Many thanks to our tour guide and driver for taking us on an informative and enjoyable trip from Skopje to Mavrovo and Ohrid that also included a visit to a beautiful monastery and stops by three man-made lakes. We learned a great deal about Macedonian history both ancient and recent. This provided us with an excellent overview of the region.

My guide Alexander was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was also a safe driver (there was a rather long distance to cover in the dark). I sprained my ankle during the day out but with his help and encouragement I managed to complete an awesome walk in the Old town of Ohrid!

Wir waren einen ganzen Tag mit Dance, Chefin und unsere super Fahrerin an dem Tag, und Vaska, super Guide und spricht perfekt deutsch, in Ohrid und Mavrovo unterwegs. Vaska könnte uns zu allem sehr viel erklären und zeigen und hat ein super Wissen über ganz Mazedonien, die Religion und die Menschen. Es hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht und wir würden die Tour jede Zeit wieder buchen!
