Saw towns and rural areas in Albania which were very scenic. Had a drink and cake in Pogradec and a late fish lunch in a village near the lovely lake Prespa. Quite late back but a great value tour that our family really enjoyed."..."

"Over the years, my family and I have visited a number of countries. We have always benefited from guided tours because it would give us the opportunity to learn the things you could not learn/hear from other sources. This time our guide was Naumka about whom I can confidently say that she was the best guide we have had in more than 30 years. Her devotion and love for the city and the surrounding area were breathtaking and matched only by her boundless energy and love for sharing all the knowledge she has accumulated over the years. Naumka was tireless in her determination to show us the most she could. She was very punctual and pleasant and demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local culture, history and cuisine. Naumka is a polyglot which she has demonstrated during our tour. Ohrid is a magical place, unfortunately, not very well known to the outside world. It is the UNESCO site-Sapienti sat est."..."

"You get a very insightful glimpse of the country in a short time and also about Kosovo whose story is very interesting and shows also small traits of wonderful canyon landscapes even though the rest of the country looks quite unassuming. Macedonia instead is not unassuming at all with its wonderful green mountains and villages where different cultures have been merging for centuries leaving a lot of traces. You leave saying "I had the experience"."..."

"We had a wonderful walking tour through the old part of Ohrid. Truly, when we first arrived we thought we had walked onto the pages of a Fairytale. The entire town is spectacular from the cobblestone roads to the ancient buildings which are still owned by the local families. It is a walking city so there are not many cars. This adds to its unique charm. Our tour guide Llubica grew up in Ohrid. She knew the charming details about the city we would have missed without her. She showed us back streets and parts of the town that made it come to life. We highly recommend a tour with Llubica when visiting Ohrid."..."
