Grateful to see Ohrid - I was very grateful to have such a personal tour of Ohrid.
In hindsight, i should have stayed in Ohrid for a few nights, but i only had Skopje booked. Fortunately this tour allowed me to visit Ohrid in a convenient manner.
The driver and tour guide were very nice and speak perfect English.

Great tour - Loved the tour. The driver was very friendly and careful while going through the mountains and during the heavy rains. The guide in Ohrid was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and kept the group moving along. Ohrid was beautiful and well worth the day trip.

Great Experience - Alek, Damir, and Maya were amazing! They did a great job of explaining the history of the region, the local area, and providing an ample amount of free time with great recommendations for food and to swim. Lake Ohrid is beautiful and I would highly recommend visiting the area.

Lake Ohrid Macedonian Stunner - Great little day to Ohrid, driver was good and local guide gave lots of info and answered questions, recommended some side add-ons to enhance and have good restaurant recommendations - Interesting town, worth the day trip, the roads there are not great, 3hr each way from Skopje but worth visiting

Great day trip to Ohrid - We had a wonderful day trip to Ohrid with the two guides Alek and Maja. The 2.5 hour journey went much quicker than we thought. Once there, we first went to the fortress and then to the old town of Ohrid. Maja then gave us recommendations for our free time in the city. We can recommend the tour without reservation.

Orhid = great! This tour, Room for improvement - The city of Orhid was amazing! It was great to see the fort, the amphitheater, the churches, we opted for the boat ride as a group, and the little town and options for lunch we’re fantastic! I also really enjoyed the beautiful scenery driving to and from during the 2 1/2 hour ride each way.
The problem with this tour is that while our driver was very nice, the van was older, and the air conditioning was not to the standards that we had expected. The van got very warm, especially on the way back, the driver didn’t offer to open the windows, even though we were expressing that we were very hot and repeatedly asked him to make it cooler. It made it very stuffy. All guest on our tour were starting to become very uncomfortable. Also, the description notes that we would be provided water, and there would be Wi-Fi available. Our driver never offered us water, and when one guest asked about Wi-Fi he had to pull over so he could have her hotspot from his personal phone.

Few worthwhile destinations - quickly completed - the tour not very impressive! - Incorrect information about the tour. Several incorrect pick-up points and no pick-up at least nearby. Although the paths are difficult, little or no attention was paid to all participants.
