I took a full day tour from Skopje to Lake Ohrid. I was picked up at 8:00 AM from my hotel in a private car. I had Christian as a driver and he was great. It took us about 3 hours to reach Ohrid, on our way we stoped in a local bakery to try a speciality fried bread which was delicious. Christian spoke good english and was very careful driver. Once we reach Lake Ohrid, my guide Ivana was waiting for us. We started the tour immediately, and our first stop was the print shop which make its own paper and used the old Gutenberg printer. After that we walked to the old town stopped at the Greco-Roman amphitheatre, then to the beautiful Byzantine Church of Virgin Mary with its incredible Frescos, then to the Ohrid castle with the its views of the beautiful lake , from the castle we walked down to Gem Church of St. John which is built of a rock cliff overlooking the lake. Ivan also arranged for me a private tour on the lake on a catamaran boat (paid separately, extra) which give you a view of the old town from the lake. After the tour I went for lunch at a local restaurant recommend by Ivana which is away from the crowded area and is on the water and their speciality is the tourt fish from the lake and the river. After lunch I had a stroll on the pedestrian area of the old town for sometime, and then connected again with my driver Christian for the drive back to Skopje which we reached it around 6:30 PM. Many thanks to my wonderful guide Ivana who was so proud of her town and was such an excellent guide and a companion for the three hours we were together. Also thanks for my driver Christian.

This day trip was a great way to see another part of North Macedonia. The transport was comfortable & the driver was safe & considerate. The guide in Ohrid city (Ivana) was exceptional. She spoke English very well & took me to all the spots I wanted to visit & was happy to tailor the visit to my wishes. She was very knowledgeable, informative & engaging. I would thoroughly recommend a trip to Ohrid. There are other interesting sites around the lake so I would recommend staying overnight & doing more on a second day.

Our driver, Robert was very helpful and friendly offering a very enjoyable overall experience. Our tour guide in Ohrid was Ivana who was super friendly and informative. She provided all the information about the places we visited and answered all the questions we had about the country and it's history. Ohrid is a beautiful place with lots of history.

Perfectly organized day trip to beautiful Ohrid. The driver, Dragan, was super polite, friendly, and always on time. There are many crazy drivers in these roads, but Dragan was very careful and cautious, making this trip a safe experience. Once we arrived to Ohrid, a local guide provided a very lively and enjoyable tour of the old town. Plenty of historical facts and walking on this part of the day was nicely rewarded with some time off for eating and wondering around this town.
