Miyak Tribe Trail - North Macedonia

Miyak Tribe Trail

5 star rating   27 July 2025

Anne-Marie who has been on 31 In The Saddle rides. Great time | I rarely go back to the same destination but I enjoyed this so much last year I made a swift return. I was delighted when Vasko remembered who had ridden last year and instantly offered me the same horse ( the very lovely Jafar), and it was an honour and a privilege to have him again. All riders seemed very happy with their matches. At times very fast but always safe and changes of pace were well telegraphed. I went at the same time as last year, but it was much warmer this year with no rain so the water bottles were much needed. It does help to be fit as these are long days, one of the clients struggled a little due to health issues and her own individual programme was adapted to suit

George the chef is fantastic and there is a wonderful variety of dishes on the table at every meal. The hotel at the ski resort has changed but still has a wonderful hot tub.

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

All fine. It was very welcome to be able to contact the company when I learnt the night before that my flight out was going to be delayed and the connection very tight. I repacked even more of my riding clothes into my hand luggage, in the event it was a case of getting off one flight straight onto boarding the next and a delay sitting on the runway meant that all the luggage made it. Flights home were also delayed both at Skopje and then Vienna, the people travelling from France missed their connections which also happened last year.


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

All fine


Do you have any other feedback for us?

This is a beautiful part of the world and this is a great experience. I was lucky enough to be in a lovely group of people again and all staff are so keen to make it the best time you can have. Am pretty sure that I will be going back again.

[In The Saddle, Lucy: I am so glad you enjoyed your holiday in North Macedonia.]
