Pleasant and fun tour with very likable guides! The historical sites and nature were beautiful and rich with history, and our guides were very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time to explore the area and have dinner. There’s a lot of interesting things about Ohrid I never knew, from its churches to its ancient lake to even its pearls I saw everything I was curious about. I took this trip in November and the light seasonal rain made for a beautiful and dramatic environment to see Ohrid and its nature.
This was a fantastic tour...

Lovely day trip from Skopje, which was magical in the autumn. Ohrid is a must for any visit to North Macedonia, and this itinerary did not disappoint. Nikola was professional and very knowledgeable in his presentation. A talented driver, he took great care of us all day long. I highly recommend!

It was a long drive, but definitely worth it. Crossing the mountain range with all the autumn colors around was an added bonus. We were lucky to have such a nice sunny October day exploring Ohrid from above and below. It was possible also for people to visit or skip some sights during the walk so there was no pressure for everyone to be interested in the same things.
Highly recommended

This was my second Viator day trip. On the last one the bus broke down in Peru at 5,000M leaving us gasping for air for an hour+. This one - yesterday - was in Macedonia and the bus broke down at 1,000M leaving us waiting 3 hours at a gas station. The one in Peru refused to return me to the pickup point until I proved I would just sleep in the bus until they did. So, just No.
Magical and a fantastic tour.. not to be missed

I joined this tour as a solo traveller. The group was small and our local tour guide Damir was fantastic. He has an abundance of knowledge about the surrounding area. Full of anecdotes, interesting facts, friendly and easy going. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we saw so much. It was real value for money and would strongly recommend this tour along with all the other tours i joined in that same weem. Thank you Damir for making my trip truelly memorable and amazing.
Very enjoyable

This was an enjoyable day out. We saw lots and it was well organised. In my opinion we had too long in Ohrid for private time. There was a slight issue with one of the members of the group being taken ill but the guide (Im sorry, I cannot recall his name as it was a couple of weeks ago now) handled it all really well with minimum impact. This was a long trip, but there was a lot if distance involved, highly reccomeded.
