“Very nice tour, comfortable bus (very important since the drive is long), Ohrid is amazing, and the guide there was very informative. Highly recommended”
Tirana and Durres to Ohrid and St Naum in North Macedonia, UNESCO old town sights, Bay of Bones, plus time to swim.
“Chris our guide was prompt in picking us up. He had a great sense of humour, was very informative & was a careful driver. We saw a lot & particularly enjoyed our time in Ohrid especially the boardwalk & church lookout. The only negative was the long drive as we detoured to Dorres as well - 14 hours total. The only suggestion is to run a separate trip from Dorres and/or have a central pick up point in Tirana. Highly recommend the tour”
Shared Lake Ohrid cruise to St Naum Monastery with a quick Bay of Bones stop, onboard Wi-Fi, and time to explore on your own.
“The boat was comfortable and not overcrowded compared to the other boats providing the same trip. Staff were friendly, drinks were reasonably priced, good WiFi on board. The monastery was pretty but our highlight was the rowing boat through the springs which cost 300 denars pp if you shared the boat , our boatman was very knowledgable and the springs themselves were stunning. Lunch options in the restaurants were plentiful and again reasonably priced. We are not beach people but enjoyed sitting where the springs flow into the lake, very cool and relaxing. All in all a lovely day out .”

“This tour is a must do in Ohrid. We had an amazing day with Nikola, he is happy to let you stop off for swim stops whenever and was happy for us to spend as much time in places we required. He also recommended a few restaurants for lunch and once we had decided he had arranged a table for us right on the water front which was lovely. The whole day was a highlight of our trip so far. To top it all off once we were on our way back Nikola arranged a wine tasting and taxi for us at a local winery. Thank you again, Nikola!”
