5 stars plus for the wonderful day I had on this tour, which was perfectly organized, from the right pace to the secret paths and churches and beautiful corners. What's best is that your plans can be tailorized. I requested some alone time for taking pictures and some shopping for my collection...
5 stars plus for the wonderful day I had on this tour, which was perfectly organized, from the right pace to the secret paths and churches and beautiful corners. What's best is that your plans can be tailorized. I requested some alone time for taking pictures and some shopping for my collection and the guide arranged that for me. He simply waited at the established meeting point and avoided me to go all the way back to the top of the village and picking up the car. Also, I forgot a book in the car and the company had a guy bring it back to me at the hotel the following day. I was positively impressed. Thumbs up for all the insight of the country the guide gave me during the long hours on the road. I learned a lot. Thanks for asking all my questions too!
This tour was fabulous! After a Macedonian friend told me I had to visit Ohrid when visiting Macedonia I booked this one day private tour with a friend.

This tour was fabulous! After a Macedonian friend told me I had to visit Ohrid when visiting Macedonia I booked this one day private tour with a friend.
Our driver/guide was Misho and he was very organised, knowledgable and hospitable. He was flexible to our requests and gave us plenty of time so the day was busy, but a relaxed pace so we could take in the many sights. Upon pick up at our hotel he'd arranged water and cereal bars for our journey ahead, the scenery along the way was impressive as we drove through the countryside.
In Ohrid we visited the lake, saw traditional paper making, bought some pearl jewellery, went to St Sofia Church, Antic Theatre, St Bogorodica Periblepros Church, Smoli's Fortress, St Clement - Plasnik Church, Church of St John at Kaneo, the old Bazaar - Charisma and the 900 year old tree, the day was rounded off with a tasty lunch at a restaurant by the lake.
My friend and I highly recommend the tour and driver/guide Misho

This is a wonderful tour. Ohrid is a beautiful place and full of interesting history. Our guide, Victor, was excellent. Not only was he knowledgeable, he helped us decide how to structure the tour to meet all our interests. We were five adults, three in their 30's and two in their 60's. Everyone was pleased with the trip. We knew little about Macedonia and nothing about Ohrid but came away wishing we could stay much longer or return.

We had a wonderful tour of Lake Ohrid, which went beyond our expectations! Tony, our tour guide, was kind, experienced and super knowledgeable! During the hours on the road, he told us about the story of this beautiful country and shared a lot of interesting information! Ohrid is absolutely stunning and we felt lucky to have had the opportunity to see it. It’s great value for money, a wonderful day that will stay in our hearts for a very long time! The tour is well organised, the timings for activities are just right, and Tony will adapt to your needs and preferences! Would definitely recommend - we will be back and book another tour with the same agency!
