Guided tours Skopje

This agency offers tours and excursions by electric bicycle. It's well done with an English-speaking guide, but rather expensive: from 8,600 MKD/person (€140). The downtown tour (2h-2h30) includes visits to Stara Čaršija, Skopje Fortress and the Mother Teresa Memorial House. In the surrounding area, tours are organized to Mount Vodno (3h30-4h) and Matka Canyon (4h-5h). Multi-day excursions are also available to Ohrid and Prespa lakes and the country's four national parks.

This association (Здружението за Туристички Водичи и Придружници на Македонија/Združenieto za Turistički Vodiči i Pridružnici na Makedonija) brings together certified professional guides offering tours in North Macedonia. But it's not very responsive and its website needs updating (list of guides inaccessible, no rates displayed). Allow around 3,700/6,100 MKD (60/100 €) for a guided tour of Skopje for 1-4 people.

This agency is an offshoot of the Haemus association (haemus.org.mk), which brings together historians, anthropologists and archaeologists. They lead tours throughout the country.
