An English-speaking guide will pick you up from the meeting point in Sofia at 9:00AM and, after about a 2-hours drive with various landscapes to admire along the way, you will reach the Serbian border.
After crossing the border you will go the nearby town of Bosilegrad (the former Yugoslavia's main state) before you cross back over the border with Bulgaria and head for Northern Macedonia.
After another short drive, you will arrive at the beautiful Monastery of Osogovo – an incredibly powerful place in the hills from the 12th Century, which was later turned into a mosque by the Ottomans, and then again converted into a church. This place is very scenic and peaceful - take time to go for a walk around the area. Afterwards, you will have lunch in a nice restaurant with good Macedonian grill (meat or fish) and Skopsko beer, of course.
Please note that the total driving time is around 5 hours.

Travelers should know not to reserve on a Sunday this tour. The 1st town was everything close. We couldn't even buy water. There was not a store to buy any souvenirs not even a magnet. No water, I wanted to cry. The tour is a totally fiasco. Then the 2nd Macedonia again everything was close. The Monastery was not worthy visiting. Again I was extremely frustrated that my day was totally ruin. I definitely asking for a refund. It's not worth it to have a private guide when we are the one trying to get all of the info from guide person. Inside the car was extremely hot. The driver although he was nice, not very attentive for a private tour. All he keep saying... you should of not pick up this tour.... Now I know better. Viator has always been one of my favorite travel agency., but they must be very careful who the associate with.

Great short day trip to Serbia and North Macedonia. Our guide Stefan was incredible, lots of stories from Communist Bulgaria towards Democracy. The monastery of Joaquim Osgava is incredible and the lunch is not to be missed.

Amazing day trip. Smooth ride. Knowledgeable guide. Very patient with my family, including 2 young kids. You get to visit 2 countries in this trip. Border crossings very smooth (don’t forget your passports). Overall, great day. This is a must do while in Sofia.

The trip is scenic through forests and mountainous areas. The guide did an excellent job driving and handling the border crossings. The highlights are visiting two countries in one day and the fantastic lunch in a beautiful setting in North Macedonia.

Our transport was prompt and comfortable and Stefan was an excellent guide and driver. Our trip into a Serbian village was very different and we suspected we were probably some of the first tourists there. Lovely countryside all the time and the border checks went smoothly with Stefan's help. Osgovo monastery is a treasure and the locally caught trout and salad at lunch were delicious. It is a lot of time in a vehicle but we didnt mind that and highly recommend the trip. Stefan also recommended a very good restaurant that we visited the next day.
