(41 reviews)

My name is Aleksandra. I am an art historian and archaeologist, and I am very passionate about the history and culture of my hometown, Skopje. On my tour, you will find plenty of information spanning from the oldest traces of life in Skopje to the present day, filled with fascinating details about archaeology, old architecture, and history, all wrapped in very interesting stories.

As a fifth-generation Skopyan, feel very passionate about my City and would like to present it to the foreign visitors, in the best way possible. I possess extensive and in-depth knowledge about the culture, tradition and the history of Skopje, its places, people, buildings etc., which want to share with our guests and leave a good impression in order to give them a reason to come back again. Have traveled quite a bit and the idea for this Activity came during my stay in Santiago de Chile where I worked and lived.
