Only THE BEST for this day!

Christopher_A, Oct 2025
How could I have been so lucky! My husband was sick that day and Toni, my guide for the day, was plus quam perfectum/More than Perfect. Toni, is Passionate; he is Old Charm and the Perfect Gentleman; Toni is truly a Historian - I learned SO much; I was drawn by Toni's Vast Knowledge and Passion for Ohrid and the regions of our journey and those around us. Yes, he made it a Journey - one of the past and one of the present. I was overwhelmed with each of my day. English is his 7th language, but this soft and well spoken Gentleman, made my day a Priceless and Memorable one!

A Matter of Principle

Tony. Absolute charmer and historian of a guide. He made the trip a 100/10, giving us his wits and wisdom about Ohrid’s culture and history. Without him, I doubt we’d be able to know on our own a tenth of what he knew about Macedonia’s rich history. Brought us around the sights beyond what was expected for a day’s tour. I will not hesitate to come back to the Balkans and have him around again. Thanks again Tony! Singapore remembers. p.s poor Tony had to walk around old town because we rejected a boat ride/shortcut 🙂‍↔️

Great trip!

Very interesting and informative trip with lots to see. Great to do if you only have a short time in Ohrid (like us) or no car. Tony was great value and is obviously dry well informed and passionate about his beautiful country! Thank you!

Passionate private guide for Ohrid

Manuel_O, Nov 2023
We really enjoyed our tour to dive deeper into the history of Ohrid. The tour took about 6.5h and covered everything from the deep history of Macedonia and all the amazing sights in and near Ohrid. Our guide (Tony) was clearly passionate and explained everything very clear so it was easy to follow, even for non english experts.
