Ivana, our tour guide for Ohrid, surpassed all expectations! Not only was she incredibly kind-hearted, but also remarkably easy to connect with. Her deep knowledge of local history, combined with her upbringing in Ohrid, enriched our experience of this charming city immensely. Ivana's exceptional patience as a guide was a rarity, assuring us to take our time with photos and allowing us to savor every moment of the tour. It felt as though we had known her for ages, enjoying engaging conversations throughout. She went above and beyond to ensure my 8-year-old had a great time, which was truly appreciated. If you're planning a tour in Ohrid, Ivana is your go-to person! Her delightful personality truly made the tour unforgettable. I highly recommend her without hesitation. Our visit to Ohrid and St. Naum was made even more special thanks to her insights and genuine care. Ohrid is indeed a hidden gem, and Ivana's guidance made it shine even brighter. Thank you Ivana!
Both the driver and guide that Explore Macedonia Daily Tours arranged for our tour of Ohrid and St. Naum (from Skopje) were fantastic, and the communication was great. Would recommend!
Beautiful experience! We spent a beautiful day in Ohrid and St Naum. The city is full of history and its people are very warm and friendly. Miki was an excellent driver, punctual, friendly and attentive!! Naumka is an excellent guide, with a lot of knowledge of Ohrid and the history of the entire region in general, she has incredible patience! Thank you for having taught us so much!
The day was great. Dance/Daniela picked us up next to our apartment in Skopje, it was very punctual and friendly. He drives very well and throughout the car journey we enjoyed his explanations. Near Ohrid we were joined by Naumka, our local guide during that day, also very friendly and friendly. He made us a guide in Spanish, although he can also do it in many more languages, he is very intelligent and explains in a very simple way in detail. From the beginning to the end everything was great, we could admire the monuments and the landscape without rush. There were even nice additional surprises that were not included in the original plan. The trip and guided tour are highly recommended for those who love history and culture. We did other excursions with the same Enterprise and they were all excellent. They won't let you down. :-) I hope you enjoy them too.
We had an amazing tour with Naumka and Daniella. Best way to go around Ohrid is through the local guide. She knows the best place and best view!
Perfect all round. Punctual pick-up, safe ride with Dragan, outstanding organization of Miki and one of the best tour guides I had the pleasure to experience on my travels. Susana was a walking Wikipedia and superbly organized. Thank you for this wonderful day.
It was a private tour. We had a pleasant experience. Our driver and guide were both perfect. Can’t ask for anything more. Highly recommended
Date of travel September 2022. The last time I went to Ohrid was 10 years ago so I didn't remember much. I'm from Melbourne Australia but my background is Macedonian from Greece Aegean Macedonia. It was fun to see so many new sites and I had forgotten most of them anyway. The tour guide Lide bought new life to my old memories! She had so much information about the history, religion, food & traditions that I felt like I was at home. Danche the driver was an expert navigating the roads. Especially when facing challenging Balkan driving conditions and unexpected detours. They even helped me organise transfers to other cities via Miki the main contact. They are friendly & happy to help anybody. I recommend 5 stars. Thank you team. I'll be back in 2023 to do more tours with you. Christine Karafillis
