Top 10 Wine Tours & Tastings in Skopje, Skopje Region

March 6, 2022 Nobuko Falco

After belonging to many empires over time (including Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and most recently Yugoslavian), Macedonia gained its independence in 1991, and Skopje, with about half a million people, is its largest city and capital. Despite its age, the city looks quite modern, owing to a massive 1963 earthquake that destroyed 75% of its buildings. Skopje has long been shared by Christians and Muslims, who still come together at the fascinating Old Bazaar, one of the Balkans' largest markets.

If it were posible to give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I have just completed a 15 day tour covering Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, and Kosovo with the tour company Visit Macedonia. This was an unbelievable experience! I am incredibly satisfied with the quality and professionalism of this company - every day was carefully thought out and well planned. My wishes and preferences were always the priority and Stefan (tour coordinator and guide) was flexible and able to change the itinerary in a moments notice if I expressed interest in something. Stefan paid attention to my interests and was able to make helpful suggestions and help me make the most out of my trip. Stefan and his daughter, Sofija, are both very knowledgeable about the region and were able to give me a fantastic introductory education and answer all of my questions. Traveling is not always easy or comfortable, but Stefan and Sofija made my trip as easy and effortless as possible - I felt like I was so taken care of and in such good hands. I had 15 days full of wonderful experiences and great conversation. If I wanted company, I had company. If I wanted solitude and to explore on my own, I had it. Overall, traveling with Stefan and Sofija was like traveling with friends, not like traveling with strangers. I trusted them fully and we had a lot of fun. I would 100% recommend them to literally anyone who wants to visit this part of the world. No other company will offer you this level of attention and care, I can promise that. I felt totally spoiled and have no regrets about my tour with this company.
