Send this to whoever is planning: 5 half-day tours, each with what it costs, what travellers said afterwards and the thing to check before you commit.
A 4-hour private walk through Skopje’s new center and Old Bazaar, with Mother Teresa, markets, mosques, and fortress views.
“My guiide Jarko was passionate about his city and his country- he shared unique insights of the. Ountry with me”
Private 4-hour Skopje walk through Old Bazaar, Kale Fortress, and Macedonia Square, with hotel pickup and an English guide.
“We had a private tour in English with Kate. She was absolutely a delight and explained everything to us. I would highly recommend taking the private walking tour. It was so much fun and I feel we saw everything downtown Skopje had to offer.”
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.”
Half-day Stobi wine tour from Skopje with a winery visit, tasting four wines, and a Macedonian lunch, plus hotel pickup.
“Stobi was closed, so we went to the Sopot winery instead. A smaller winery with a great terrasse overlooking the vineyard. Both our driver and our guide at the winery were friendly and answered all our questions about wine and North- Macedonia.”
Private Skopje to Tirana transfer with a guided half-day Ohrid walk, plus cliff-top St. Jovan and optional lake boat views.
“We had a fantastic time on this drive/tour. Our driver was personable and a very skilled escort. Naumka gave us a wonderful tour of Ohrid, going out of her way to give us a memorable experience. She took us off the beaten path for beautiful views, and even arranged for a small boat to take us directly to our lunch stop. I would recommend this activity to anyone!”
Every kind of day between the capital and the lake.
