What To Expect

Saint Sophia

The portraits of the six Roman popes are painted inside the church, which reflects the relations between the Eastern and the Western church before the schism in 1054. The bare-foot Christ as well as the cycle of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste, are some of the rarities that make the gallery of “St. Sophia” unique gallery of paintings. Its magnificent architecture is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Byzantine architecture in general.

This was a whistle-stop tour through Ohrid. Ljubica was my guide for the morning and it was easy to meet up at the statue of St. Clement in the main square. This was a very comprehensive walking tour and we covered a lot of ground as the itinerary sets out. We did take time to visit a couple places and I was satisfied with the places that Ljubica selected for the more detailed stops, e.g. fortress and Church of Saints Clement and Panteleimon (it would have been too much to try to visit every church along the walking tour). We also stopped near the fortress for a rest break with a view of the lake; I enjoyed trying the local mountain tea as recommended. From the final sight St. John at Kaneo, I opted to take a boat ride back instead of walking back and it was nice to see the panoramic sights from the boat. I had limited time in Ohrid so wouldn't have otherwise been able to take a boat ride on the lake. Ljubica shared a lot of history during the tour and it was a nice surprise when she put me on the spot halfway through to check if I remembered anything she had told me - to my surprise, I had remembered quite a bit. In addition to the history, Ljubica gave me tips on local foods I should try and where to go for seafood. She also explained the Ohrid pearl to me and how to choose where to shop for them from the many shops in the town. I would recommend this experience. One last point - the entry fees, boat ride, and rest break are not covered in the tour price so were at an additional expense.
Friendly knowledgeable guide.

Great walking tour. Toni was our guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. There is a lot to see and we could have taken a longer tour. We saw a lot in the time we had. We did this our first day which was a good idea because we got good recommendations for restaurants and activities.
Great guide

Our guide Bobi was excellent - He met us at the meeting point on time and then proceeded to gradually take us around the city, stopping adequately for us to catch a break or take photos at the scenic points. Very knowledgeable, funny as well and accommodated all our requests. Ohrid is a beautiful gem of a city that we couldn't get enough of.
