Worth it!! - We had an excellent trip to Sofia from Skopje. Our driver picked us up right on time, was friendly, and safely drove us the three and a half hours to Sofia.
We picked up our guide in Sofia and had a lovely walking tour. We saw beautiful churches, government buildings, the changing of the guards and natural spring fountains. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke excellent English. A highlight for us was a stop at a mountain monastery on the way back. I would highly recommend this day trip!

Sofia is amazing - While we were in Skopje, we took a chance and booked a trip to Sofia, and we did not regret it at all. We liked Sofia very much. Daniel was an excellent guide; he took us around the very interesting city attractions, from antiquity and medieval times. Vitosha Street was an excellent choice for lunch and drink. Thanks to Toni too, for being a careful driver.
