Don't miss this tour - We had the best day with our guide Alex. He was very kind and sensitive to what our group wanted to do. Was very flexible when we wanted more time at the fortress. He suggested a boat ride which was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed the calm ride. Alex was very knowledgeable about Ohrid and showed us the best sights and gave us nice recommendations on where to eat lunch, etc.

Ohrid day trip from Skopje - Alek was a great, easygoing guide and a skilled driver. The weather was perfect, making the scenic drive even more enjoyable.
He enriched the journey with interesting facts about Macedonia and answered all our questions. The fresh apples along the way were a delicious treat.
Ohrid is a beautiful city full of history, and a boat trip on the lake is definitely worth it—even in winter!
As a bonus, we also got to visit Bitola—thank you for that!

Do not hesitate to book! - This was such an enjoyable day trip from Skopje to Ohrid. The drive through the winding mountain roads is breathtaking. Ohrid old town is stunning and peaceful (in February!). The guide Oliver was easy to talk to, fun and very knowledgeable. Was a thoroughly wonderful day and I can’t recommend it enough 😊
