Don’t miss seeing Ohrid with Aleksandra - With limited time in Ohrid, Aleksandra gave us the perfect tour of the town, hitting all the important stops, giving us the right amount of historical context and providing us a glimpse of current life in North Macedonia. She was very flexible, adjusting her normal tour to our needs and she was prompt and pleasant to be with.

Great Guide - We met Aleksandra Neloska when we arrived in Ohrid and were lucky enough to have her guide us for the next four days through villages, monasteries, lakes and mountains all the way to Skopje. She had all the best qualities of a professional guide — excellent communication skills, engaging daily briefings, and a deep knowledge of every place we visited. Her focus on the essential features was refreshing, and she managed to connect personally with each member of our small but diverse group. Thanks to Aleksandra’s long-standing local relationships and experience as both a guide and resident of Ohrid, we enjoyed unique experiences throughout the region — visiting places and meeting people that few others would have access to. A wonderful storyteller with impressive insight into local food, wine, culture and community life, Aleksandra brought each destination to life. She was also great fun, joining in our lunches, dinners and cooking classes with genuine enthusiasm. Not your average guide — an absolute standout!

Fantastic tour with Aleksandra - We are a travel agency in Romania and we had Aleksandra as our tour guide in Ohrid for a group of 45 tourists. Aleksandra made our experience unforgettable, she is an amazing person, kind, caring, professional,well organised, with great knowledge of history, culture and traditions. She took us to best places in Ohrid, making sure we got best out of our trip. She organised for us a lovely boat trip on Ohrid Lake and also, best macedonian floklore evening we could have with delicious food, live music and traditional dancers. She went out of her way and helped us recover some property left behind in the hotel room, making sure it was packaged and sent back to Romania. We strongly recommend Aleksandra,she is probably one of the best guides in Ohrid and in Macedonia! Thank you, Aleksandra! It was a pleasure meeting you, we look forward to seeing you in the near future!

Amazing experience with Alexandra in Ohrid! Everything was perfectly organized, she took us to top spots and gave the be - I had the pleasure of exploring Ohrid with Alexandra as my guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organized, from the meeting point to the carefully planned route. She took us to some of the most beautiful and hidden spots in Ohrid, places we never would have discovered on our own. What makes Alexandra truly special is not just her knowledge, but also her ability to share useful tips along the way. Every piece of advice she gave turned out to be spot-on, whether it was about the best time to visit certain sights, where to enjoy authentic food, or how to make the most of our free time. If you’re visiting Ohrid, I highly recommend trusting Alexandra as your guide. Follow her lead and take her advice—you won’t regret it!
