Excursión privada de un día a Ohrid, Macedonia del Norte desde Tirana y Durres
Descripción
Según la UNESCO, Ohrid es uno de los asentamientos humanos más antiguos de Europa, situado a orillas del lago Ohrid, uno de los lagos más antiguos y profundos del mundo. Durante siglos, la ciudad ha sido una encrucijada de culturas, tradiciones e influencias históricas, moldeadas por muchas civilizaciones. Conocida como la “Jerusalén de los Balcanes”, Ohrid jugó un papel clave en la difusión de la ortodoxia eslava. En su apogeo, albergó 365 iglesias —una para cada día del año— muchas de las cuales datan del siglo XI y siguen siendo importantes hitos arquitectónicos y espirituales. Este tour privado también incluye una visita a un pueblo de montaña tradicional cercano al pie de las montañas Jablanica. Con caminos empedrados, manantiales frescos y auténtica vida rural, ofrece una escapada pacífica y una visión del patrimonio cultural de Macedonia del Norte, todo a su propio ritmo con un guía dedicado.

Itinerario
Recogida en el hotel
Situado en el acantilado sobre la playa de Kaneo con vistas al lago Ohrid en la ciudad de Ohrid, en el norte de Macedonia. La iglesia está dedicada a Juan de Patmos, el escritor de Apocalipsis, quien ha sido considerado por algunos como la misma persona que Juan el Apóstol.
Visite el centro de la ciudad y la zona del antiguo bazar donde veremos las casas típicas de Ohrid. La mayor parte de la ciudad está pavimentada en piedra, una razón por la que primero se llamó Lyhnidas, proveniente del idioma latino (una piedra preciosa que emite luz.
Saliendo de Tirana a las 09:00 nos dirigiremos hacia el sureste de Albania. Después de entrar en la frontera con Macedonia, la primera ciudad es Struga, llamada así por una antigua leyenda local de un niño. Ohrid está situado al lado de Stuga, a orillas del mismo lago durante siglos ha sido el lugar donde las diferentes culturas tienen que encontrarse. Fundada a partir de las antiguas tribus griegas y de Ilirain, ha pasado a muchos sistemas de incrustación diferentes, como los romanos, bizantinos, búlgaros, turcos, serbios, yugoslavos y, recientemente, forma parte de la República Independiente de Macedonia del Norte. Situado en las colinas de la ciudad, fue construido bajo el gobierno del zar búlgaro Samuil en el siglo X. Se cree que ha incorporado los asentamientos de una antigua fortificación del siglo IV a. C., construida por Felipe II.
Parte de nuestro tour incluye una parada panorámica en un pueblo de montaña tradicional, ubicado al pie de la cordillera de Jablanica. Conocido por sus manantiales naturales, su entorno tranquilo y su auténtico encanto macedonio, este pueblo ofrece un descanso refrescante de la bulliciosa orilla del lago. Tendrás la oportunidad de explorar las calles estrechas y empedradas, admirar las casas rústicas de piedra y disfrutar de los sonidos calmantes del agua que fluye por la zona. Es un momento perfecto para conectar con la naturaleza, tomar fotos o simplemente empaparnos en el ambiente sereno antes de continuar nuestro viaje.
Exclusiva parada del pueblo auténtico, no es un destino turístico famoso, pero será una gran manera de experimentar la belleza y el estilo de vida del pueblo en Macedonia del Norte.

I have traveled the globe and taken tour after tour but this particular company and the operator, Redi, was the very best! Simply historic, comfortable, easy, and I traveled with my wife, dog, and two kids! Take the tour!
A really interesting day out from Tirana, expertly driven and guided by Endri who was a mind of information, not just about the historical sights but also day to day life before and after communism rule. Absolutely top draw day out.
After searching the web, we decided to book our day trip to North Macedonia and Ohrid via Go as Local. What we liked was that we could book a privat tour, for the two of us. Contact with the company was seemless and great. All e-mails were answered quickly, also the payment online was easy. The tour itself was wonderful. Our guide, Redi, met us at the agreed time and place in Tirana. Redi was our driver and guide, and was fantastic. He was very proficient in English and had great knowledge about all we visited. The drive was great, and he took well care of us. We put in a short stop in Struga before reaching Ohrid. What we both liked about the tour, was that is was not rushed. Redi let us take our time. It was more like being with friends on a trip, not a stressed guided tour. All the highlights in Ohrid were visited, and Redi kept giving us all the information we needed. We had a great lunch at a local restaurant before continuing our trip to the last stop which was St. Naum's monastary. We had a full, enjoyable day, learning many things about the history and culture of Ohrid and its' surroundings. This was a fantastic day, thanks to Redi our guide. We can wholeheartedly recommend this trip and using the company Go as Local.
We took the private day tour from Tirana to Ohrid with Armand and it was a truly unforgettable experience. Armand is likeable, engaging and very prepared — you can clearly feel the passion he puts into his work. He customized the tour according to our needs and was committed to making the most of the day. The sites visited were simply breathtaking. Although it was a long day, with a long way to go on foot, it was absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
I had been dreaming of visiting Lake Ohrid for a very long time and it’s been a truly magical experience 🤩 I picked Go As Local a bit by coincidence and I couldn’t be more grateful… 🙏 They were highly responsive & super professional. My guide was not only an amazing driver that made me feel super safe at all times, but he was also extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Loved every minute of the tour; I’d 100% recommend booking a tour with them.
This was a last minute decision as I was waiting on the weather and it turned out to be a perfect day. It was an easy, comfortable journey with easy border crossings. The lake is absolutely beautiful. The town of Ohrid is picturesque and superbly located on the shore. The Ottoman architecture and winding streets were so nice. I think I would return spend longer there just relaxing. It was nice to visit out of season when it was not so busy. My guide, Engjëll, was super informative and friendly - we had a great day.
A great solo trip, where I discovered the beauty of Lake Ohrid and this city. Endri was an excellent guide. Although the trip is long, the views are stunning! Endri knows his history too! Worth every penny!
Great tour!! I enjoyed very much!! The guide Xhulio was awesome! Told me everything about the history of the place and beyond. Had a great time!! Highly recommended
Wow! Beautiful city! Charming roads/cobble stones to walk around! Local dishes and coffee facing the lake was well worth it! Second tour with Julio!
I did the day tour to Ohrid in North Macedonia with Daniel, a resident of Tirana, and can’t rate him too highly. He was well informed about history and many other subjects. Equally important to me, he was personable, friendly and amusing. I was picked up at my hotel in Tirana and dropped back there for the ultimate in convenience. Ohrid Lake and the city are beautiful, rich in history and intriguing. I can’t rate this experience any higher and strongly recommend both the tour and Daniel.
