Overview

The history of Skopje starts with the settlements of the Thracians and the establishing the fortress of Scupi. The town was part of the Roman, Byzanatine, Bulgarian and for short notice, of the Serbian countries. The Ottomans will conquer the city in 1392. They will change the name to Uskub and the place will convert into unique of its kind town, which will be called home from numerous Ottomans, Bulgarians and Albanians. In 1912, the city will be liberated from the Ottomans during the First Balkan war and eventually become a part of the Serbian country. During the two world wars will be eventually given to the Bulgarian country, before in the end to became part and a capital of the Macedonian Federation in the Yugoslavian socialistic republic. The city will start growing rapidly in economic and industrial way. Unfortunately a huge earthquake in 1963 has destroyed a huge part of the town, leaving more than 100 000 people without homes.

An amazing experience in North Macedonia

Published on May, 2025

Had an amazing day exploring the wonderful sights. North Macedonia has so much to offer. It was an absolute hidden gem. Our driver/guide for travelling was so informative and the guide we had in North Macedonia was so passionate about Skopje and her country. I would highly recommend ❤️

Great time in one of the youngest countries!

Published on Mar, 2025

The city of Skopje, was alot more than I expected. Full of history, shops, restaurants and bars. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was wrong. Stefan was my driver… what a great guy!

Great company

Published on Jan, 2025

They were very easy to work with. We did the one day trip to North Macedonia. Our driver/guide Georgi was amazing. He was very accommodating, knowable, and friendly.

Great driver and fun tour

Published on Nov, 2024

The driver Philip was great and kept us entertained both with history and stories, while driving safely and on time. It takes about 3.5 hours each way without traffic (so 8-9 hours) so without him we'd be really bored and exhausted. We spent 3.5 hours in Skopje. The tour guide there was OK though she had a tendency to talk too quietly and to start talking before the entire group arrived, which, in a loud city like Skopje meant that we didn't hear much of what she said. Skopje is a nice town with a strong Ottoman influence and worth a visit (though honestly not as nice as say Plovdiv or Sofia in my opinion), and I think this tour company is a great way to do that

Long day

Published on Oct, 2024

The meeting point was hard to find,no number to orient by.They should weight it is next to moskee and opposite Mac Donald.But we had driver Stefan,very good driver,friendly and service minded.Skopje is beautiful town,lots of culture and art.Go for it!But the best is ask for pick up at your hotel.
