By this day trip, you will visit two of the most important sites of Northern Macedonia – its Capital Skopje, and one of the breathtaking natural wonders – Matka Canyon.

While exploring the old part of Skopje with its authentic sites, we will dive into the past and get to know the modern understanding of the history that the Macedonians have while walking in the new part of the city, rebuilt during the “Skopje 2014” project. In the end, we will take a break from all the history and new facts and rest our minds in the heavenly nature of Matka Canyon.

Skopje

Your day begins with a morning pick-up from your centrally located hotel in Sofia. During the scenic four-hour drive to Skopje, your Bulgarian guide will provide fascinating stories and historical context about the Balkans, giving you a deeper appreciation for the region. Upon arrival in Skopje, a local guide from the city will lead you on a 90-minute walking tour, enriching the experience with personal insights and in-depth knowledge of this unique capital. You’ll explore the charming Old Bazaar, filled with Ottoman architecture and vibrant local life, then continue to the Skopje Fortress for sweeping city views. From there, you’ll cross the historic Stone Bridge into the heart of the city, where Alexander the Great Square showcases a bold blend of past and present. The tour ends with a visit to the Memorial House of Mother Teresa, honoring Skopje’s most revered figure. This will be a full and dynamic day with no free time in Skopje, so come prepared for an engaging and memorable trip

Matka Canyon

Unfortunately, the itinerary will not allow you to have free time for lunch in Skopje. It is good to take some fast food during the walking tour or bring some sandwiches with you. You can buy it from a petrol station before arriving in the city. After the walking tour, your local guide will drive you to Matka Canyon, where you will have approximately an hour and a half to admire the beauty of nature. You will have a boat trip inside the canyon, you will pass by probably the deepest underwater cave in the world. After that, at 16:00, you will meet with the rest of the group and depart back to Sofia. During driving, you will be able to discuss your impressions and ask all your questions.

    The drive to and from Skopje was around 3 hours each way. Since we are leaving one country and entering another , we have to go through passport control both directions. As soon as we arrived, we were transferred to our Macedonian guide. Matka Canyon was first on the agenda. The canyon was so beautiful. It was not crowded and the weather was perfect. We opted for a 30 min instead of 1 hour boat ride so we can have enough time to visit the city. Skopje is a beautiful place with lots of statues, open spaces, restaurants and shopping areas. Our guides, both in Bulgaria and North Macedonia, provided us with historical and current information of their respective countries. This was a day well spent. Just make sure to pack some snacks to eat on the road as there won’t be any time for a sit down lunch. This was not a problem for us as we were prepared. We enjoyed our sightseeing and so glad to visit both nature and city in one trip.

  • Great taste - set expectations because it is truly a taste

    What a great way to get a taste of North Macedonia. If I were to do it again I probably would forgo the lake. While it was nice to experience what locals do on their time off/outings with family- I would have preferred to spend more time learning about and exploring the city. The city is an interesting mix of cultures and operates almost like two different cities. There is a lot to learn about the place and the people. The local guide was matter of fact about the life there and I appreciated her honesty that was without judgment. She was great! The driver stopped as needed and took good care of us. Just be prepared because it will feel rushed. Buy the magnet or other souvenirs when you see them because you will lokely not have an opportunity to buy later. But, if your expectations are established properly, you will enjoy the taste. Try to grab something to eat from the city (unless you bring something or buy something at one of the stops - limited variety). The food at the restaurant at the lake is expensive and does not offer a huge variety (and you have to eat it in the van unless you the boat ride).

  • a day in Northern Makedonia

    It is a long drive from Sofia to Skopje and back (4 hours each direktion). Theodor was an excellence driver and told us a lot about the North- Makedonian country. Our guide in Skopje was not very empathic. He hurried up and we had minimal time for the single sightseeing views. The Matka river was impressing, but there was a 1,5km walk in each direction from the car to the boat. This part of the day lasts nearly 2 hours and so it is not enough time for sightseeing in the city. In summary it was very interesting and worth a journey.

    Very nice trip, the hotel pickup worked smoothly, the 3h drive was very entertaining, there were also stops. In Skopje I was picked up by another guide and taken to Matka Canyon. I chased away a 1 hour boat trip including a visit to a cave. Afterwards I was driven back to Skopje in the city centre, where a tour guide waited for me and took me on a guided city tour. After some free time I met our driver at the agreed meeting point. Everything very well organized. Only point deduction due to the driver's fast driving style.

    I do recommend visiting Skopje and especially the beautiful Matka canyon, but the tour was very rushed and we only had 45 mins in Skopje itself despite it having been advertised as longer. In fact, visiting Matka proved to be a tour within a tour and my daughter.and I were the only ones to go to Matka with our guide. Both guides were great though, and Macedonia is a wonderful country which I would like to visit for longer. But the overall schedule of this trip needs to be improved.

    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.

  • Fantastic experience

    I recommend this very interesting excursion with exciting and passionate guides! It is possible to only visit Skopje but the visit to the Mayka canyon is worth the detour. I highly recommend it.
