I had a great experience with this tour from the very beginning. Even before the tour started, Philip from the agency was extremely helpful – he answered my questions on WhatsApp, shared all the necessary information and booking links, and even let me know when a spot became available on another tour I was interested in. The Matka Canyon tour itself was very well organized and comfortable. Our group was relatively small (around 16 people), which made the experience much more enjoyable compared to the large buses with 40–50 tourists that some other travelers mentioned. Our guide Jimmy was fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable, and very engaging. He shared interesting stories and made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Matka Canyon is absolutely beautiful, and this tour is a great option if you want to see a lot in a short time without the stress of organizing transportation yourself. Highly recommended!

We were very professionally taken care of by a very friendly and efficient guide, Elena, together with the driver of a new and comfortable van.

I booked this tour as I had a good experience with the same company previously on my trip. This was another excellent day. Our tour guide, Damir, had led the previous trip, and recognised me on arrival. Damir is a fountain of information about the area, and has an engaging style. We stopped at a vantage point overlooking the city before continuing. Our tour included a stop at Saint Pantaleon’s Church, an amazing Byzantine church. Matka Canyon is beautiful and the boat trip to the Vrelo cave was excellent. Damir called ahead when we were nearby so we went straight from our vehicle to the waiting boat, and then to the caves, with time for a stop off in the cafe on the way out for coffee. I was pleasantly surprised at how big - and how good! - the desserts were! Damir showed us around the city a little before dropping us off so we could orientate ourselves and find bars, restaurants, shops, museums etc. Brilliant day

I recently did the Canyon Matka Tour from Skopje and it was one of the most memorable day trips during my visit to Macedonia! This tour strikes a perfect balance of nature, culture, and adventure — ideal if you want to explore beyond the city center. The tour guide was very knowledgeable on the area and super helpful. I definitely recommend doing this tour 👌

We loved this tour from start to finish. The pickup and drop-off was in two different places but very easy to access. The scenery was superb, the organization impeccable, and each step allowed us to discover a little more the richness of the region. The cable car climb to the Milenium Cross is included in the price. A huge thank you to Nicola, who made this day really great. His kindness, passion, humour and the quality of his explanations made the visit an informative, pleasant and very human moment. We particularly enjoyed our exchanges with him: authentic, simple and warm. Everything was perfectly rhythmic, stress-free, always with the impression of being accompanied by someone who deeply loves his country and knows how to share it. In short: an exceptional experience that we recommend without hesitation. Thanks again to Nicola for a wonderful day.

Amazing experience with a well informed guide. Very well organised and well run. Very good value for money and worth adding in the boat trip when you get to the canyon (take cash as cards aren't accepted) - the boat and cave is about £8 per person and lasts an hour.
