Unser Spaziergang durch Skopje hat und sehr gefallen. Vojislav hat viel über das Leben der Menschen und die Geschichte des Landes zu erzählen . Wir fühlten uns mitgenommen auf eine sehr persönliche Art und haben die Zeit sehr genießen können . Mir vielen weiteren Tipps ausgestattet haben wir auch noch so manch andere Ecke von Skopje kennengelernt. Vielen Dank.Schöner Rundgang

I highly recommend a city tour with Vojislav in Skopje as you can learn many details about history and the normal life in a buzzling city. We have been on a perfect stroll along the river, the new and the old part of Skopje. So many things to explore with a guide that loves and lives his country. I am sure that we will return to Skopje and looking forward to meet Vojislav again for some more interesting tours! Amazing tour through an exciting city

I myself work for withlocals and wanted to test out withlocals as a tourist.Mihalj was a great decision through and through.A fully certified historian and tourguide, as well as museum curator, he was very knowlegable and gave me a deep overview of Macedonian and Skopje's history and more. He walked me through all the little corners and painted a rich story as we went along.He gave me different perspectives as well as a lense of the place as seen by a local.He helped me find my grounding and feel at home in Skopje.Highly recommend :)Certified withlocals pro

Because of another event we asked Miahlj to meet us us later in the day. He willingly accommodated our request. Thank you! This was a different food tour thsn we'd ever been on, and we have done many. We really felt like Miahlj wanted to give us a true local experience not just show us the "prettiest or fanciest spots" . We also appreciated that he shared his view of the Skopje. The food was all good and I reccomend this tour but the opportunity to learn about the city from a life long residents perspective was great. Take the tour if you have a chance Great tour

Vojislav was an excellent tour guide. He brought me all around Macedonia Square and the Old Town, and showed me both the must-see places and hidden spots. He’s a teacher by profession and he spoke good English and German. I got to meet some of the nicest people in Skopje including his friends and the oldest barber in the area. He let me try the local beer, coffee and food in his favorite local cafes/restaurants, and recommended other places to drink and eat, too. He brought me to the local market and I was able to buy fresh fruits and spices, especially their own paprika — a must-have. He’s a good photographer, and I have already posted some of my pictures which he beautifully took in my social media accounts. I highly recommend him to anyone who’s planning to visit Skopje, and experience its rich history, cuisine and culture. Fantastic Skopje Tour with Vojislav
