- MAMargaret· April 18th, 2024The Tour Guide Boyan and driver Barek were very professional. Hotels were of a high standard and places we went to were all fantastic. It was my birthday during the trip and he organised a beautiful spot to stop and we all had a small drink of champagne which was lovely. We are still in Skopje leaving on Saturday very interesting city.Show more
