Beautiful Lake Ohrid - Riegels was fun and knowledgeable. It rained and we did not care to walk in the mud to the amphitheater. Instead Riegels negotiated a boat excursion for us and though it was cold, it was beautiful.

Day trip from Albania - Gazi was a perfect guide, informative, spoke great English, took time to check our pick up location in advance and turned up on time to the minute. Ohrid itself is stunningly beautiful and you get a guided tour of the UNESCO world heritage old town and heritage buildings. Delicious lunch, coffee stops, gorgeous views of snow topped mountains and crystal clear water. Depending on your nationality, be aware that e-visas and residency status, rather than nationality may not be accepted for the border crossing. One poor lady on our trip was refused entry (not because of any fault of the tour operators), so please double check if you need any additional paperwork.

A great trip - This company is very professional unlike the one we booked the previous day. Gazi, our guide was amazing. He was kind and very friendly and took great care of us. This was my first trip to the Balkans, and we picked the right company. The drive was pleasant, and we saw lots of historic churches and had a decent lunch. If you book this tour company you will not be disappointed. It was a great trip and a great day out. We'll done and thank you Gazia great trip

Beautiful Ohrid, Absent Struga, Average tour - Late in the evening 11/17, I was told that my tour for the next day was cancelled and was asked to move my tour to 11/19 which threw the rest of my plans off. But I did so because I wanted to go see this area. I was told that there wasn't space on any of the company's tours on this open day that I now had. While tour guide Marsuel was a nice, young 21 yo man, he smokes at each stop and while walking so the scent of smoke remains on him. Yes, he drives fast as Lincoln S. said (we were on the same tour) but I learned that many Albanians drive like crazy people during my time in the country. My tour did not stop in Struga as it advertises, and I was disappointed. Why was this not offered on the day I went? Yet my price was not reduced. We did not go into the advertised mosque either. Marsuel said that we could go into the mosque that was near our lunch stop if we wanted to during our free time !?! At the St. John Cathedral I had to tell the tour guide that the entrance fee was included per the information from the tour company because he said that we had to pay to go inside, and then he paid it. Lunch was delicious at a local Albanian restaurant. Ohrid is a beautiful city to visit. I'll take the words of others that Struga is also beautiful.

North Macedonia was Beautiful, Driver was unsafe - we hit something twice and almost killed a dog - North Macedonia is beautiful and the lunch was beautiful and included! The driver Marsuel was a little crazy - he's 21 and drove into a parking curb, almost hit a big dog and bumped into a motorcycle all in one day. He told me and the other guest every 3 days he gets pulled over by the police and needs to negotiate to not have to pay. Please find another driver for these tours, he was constantly smoking in my face, I wanted to give a better review, but the best I can say is that this was a below average to average tour. It was not a bad tour but it was uncomfortable about 5x times throughout the tour. I am a seasoned world traveler and it takes a lot to upset me. Please slow down Marsuel and you will get better reviews. Also please arrive at the meeting points when you say you will, after lunch we had free time and were told to meet at 2:50pm, I waited until 3:03pm and the driver and other guest finally met up with me at the meeting point, that was so uncomfortable not knowing if they left or if something happened to them. North Macedonia is worth it, but I won't be booking again with Albanian local tours, the other tour guest also mentioned her booking was moved to my booking date so they would have at least two guests, book if you want, but it might get moved if you are the only guest. Sorry not sorry.
