It was a very pleasant journey with Petar, my guide/driver. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Ohrid is a wonderful place to visit, rich in history and fantastic natural beauty!

I was able to understand different cultures between Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Albania; the tour guide was excellent in helping to understand the historical background among these countries

With our excellent guide we took a few hours driving to Ohrid and Tirana. I was pleasantly surprised of Ohrid. The view from the Ancient theatre to the lake is great. In Tirana we started from the central square, at the statue of Skanderbeg and spent the next two hours learning about the center of Tirana and the local sites. It is an interesting city. Do not forget to bring camera!!!
