Ohrid magic! - Date of travel September 2022. The last time I went to Ohrid was 10 years ago so I didn't remember much. I'm from Melbourne Australia but my background is Macedonian from Greece Aegean Macedonia. It was fun to see so many new sites and I had forgotten most of them anyway. The tour guide Lide bought new life to my old memories! She had so much information about the history, religion, food & traditions that I felt like I was at home. Danche the driver was an expert navigating the roads. Especially when facing challenging Balkan driving conditions and unexpected detours. They even helped me organise transfers to other cities via Miki the main contact. They are friendly & happy to help anybody. I recommend 5 stars. Thank you team. I'll be back in 2023 to do more tours with you. Christine Karafillis

5 stars - Wow! What a tour. Firstly Dragen our driver was lovely and very punctual. We were caught in heavy traffic coming back from Ohrid on Sunday evening and he was so friendly and didn't complain at all even though we got back quite late. Secondly Naumka if you get her as your tour guide well you're in luck. Not only is she full of so much knowledge but she is so lovely and knows literally everyone in Ohrid. Thank you for spending your time with us and showing us your hometown. And lastly Ohrid and St Naum!! What stunning places to visit. Macedonia is such a beautiful country and I'm so glad we made the choice to go down and visit outside of Skopje. Well worth it! So many people told us it's not long enough to just go down for the day and while yes if you have time it would be awesome to stay longer but this tour covers so much in one day and I'm so glad we went.

A special day in Ohrid - My tour guide Naumka was the highlight. A native of Ohrid, you have the pleasure of seeing the city through her eyes with all its little secrets. Naumka is full of energy and passion for her home town, rain or shine … and we had both! I had an interest in the churches, particularly the frescoes, Naumka and I spent all the time I wanted talking through the details and the history - and she knows her frescoes! (For those interested in art - these churches are a MUST). More impressive, her command of 13 languages! Roberto, the driver, was a pleasure, and most importantly a confident, excellent driver as he took us back to Skopje in a rainstorm, thank you both for great memories of Ohrid!!
