I had a solo tour, my guide was Naumka. She was absolutely amazing! I was extremely lucky to have her as my guide, as she is from Ohrid. Her enthusiasm and love for the area showed and made this an enriching experience for me. The level of detail and explanations Naumka shared were wonderful. This UNESCO city and lake are a must see if you go to Macedonia. Hope you get a guide like Naumka 😊

Continue to the 11th-century cathedral church of St. Sofia, the Ancient Theater from the 2nd century BC, and the beautiful icons at the church of St. Mary Perivleptos.

Get fantastic views of Ohrid Lake from the medieval walls of Samuil Fortress. Descend to Plaosnik at the crossroads of civilizations on Ohrid Hill.

Gordon – August 9, 2021 – Verified booking
This was an excellent tour and a great way to learn about Ohrid. My guide (Naumka) was born and raised in the town. She knew the history, background, and modern context of the sites we visited. Her English was excellent and her enthusiasm even more so. It is wonderful to spend time with someone who knows an area so well and loves sharing that information. She is very proud of Ohrid and is both professional and enthusiastic about helping visitors see and understand details that would otherwise be overlooked.
