Dear Travelers, My name is Pece from Bitola. I am a university professor of tourism and hospitality at Bitola State University "St. Kliment Ohridski." In addition to being a professor, I am also a tour guide. I love traveling and exploring different cultures. I am curious and thorough, always striving to learn as much as possible about the areas I visit. Art and history have always been my companions, and I continuously update myself, discovering something exciting every day. If you are looking for a sunny, competent, and cheerful person, I am ready to lead you anywhere. If you want to enjoy your stay in Bitola, North Macedonia, let me arrange your trip. I am an experienced guide with a very positive outlook on life, a good sense of humor, and rich work experience. While in Bitola, you must try Boza, a drink dating back to the Ottoman Empire, and taste Burek, a traditional dish in Bitola also dating back to the Ottoman Empire. My motto is: "Traveling is an elixir for the soul and gymnastics for the brain. Leave the rest to me."
