About the activity

Born and raised in Skopje, I'm eager to present my city in its best light and in an entertaining way. We'll meet at the Central Square, right at the entrance of the Ristich Palace (as shown in the cover photo), just a short 20 meters from the Fountain. From there, we will explore the Memorial House of Mother Theresa, the Earthquake Museum, the Parliament Building, city center monuments, the Stone Bridge, the Fortress, and the Old Bazaar. Before we begin our tour, we can discuss your preferred options and tailor the experience accordingly.

Knowledgeable guide who delivered the tour with plenty of humour. It was done in a relaxed pace and he made sure that everybody could follow and hear clearly. He also gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions. We recommend with no hesitation.

Fantastic tour with Aleksandar
Scott_L, October 2026
First morning in Skopje and signed up late for Aleksandar’s excellent tour. He showed us all the main sights of the city while also giving us some history of (North) Macedonia, Yugoslavia and the Balkans. Great guy, very funny and perfect English, along with numerous other languages. Highly recommended.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
The honest view of the city, country and changing of your perspective
643nedimb, September 2026
This tour completely changed my perspective on tour guides. The guide is exceptionally knowledgeable—not just about the history of the Balkans, but history and general knowledge across the board. His English is excellent, and he also speaks German. He can even break down the fascinating history of words that ended up in this region, including their Greek, French, Arabic, and Turkish roots. You get a genuinely authentic picture of the city. You can ask him literally anything—whether it's about history, languages, local demographics, or historical migrations—and you’ll get a deep, accurate explanation. What makes the experience even better is his fantastic interaction with the group, along with his healthy, open-minded worldview. On top of that, he gives excellent local tips and points you toward the best spots in town. I highly recommend booking his tour as soon as you arrive in the city!
