Petra – Switzerland

We loved Filip and his passion about the city and its rich history. Ohrid is a beautiful place day and night!

L
Layla – Netherlands

I had never booked a private tour before, and I must admit that it exceeded all my expectations. The guide was highly knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly friendly. In the end, it was just me and him, yet I never felt bored for a single moment. I learned so much about Ohrid, as he is both a local and a resident, sharing fascinating insights about the city. Looking back, it was a truly enriching and memorable experience. I highly recommend it for anyone short on time but eager to discover the essence of the city.

Excellent tour, it could have been done by yourself but would not have found out half the information and cool stuff that our tour guide Filip provided. His knowledge of the Ohrid and Macedonian history was amazing, we were really impressed with how the whole day went. Can't recommend it enough and of course the Ohrid is stunning. Thank you Filip for a fabulous day.
