Nicola is a great guide! We have loved the trip, he knows a lot about the history, the country, the culture and have a great English and taste for wine! All the recommendations were amazing! We will definitely look for him again when we come back!

This tour is a must do in Ohrid. We had an amazing day with Nikola, he is happy to let you stop off for swim stops whenever and was happy for us to spend as much time in places we required. He also recommended a few restaurants for lunch and once we had decided he had arranged a table for us right on the water front which was lovely. The whole day was a highlight of our trip so far. To top it all off once we were on our way back Nikola arranged a wine tasting and taxi for us at a local winery. Thank you again, Nikola!
