BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Distances are short, the standing is long
Two or three hours mostly on your feet on hard ground. Comfortable shoes matter more than fitness.
The route is public space
Markets, lanes and places of worship are where people live and pray. Ask before photographing anyone and cover up where others do.
Cash for the small things
Tea, a fritter, an entry ticket. Card acceptance in old quarters is patchy at best.
Ask what the group size will be
A walking tour of six and one of thirty are different products at the same price. It is a fair question.

Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Worth every rupee.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.

Ohrid & Skopje done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Worth every rupee.

Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Worth every rupee.
