Stunning Scenery and a Great Day Trip! - This was a really cool trip and absolutely worth the time for a day excursion from Tirana. The scenery throughout the journey and at Lake Ohrid is beautiful and definitely some of the best views in the region. Visiting Saint Naum was a highlight, and the overall atmosphere of the tour was great. If you are in Tirana and want to see something truly spectacular across the border, I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing day full of beautiful memories - This is one of our favourite tour. Both Adam and Klodi were wonderful people to accompany us on this tour. We had the opportunity to take everything in at our own pace. Both cities were absolutely stunning. A special shout out to the tour company too. Their organisation and communication was absolutely wonderful. I will definitely recommend this tour and this company. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent trip from Tirana to Ohrid - Great trip from Tirana, Albania to Ohrid, North Macedonia. Ohrid is very pretty with plenty of interesting history. Nolan was a very knowledgeable guide and ensured we had enough time throughout the day to stop for food, photos, rest and souvenirs. There were only two of us, but Nolan still went ahead with a private tour which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend booking this tour.

Poor Communication & No-Show — Wasted Vacation Time - I had a very disappointing experience. Prior to the tour, the tour operator never confirmed the exact meeting location and pickup details. Despite the lack of confirmation, I showed up early at the stated meeting point on the day of the tour. No guide, driver, or representative ever arrived. I waited over 30 minutes and attempted to contact the tour operator, but still received no reply. With no information, no pickup, and no accountability, I was left stranded and forced to request a refund and scramble to make backup plans so I wouldn’t completely waste a day of my vacation. Travelers rely on clear communication and reliability—especially for early-morning, cross-border day trips. Unfortunately, this operator provided neither. I cannot recommend this tour and suggest others book with a company that actually confirms details and shows up for their guests.
