Ohrid is amazing but don't expect to have time to swim - still recommend
Tour guide was great and asked them to stamp our passports when we crossed the border which he didn't have to do. With a group our size, I think it went pretty well. I really appreciated that they hired a local guide in Ohrid to take us around and she was fantastic, and the boat ride was also great. I think there was some confusion about whether there was time alotted for actual swimming (which there really was not if you wanted to not be rushed and be able to eat lunch and relax). I think maybe an extra hour in St. Naums and making it clean that this was the better place to swim and where to go to get changed and everything would have been helpful since the description mentions swimming. There was also an issue with the bathroom at St Naums so we spent about 25 mins of our 45 of limited free time waiting in a bathroom line and eventually had to use the mens to make it back to the bus only a few minutes late (which was a bit uncomfortable since men were still using urinals). But the bathrooms can be controlled by the tour guide - I just think a little more planning around the bathrooms and swimming element would be ideal since it seems like one of many selling points in the trip descriptions. But we are overall happy we went with Ohrid being the only really great part of the trip.

Such a hidden gem
I was so surprised at how impressive North Macedonia was! The history and generally the sites were beautiful and unlike anything I’ve really ever seen before.

Large coach trip
I hadn’t quite realised this was a large coach tour so be mindful of that when booking that it is a large group. Nolan, our guide was great and had a microphone so we could hear what he was saying.

Ohrid is a must
Ohrid is a must see! The old town is beautiful and the scenery is unmatched. It’s a long day from Durres - 14 hours. We didn’t visit the Bay of Bones just had time to take pictures.

Make sure you have your Passport or other Docs needed.
There needs to be checks on the participants that they have their documents necessary for leaving Albania and then entering North Macedonia. There need to be reminders sent the day prior as well as being confirmed prior to entering the vehicle. Two members of our small group had no documents and the group was turned away at the border crossing. Our vehicle had to leave, drop these persons off in a city nearby in the Lake Ohrid area (on the Albanian side), and then proceed back to the border crossing of Albania/North Macedonia. I believe we were also scrutinized more thoroughly when we returned to make the crossing due to suspicion on the border guards part that maybe we were trying something this time. Luckily we crossed and had a good trip. Unfortunately it wasted about a half hour for our group. The 2 we left behind later meet at a predetermined place that we picked them up from.
The Good:
Ohrid is a true gem and very much worth the visit.
Very Good tour guide and driver.

I would definitely do it again
There was only a brief wait at the border; everything else was perfectly arranged by the agency. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable and friendly.

Really good experience
Fantastic Tour!
The day trip from Tirana to Ohrid and Saint Naum was amazing. Everything was well-organized, the guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the views were stunning. Ohrid’s old town and lake were beautiful, and the Saint Naum Monastery was peaceful and unforgettable. A perfect day and highly recommended!

The BEST day trip!
We had the best time on our tour from Albania to North Macedonia! Everything was so well organised from start to finish. The drive was absolutely beautiful, and our guide, Chris was so knowledgeable and friendly. We made some fantastic stops along the way and got to see so many amazing places.
Chris made the whole experience unforgettable — we sang, listened to music, chatted, and laughed the entire way! Our group all agreed it was the funniest day of the trip, and our tummies honestly hurt from laughing so much. It was such good value for money too — we did a lot for the price!
Would definitely recommend this company to anyone visiting the area — and a huge thank you to Chris for making it such a great day (and night)!
