My brother and I had such an awesome experience. We had the tour guide to ourselves and he gave us a private tour just the 2 of us they didn’t cancel. The driver/guide was really nice and informative and he showed us around Skopje and gave us all the time we needed to soak up the views and take pictures! Unfortunately we didn’t get to ride the cable car to the millennium cross because it wasn’t operating, but we we got to go see and enter church st. Panteleimon instead which was very cool. We will definitely be returning and booking again with them. Thank you for a great time and fun experience ????????

We have visited 3 Balkan countries, and Ohrid was one of the highlights of our trip. Its much more prettier than on the photos, and wster is perfectly clear. Tour did meet our expectations, and to daul away without the guide it would be pretty but much less interesting. Our guide bob was easy going polite and interesting and he made our day. Hope to come back here with my family and stay longer, and for sure i will contact Balkan experience again.. They are very professional.

A tour that will take you to one of the most interesting destinations of Balkans Ohrid town, This town is North Macedonia's most seductive destination. It sits on the edge of serene Lake Ohrid, with an atmospheric old quarter that cascades down steep streets, dotted with beautiful churches and topped by the bones of a medieval castle. Famous for its lake and architecture. At the same time you will visit Lin, a small peninsula softly joins the shores of Lake Ohrid. It was once called “Lake of Light” perhaps because the light of both the sun and the moon wholly illuminate its surface year-round. Indeed, this lake’s reflections are legendary! Hundreds of locals reside in this small but beautiful peninsula. As you descend the road to get there, you will notice the beautiful red roofs of its characteristic small homes.
