similar locations in Europe. Great for canoeing as the waters are calm and also great for swimming (make sure to bring simmers) Our tour guide Oliver was the best!! Super knowledgeable and helpful to each person that was on the tour.

Great guide . Very welcoming and honest about everything what's happening around the country and Skopje. Would recommend this tour for everyone who is in Skopje.

Excellent tour, very friendly and knowlegeable guide. Visited Matka canyon and Millwnnium crooss, highly recommended.

Amazing tour guide, he does his work with honest passion. He tells a lot of history of the city while driving. Comfortable van, wonderfull lake, nice pitstops! Excellent experience …

The guide was fantastic, he explained a lot of things about the country, the city and the canyon Matka. Really worth it. Totally recommend.

This was a great tour with a personal touch from Demir. Several destinations with time to enjoy each part. Highly recommend

The driver and guide were very professional and knowledgeable. The boat ride on the lake to the caves was great on a hot summer day.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a lot of interesting things to tell us about the places we visited, as well as general information and history about North Macedonia. Matka canyon was a beautiful place and I wish we could have spent more time there. The little church of Saint Panteleimon was also a great stop! The bus on the way to the canyon had a problem with the A/C, so they changed busses while we visited the canyon. Unfortunately the second bus had the same problem. As it was Monday, the cable car up to the cross was closed, so we stopped at a viewpoint instead. This would’ve been fine if there actually was a view to be seen, but the place was overgrown by trees and bushes. This stop could’ve been skipped to give us more time at the canyon. All in all I recommend this tour if you don’t have a lot of time in Skopje and you don’t want to drive or arrange your trip to the canyon yourself.

Great little tour! The canyon is beautiful, worth a visit when visiting Skopje!! Tour guide was helpful and kind. Bus has aircon. Trip lasted longer than the time stated, so keep in mind if you are sticking to a timetable. Didn’t bother me though! Only thing is we wasn’t allowed to use the toilet on the coach and you have to pay to use the toilet everywhere!! Not good if your British like me drinking loads of water due to it being 25degrees! Would have got five stars if toilet facilities were available on the coach.

If you're like me, a typical westerner who has been fed the idea that Balkan countries are depressing and only full of communist architecture, then I'd recommend taking this tour. It'll change your whole view completely. This short half-day tour allowed me and my wife to experience the beauty of Macedonia, not more than 30 minutes from the capital. And though we had managed to go on a rather rainy day, it's beauty was not obscured in the slightest, in fact, it only enhanced it if that's even possible. It is a must-do if visiting Skopje, no doubt. Our tour guide, Maty, was great and did his best to ensure we all enjoyed the tour, and was very insightful on the historty of Skopje as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Only 2 stars because the driver/guide was really nice and would deserve 5 stars but the company is dodgy. They contacted me through an unknown WhatsApp number the night before the tour (after 10pm) that the tour won't go ahead at 9am but 1pm instead. No reason or explanation was offered. The guide showed up with a quite dirty and rather old minibus which didn't indicate that it belongs to any tour company. Fees for cable car, church or boat tour are not included, cash is needed to pay for them. There is no hike. Description of the tour is misleading. Guide was good but company totally unreliable and extremely bad in communicating. I wish I would have read the other reviews before booking.
