Andreas – Germany

Great tour to Lake Ohrid, which is very interesting both in terms of its landscape and history. Our driver drove us safely and our guide told us a lot about the history and the area. If you are in Skopje for a few days, this is a very nice trip.

Robert – United States

Ivana and Robert were very friendly throughout the tour. Ivana had so much knowledge and little facts about Ohrid that made the tour that much more. She also presented a lot of options for additional activities if we were interested. Overall a great experience and worth every penny

Then see the beautiful frescoes at the 13th century Saint Clement’s Church of the Holy Mother of God Most Glorious.

After this, continue to Tsar Samuel’s Fortress, named after the first tsar of the Macedonian Slavs. Then head to the Church of Saint Jovan at Kaneo, in a stunning location on the cliffs directly above the lake. From here, return to the town on foot or by boat.

After a little break, visit the Bay of Bones Neolithic settlement to see how life was lived in 1,200 B.C.
