Registered on June 11, 2021

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.

I'm not Your average Tour Guide, no sugarcoating with me because "Honesty is the best policy".
We start at Central Square, stroll down Macedonia street to the old railway station where the earthquake museum is. Then, we cross the Vardar river and visit places in the Old Bazaar and climb mildly to the Fortress for a beautiful Vista of the City.

We left the tour in such an amazing mood, feeling inspired and cheerful! Aleksandar was incredibly knowledgeable and he delivered facts in a manner which was exciting and engaging: we were never bored. We learnt a lot and we laughed a lot. He is a very inspiring individual and we felt so lucky to have the opportunity to talk to him about Skopje’s history and its relation to the wider world. We found his positive outlook on life similarly inspiring; his wisdom left us three students incredibly motivated, with much to think about. Thank you Aleksandar! You are an individual who we will not forget.

Aleksandar was a great tour guide. He was very informative about both the past and present Skopje. He was extremely professional. There were supposed to be anorher party who had booked onto the tour and he waited patiently for them to arrive and tried to get in touch with them in multiple ways before setting off. We did not mind waiting in the shade to see if they would arrive as Alaksander was very approachable. We enjoyed Aleksandar's perspective of the city and his positivity. Highly recommend!
