Why travel with Go Macedonia?
...What makes us different?
Local focus
Go Macedonia focuses exclusively on travel within Macedonia delivering unique 'insider' or 'local'
experience that ordinary travel agencies don't offer. Tours combine a variety of excursions and
activities to intimately experience local Macedonian culture that you simply couldn't arrange on your own.
Tours introduce travellers to local traditions, culture, and regional
variations in cuisine. Enjoying the local food and wines is a great experience, and we make it
special by arranging dinners that include regional specialties in our local favourite establishments
where the locals really eat.
Small groups
Go Macedonia is not, and doesn't aspire to be, a high volume travel agent. Rather, we pride ourselves
on providing a very rewarding and highly personal travel experience. Our small groups of a maximum
of 16 travellers ensure an intimate and a personally rewarding journey.
Travelling in small groups allows the participants to get to know one
another and also allows for more flexibility and spontaneity. It's one of the main features
contributing to the enjoyment of our guests. Our small groups are welcomed in establishments
reserved exclusively for local residents that are typically inaccessible to large tour groups.
The size of our groups also gives our guides the opportunity to include historical sites and villages
beyond the defined itinerary. Yes, small-group travel does cost a little more, but it will transform
your enjoyment of the trip.
Some people join our tours with a companion, while others come on
their own. We are well experienced with single travellers, and our tours are often the beginning
of lasting friendships.
Customised tours
We listen to your requests and incorporate them, as much as possible, into the daily schedule,
allowing you to visit additional historical sites outside the finalized itinerary. You also
have the choice of participating in as many or as few activities as you want.
We design travel packages that suit your needs. Just tell us what
you want (town, region, transportation, lodging, dining, sightseeing, activities, excursions,
entertainment, duration, etc.) and we will make it happen!
Client satisfaction
Our policy is to respond to your requirements within 48 hours. All trip prices and departures are
guaranteed once we receive a completed and signed reservation form. Go Macedonia is proud to be
able to provide this safeguard for your travel plans.
We appreciate and listen to all comments we receive about our trips
from our guests. To us, you are not only our clients, but our partners in adventure travel as well,
so it's important to us you are totally exhilarated by your unique travel experience.
Professionalism
Our experienced and motivated staff will make your stay in Macedonia extremely rewarding and unforgettable.
From our phone operators, to the guides in the field, you are in the
hands of some of the most experienced guides in our country. We are always happy to answer all of your
pre-trip questions and will make every effort to insure the chosen expedition is the right one for
you. We regard each and every trip as the travel opportunity of a lifetime, and will do everything
in our power to more than meet your expectations.
Our guides
We evaluate each guide based on his/her professionalism, experience, and personality. All of our guides
are registered with the Tour Guides Association, and are all locals; each an accomplished professional
within their academic fields. They offer informal commentary throughout each trip and will keep you
informed on the local historical, cultural, and religious sights.
Environmental responsibilities
We are totally green, and committed to the principles of sustainable tourism. Through education and
responsible travel ethics we want to help preserve and conserve local resources for the resident
community and future travellers. We work only with programs and guides that share our commitment to this ideal.
Transportation
We use comfortable, air-conditioned buses, minibuses or cars, depending on the size of the group.
All of our drivers are experienced and have excellent driving records. If you have a problem that
restricts movement you should inform us in advance.
Itineraries
Our itineraries are designed to create a balance between travelling, sightseeing, and leisure time.
Each trip has its own highlights. Detailed descriptions of our tours can be found on the tour pages.
