A day that didn’t go as planned, but turned out great! - We booked a day trip to Ohrid from Tirana. Unfortunately, we couldn’t cross the border into North Macedonia because UK e-visas/ D visa (resident permit) aren’t accepted anymore (only Type-C visas) are allowed now. Our guide Anjeza was absolutely helpful. She did everything she could to help us at the border. Since we couldn’t cross, she arranged a cab for us so we could still explore the Albanian side of Lake Ohrid. On her way back, she picked us up. She really made the best of the situation and made the day a lot more enjoyable than it could’ve been.

Great day trip from Albania to North Macedonia - Gazi, our tour guide, was very punctual and gave us a lot of facts about the history of Albania and North Macedonia. North Macedonia is a beautiful country, would’ve loved to stay there longer. Albeit the tour was great and I would definitely recommend

It was a very good... - It was a very good experience getting to know Ohrid from a very personal perspective. Maybe in the future more time will be needed to see more of the community. All in all it was a truly nice experience

Long Travel Time, Rushed Experience - The tour was okay, but there’s definitely room for improvement. One major issue was the logistics - picking up each participant from their hotel significantly reduced the time we had to actually enjoy the destination. Although I got in the car around 7 a.m., we didn’t arrive in Ohrid until after 1 p.m., turning what should’ve been a 2-ish hour drive into a 6-hour journey. As a result, our time at the lake felt rushed. Instead of getting the chance to relax or even go on a boat ride, we just walked by before heading back. It felt like we missed out on the main experience. The guide was friendly, which I appreciated, but it was clear they were relatively inexperienced - especially with the location.

Avoid at all cost - As an experienced traveler (40+ countries), this Ohrid tour was an absolute disaster. Key issues: Last-minute schedule change (missed breakfast), failure to visit advertised attractions (fortress closed, dangerous church route), reckless disregard for safety (no lunch in 30C+ heat until a friend nearly collapsed), chronic vehicle breakdowns (van overheating, massive delays), zero guiding/commentary, and dropped off 4 hours late with no communication. This tour was unsafe, poorly executed, and offered no value.

We got cancelled and they upped the price - We didn’t get to go . They cancelled me 11pm the night before as I had bought a deal . When we looked - the tickets were back on sale at £50 each and the trip appeared to be going ahead . The seats were still bookable . I was refunded a few days later . What a disappointment.

Untrustworthy company - avoid - Tour was cancelled at 11pm the night before. When I went to rebook, I saw the tour was still running but the price had now DOUBLED for the next day. I was supposed to be staying in Macedonia overnight, ended up losing the money on booked hotel and had to rearrange all of my travel plans. Disgusting tour operation.
