My name is Bojan, but people all call me Rante, so you can too. I'm a professional guide that would love to provide you with adventurous experiences, blended with magical nature landscapes, hidden cultural sites, and tasty local cuisine. Being a graduated forestry engineer, and an MSc in rural development - anthropology and sociology of the rural, I am the person to show you the world beyond the cities in Macedonia. My passion is bicycles and photography. So I can gladly take you on a bike tour to see and experience unique places. It is good to mention that my professionally related interests are protected areas, sacred natural sites, old trees, and places (what kind of meanings people associate to a place). Therefore I can show you the local's side of a place. Skopje is the town where I live, though I've been to every hidden place in Macedonia. I love Macedonia for its nature, and for its traditional cuisine. It is a place where you can experience something different (a landscape, people, culture) on every few steps you make; where villagers will not let you go without having a drink together; where food is whole ceremony of tastes and love. I am at your availability to make your visit and experience of Macedonia personal, unique and memorable.

I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Learn about the history of Skopje, and experience the central area of the city in a way that fits your needs, preferences and interests. See the highlights, or dive deep into the hidden subcultures. Walk, see, taste, smell or have a go at some activity that the locals do, it is all up to you to say what you want or feel like doing.
This tour was just as planned. Bojan went above and beyond to make sure my mom’s wheelchair would be safe during the walking. He took us to many great places and knew so much history. He was kind and caring and a great representative for the people of Macedonia. Would recommend!
Rante is an excellent guide — exceptionally knowledgeable about the city, its buildings, history, and the wider region. He paid great attention to our interests to personalise the tour and even arranged access to a site that is normally closed on Sundays. He also has a wonderful way of leading a group, ensuring everything runs smoothly and that even children stay engaged throughout.
We had a fantastic 6-hour tour of Skopje with Rante. The communication beforehand was already a positive aspect of working with him. He asked about individual interests, what else the group liked to do, why we were in Macedonia, and adapted the tour pretty much exactly to these requirements. The professional work then continued in the preparation after booking and it was really great to see how committed he is to the cause. The tour itself was also fantastic. Rante is a fountain of facts and information, not just about Skopje and Macedonia, but about pretty much everything going on in the Balkans. We saw amazing places in Skopje that we wouldn't have understood without his information, as this city is very strange at times. I would recommend Rante as a city guide to anyone at any time!
