Great experience, knowledgeable guide, great ebikes - We had a fantastic time cycling around, exploring Macedonian mountains. Dean is such a wonderful guide, gave us a lot of tips what to see and try in Macedonia. Ride was super beautiful, very remote and wild side of Macedonia. Recommend. Make sure you mark 4h in your agenda, no reason to rush over.

Very Picturesque - We visited the matka canyon and took a ride to the caves by boat. Its a one hour ride to and fro including the time spent in the caves. The temperature in the caves was quite low at almost 12 degrees as compared to the temperature outside at 35 degrees. the scenary on both sides of the river was very really serene and we couldnt stop taking pictures
