“Great tour experience in Ohrid! Filip knew a lot both about the sights we were seeing and North Macedonia/Ohrid generally. I did the morning tour and because of that it meant we saw everything whilst the day was at its best and most other groups hadn’t started yet. The 360 degree camera a fantastic touch as well which added to the experience. One of my favourite parts was the walks up to and back from Samuel’s fortress! Felt like I was on a hike with a local, was great. The attractions were all great and the conversations with locals too were spot on. Well worth the money, recommend 100%!”

5.Ohrid Half-Day City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 14 reviews · 4 hours · from $106

A 4-hour private Ohrid tour focused on major Christian sites, lake views, and a calm walking pace, with a knowledgeable guide.

“During our recent half day city tour of Ohrid, the guide showcased good knowledge, and provided valuable insights into various landmarks. However, the constant use of terms like "sweetie" to address me, created an unwarranted sense of informality. It’s essential to maintain a professional tone especially in a client-facing role like a tour guide, which definitely contributes to a more positive impression. While we are aware, that being a private tour we could skip monuments/activity etc., there was clearly a lack of enthusiasm in encouraging exploration of certain sites, missing the chance to convey their significance to tourists who might not initially see their importance.”
