The tour was organized very well, our guide, Tony was an impeccable person and very prepared, kind and helpful. I highly recommend this agency also for the friendliness of their employees in Skopje offices.
A very pleasant day in the city of orhid. We walked through the alleys of the city to the 365 churches and had lunch by the lake. A visit not to be missed during a stay in Skopje. Tony our guide has made us discover the beauty of this city full of history.
Great day trip with a wonderful guide. A perfect opportunity to see this UNESCO WHS with a good amount of free time, as well as aguided tour.
How could I have been so lucky! My husband was sick that day and Toni, my guide for the day, was plus quam perfectum/More than Perfect. Toni, is Passionate; he is Old Charm and the Perfect Gentleman; Toni is truly a Historian - I learned SO much; I was drawn by Toni's Vast Knowledge and Passion for Ohrid and the regions of our journey and those around us. Yes, he made it a Journey - one of the past and one of the present. I was overwhelmed with each of my day. English is his 7th language, but this soft and well spoken Gentleman, made my day a Priceless and Memorable one!
Full day trip to Ohrid was great. Our guide and driver Elena was great. She took great care of all of us. Ohrid is very beautiful and worth seeing. I travelled with Skopje Daily Tours. Good food options. Lovely market to explore. Strongly recommended.

A great tour to a really exciting, World Heritage-listed destination. Our guide Olivia really brought the place (and nation) to life, and Igor's driving was excellent. Both Ohrid and its Lake and Skopje Daily Tours are highly recommended. In fact, our transfers from (late at night) and to (early in the morning) Skopje Airport to our hotel were carried out pleasantly and efficiently by the company, also.

Fantastic tour! I visited Kosovo, Ohrid, and Matka Canyon with this company, and everything was smooth and well-organized. My favorite spot was the Church of St. John at Kaneo in Ohrid — absolutely magical! The guides were amazing, and the whole trip felt relaxed and special. Highly recommend to anyone who loves beautiful places and great service!

Great experience! Highly recommended! I had 3 days with Skopje Daily Tours (3 tours) and it was totally worth it. Both guides I met (Zarko and Vladimir) were super professionals.
Igor and Olivia thank you for two magnificent tours. They took us Ohrid, Millennium cross and Matka canyon in two days. Olivia is very knowledgeable and passionate about history and Igor is so kind and sweet. They both make a great team and took care of us and showed us around their country. You guys are amazing. We had so much fun. Cant recommend this company enough and ask for Igor and Olivia!
Loved our Tour. We had an amazing day touring Ohrid it was a long day but we saw so much. We loved it. Our tour guide from Skoplje was amazing. We were a family of 5 from Australia, he was very knowledgeable and knew alot about Ohrid and its history. We visited so many churches and he knew a lot of info to educated us. We visited Bay of Bones, Sveti Naum, Ohrid old town. So much walking but so worth it. We learnt so much .
