It was fantastic! The weather was great, the food good and Ohrid is just a little gem! But our guide Toni was outstanding! He taught us the whole history of the country in a day, spoke great English, responded to our wishes and was just an incredibly sympathetic guide! Thank you for the great experience
One of those “don’t miss it” destinations

This is such a spectacular place, I’m so glad I had the time to do this trip. The churches and village are so beautiful, and the lake itself is just stunning—a landmark destination that you won’t want to miss. It happened to be 40c that day, but my guide made adjustments in the itinerary so I wouldn’t overdo it and pass out from the heat! She was just great! And by having a private tour, I was able to have really meaningful conversations with my guide and make a new friend. A long but memorable day.
Thoughtful, beautiful tour

What a fantastic day. This private full day “Best of Ohrid” tour from Skopje was an absolute delight. From the moment we set out, our guide was the perfect blend of professional expertise and warm, friendly charm. She effortlessly navigated through the beautiful sights, sharing fascinating stories that brought the history and culture of Ohrid to life. What made the experience especially meaningful was her willingness to share honest insights about everyday life in Macedonia. She answered our questions thoughtfully and openly, which gave us a deeper appreciation for the country beyond the typical tourist perspective. The tour moved at a comfortable pace, with plenty of time to take photos, explore, and soak in the atmosphere. Every stop felt thoughtfully planned, and the whole experience ran smoothly. At the end of the day, it started to rain heavily. Without hesitation, our guide walked all the way to her car in the downpour just to pick us up and keep us dry. That level of care really stood out. Highly recommend this tour. It was well organized, visually stunning, and made even better by a guide who truly went above and beyond.
A great way to get a flavour of this ancient city.

This is an excellent way to visit Ohrid if you only have a day to spare. Although a long day involving a lot of walking the day is not rushed and enough time given to fully appreciate the sights of interest. The guide Elena is superb: informative, ensuring the comfort of her passengers and delivering with a great sense of humour. I would point out that Ohrid is very hilly and the old streets and steps awkward if like myself you have even minor mobility issues. That said the Elena made sure I was safe and able to keep pace and it should not deter anyone as long as care is taken The transport is a very comfortable, air conditioned mini bus. I would throughly recommend this trip.
Greatest guide

Our guide (I don't remember his name but he writes the blog) was the best we could ask for. He told us everything about the country's history, culture, religion and much more. The tour was organized nicely and in the only time there was rain we managed to have a nice meal. Highly recommended.
10 stars!!

Igor and Olivia thank you for two magnificent tours. They took us Lake Ohrid and Kosovo in two days. Olivia is very knowledgeable and passionate about history and Igor is so kind and sweet. They both make a great team and took care of us and showed us around their country. Cant recommend this company enough and ask for Igor and Olivia!
Definitely recommend!!

I could not recommend Skopje Daily Tours more! Zlatko was a great driver (read some reviews from other companies where this was not the case) and amazing tour guide. His knowledge of the history and culture of Macedonia and Ohrid was impressive. Zlatko's passion for his work and desire to ensure a high quality experience really shine through in ways big and small. I can also speak to how proactive and helpful the office staff were with communications about the logistics, etc. My only regret was that I did not realize the company offered other tours, for example to Kosovo, that I could have booked!
beautiful Ohrid

Zlatko was an amazing guide. So informative and helpful. The tour over ran but he didn’t care so long as we were enjoying ourselves. A wonderful, memorable day.
