Fantastic tour with Aleksandra - We are a travel agency in Romania and we had Aleksandra as our tour guide in Ohrid for a group of 45 tourists. Aleksandra made our experience unforgettable, she is an amazing person, kind, caring, professional,well organised, with great knowledge of history, culture and traditions. She took us to best places in Ohrid, making sure we got best out of our trip. She organised for us a lovely boat trip on Ohrid Lake and also, best macedonian floklore evening we could have with delicious food, live music and traditional dancers. She went out of her way and helped us recover some property left behind in the hotel room, making sure it was packaged and sent back to Romania. We strongly recommend Aleksandra,she is probably one of the best guides in Ohrid and in Macedonia! Thank you, Aleksandra! It was a pleasure meeting you, we look forward to seeing you in the near future!

Amazing experience with Alexandra in Ohrid! Everything was perfectly organized, she took us to top spots and gave the be - I had the pleasure of exploring Ohrid with Alexandra as my guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organized, from the meeting point to the carefully planned route. She took us to some of the most beautiful and hidden spots in Ohrid, places we never would have discovered on our own. What makes Alexandra truly special is not just her knowledge, but also her ability to share useful tips along the way. Every piece of advice she gave turned out to be spot-on, whether it was about the best time to visit certain sights, where to enjoy authentic food, or how to make the most of our free time. If you’re visiting Ohrid, I highly recommend trusting Alexandra as your guide. Follow her lead and take her advice—you won’t regret it!

Amazing day - If Ohrid is the pearl of Macedonia, then Alexandra is the sparkle that makes it shine brighter! She talks faster than a radio host (and with the same energy), and somehow manages to mix centuries of history with little jokes that keep everyone laughing. You’ll learn about saints, emperors, and pearls—and then suddenly be giggling about everyday life in Ohrid. She knows every corner of the Old Town, every story behind the stones, and probably every cat on the streets too. By the end of the tour, you don’t just feel like you had a guide—you feel like you made a new friend who loves her city deeply and can’t wait to share it with you. If you want your Ohrid memories to be filled with knowledge and laughter, Alexandra is the one to guide you. 💙
