VISIT MACEDONIA
Read moreThis local agency offers short one- to three-day excursions, mainly in Skopje and Ohrid, with English-speaking guides and/or drivers. Some offers are interesting, such as the "2 Day Rural Tour", which includes Lake Prespa and the church of Kurbinovo, as well as Kruševo and the Makedonium. On the whole, however, it's still very urban. Short discovery tours are also available to Kosovo and Albania, or transfers with visits en route to Sofia (Bulgaria), Thessaloniki (Greece), Tirana (Albania) or Pristina (Kosovo).
