Amazing trip! Tour guide Damir had great energy, was very talkative and respectful. My friend and I are Muslim, we mentioned to Damir and he took us to lunch to find a food we wanted to try that was halal! He also gave us great recommendations in our area for our trip. The makta canyon was beautiful!

Damir was an amazing guide. You could really feel his passion about his home country. He explained us so many things and told us a lot of personal stories that you could never hear elsewise. Highly recommendable!

Damir was a great guide. As well as being well-informed about the sights and places we visited he was able to tell us a bit about life in Macedonia. We were a small group of three so went by car and were able to stop for burek for breakfast. Unfortunately the cable car was broken down so we were unable to go to the top of Vodna. St Panteleimon church was very peaceful. The gorge was great, very scenic. Don't expect modern safety features - no lifejackets on the boat and the boat's pilot seemed to enjoy flicking the tiller to rock the boat to impress teen girls rather than considering everybody on the boat. The guide rail in the cave has no grip when wet (very common in caves) and the steps can be slippery.
