Unforgettable Ohrid: A Local's Favorite Spots

Discover Ohrid’s ancient charm on a small-group adventure, limited to a handful of lucky explorers. It’s the perfect choice if you prefer a more personal journey.

From picturesque cobblestone streets to breathtaking viewpoints and historical gems, we'll explore the city's hidden corners like a local.

Savor the irresistible taste of authentic baklava at a beloved local spot (prepare for a sugar rush!) and wrap up our adventure with a cozy tea break at a delightful, traditional tea house.

It's more than just a tour; it's a social adventure filled with laughter, stories, and the joy of discovery.

Come as a tourist, leave as a friend!

The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes

Guiding since 2024

For years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding friends and Couchsurfers through the old town of Ohrid, uncovering its hidden gems and sharing its rich history. Now, thanks to a recommendation, I’m excited to bring this experience to GuruWalk! My small-group tours focus on exploring the old town's narrow streets, local food spots, and secret delights, ensuring a social and personalized experience that’s impossible with larger tours. And don’t worry - my terrible jokes come free with every booking! Update: After lots of nudges from fellow travelers, I’ve also started a food-focused free tour in Skopje. Bold enough to lead you into hidden spots no tourist would find alone, it’s a delicious way to experience the city like a true local!
