オフリド湖まで一日: スコピエからユネスコ都市へのグループツアー

First of all, I would like to point out that Viator scammed me. I booked a 10-hour excursion for 65 euros and found myself on an excursion still in Ohrid of 11/12 hours with everyone else who had paid 45 euros.

Ilana is a great guide who loves to share information about her country. She drove safely and made sure we had a good time. It was a small tour group (8 people in a van), which was great. Highly recommended

We had an amazing experience on our Ohrid Lake tour! We were a very large group of around 50 people, and Damir and Teodora did an incredible job keeping everything organized and making sure the day ran smoothly. We were able to see all the main attractions, enjoy a boat ride on the lake, and still have plenty of time to explore Ohrid on our own based on their recommendations. They were both friendly, helpful, and great at managing such a big group. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend this tour!

Incredible experience. We had Elena as a guide and she was wonderful. From the beginning she told us interesting facts about Skopje, Ohrid, and the country in general, and with a good sense of humor. The trip lasted about 3 and a half hours (with a 20-minute stop to rest). When we arrived in Ohrid, Elena accompanied us for almost the entire morning explaining the main points of the city, and in the end we had about 2 hours to ourselves. I liked this excursion a lot because it gives you plenty of time to get to know the most important parts of the city. Highly recommended.

Very good, very interesting to do

We had Smile as our guide and he was fantastic! He was early and patient enough to wait for everyone to arrive at the meet up point. He’s knowledgeable, a safe driver and an excellent tour guide! He also shared with me and another solo traveller that I met on the trip that he’s an artist. He explained the church frescos beautifully to someone who isn’t very familiar with them. He also gave us enough time to shop for pearl souvenirs as Ohrid is very well known for them and he recommended an authentic and reasonably priced local shop. The restaurant he recommended to us had 10/10 views, authentic food and excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and give high praises to Smile.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but there are those trips that stand from the others. With only two days in Skopje, I chose to do the Lake Ohrid and Matka Canyon morning tour with Skopje Daily Tours. It turned out to be such an amazing experience! As someone with lung issues, I pick my tours very carefully but especially here because Lake Ohrid is very hilly. I chose this tour because it starts at the top and is a gentle pace with several stops down to the lakeshore (which was appreciated for those on the tour with difficulty downhill). The first few minutes of the tour is a challenge as there is a bit of a climb to the fortress. Even though I was behind the others, everyone was inside exploring the fortress on their own. Giving me time to catch my breath on a bench waiting for others to visit the fortress. Allowing everyone to do their own thing. The churches are the highlight's. It feels like we are visiting modern and ancient versions of the same church! The blue colours on both church frescos are stunning. Equally stunning is the blue of Lake Ohrid. You would swear it’s the Mediterranean. Leisurely walking down to the beautiful lakeshore stopping at key sites in this area’s incredible history and being with such a genuinely nice group of fellow travellers was just what the doctor ordered. Through it all, Slavko made sure we were well looked after as he effortlessly moved us as a group. A truly special guide. Slavko did everything possible to make this trip so special and brought such great energy to the group. It was like you were instant friends! We then went on a boat trip to the city of Ohrid. We were all blown away by how fresh, clean and clear the lake was. Once in the city, we had more than enough time for lunch and time to enjoy the city. Word of advice: compare restaurants as the lakeshore ones are overpriced and not good. The Matka Canyon Tour was also amazing. Olivia had equally positive energy: another instant friend! For us with mobility issues, this tour has a bit more ups and downs but nothing too steep. Since everyone is surrounded by nature, everyone wants to take it slow and no one minds stops along the way to pause for pictures of the beautiful river flowing beside us. The blue colour of the river is just as beautiful as at Ohrid but now with the added green of the forest, turning it almost into an emerald colour This tour has more walking than Lake Ohrid. There is a bit of a climb up some steps but with Olivia’s advice on where to pause to enjoy a view, it was effortless and I had plenty of time to explore the cave. If you have the time, both tours feel like two incredible days in nature with a night stay in Skopje. Such a great way to distress and breathe in all that matters. Cheers Slavko, Olivia and Skopje Daily Tours!

This was such a great trip with an amazing tour guide (Goldie) full of knowledge, passion and experience. It was a long day with a lot of driving to endure but it was worth the distance as Lake Ohrid is stunning. I was lucky to have a sunny day but generally worth while. 5 🌟

Vlad was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable and was well informed on Ohrid. He answered all our questions and gave us time to explore the area at the end of the walking tour. Would recommend if you are short of time and want to explore the lake.

We had a day trip to Ohrid lake and got to see the archaeological site of Heraclea Lyncestis as a bonus (we paid extra to see it), lastly we were in downtown Bitola, it was absolutely amazing. Our guide Tony told us everything about the local history of Macedonia, which made the otherwise long trip to Ohrid/Bitola seem very short. All around a perfect day.
