I had a fantastic tour with Miha! From the beginning he was very friendly and invited us in for a coffee while we waited for everyone to show up. Along the way he shared a lot of insights about his experience in his hometown of Skopje and I really enjoyed the tour. The canyon itself was an obvious highlight along with stopping for food and having the chance to sit next to some old local ladies who shared their cherries with us, it was a nice moment. Ended up back in town with enough time to grab a beer, explore the fort and have dinner. Thanks again, highly recommend this tour!
