    Great tour with friendly guide

    Great tour with a very friendly guide and drivers. The guide is very friendly and does everything he can to make sure you enjoy the trip. There are additional costs on this trip (boat trip and church admission) however these were explained to us beforehand so we were well aware. The tour started at 9:30 and finished around 3pm. We had brunch and wine in a lovely picnic area where the guide talked about the history of North Macedonia and his love for his home town If looking for a day trip in Skopje and to visit the Canyon Matka I would strongly recommend this tour.

    A fantastic day out in the countryside

    Fantastic day out in lovely scenic locations! Canyon Matka is very beautiful. Nice to be out in the fresh air & the countryside & see a different side of Skopje. Excellent tour guide (Miha) who explained a lot about Macedonian history & life today. Comfortable new aircon van to travel in. Lovely driver who doubled as a butler during our picnic stop.

    Great trip!

    Our guide was very friendly, passionate and informative which made for a really enjoyable trip. It was a good length and the sights were obviously beautiful! The tour doesn’t go up to the millennium cross anymore as the chair lift isn’t it use but we still went up to a spot with panoramic views of Skopje

    How much does Skopje: Canyon Matka, St. Pantelemon, Millennium Cross & Brunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Skopje usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Skopje: Canyon Matka, St. Pantelemon, Millennium Cross & Brunch take?

    +

    Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Skopje and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    When is the best time to visit Skopje?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Skopje?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
