Dear travelers, It is my pleasure that you are viewing my profile and that you have decided to tour my beautiful country of Macedonia. I offer a wide range of cultural trips including my exclusive “Macedonia round-trip tour". Among the visitor favorites that I offer are: day tours along the Ohrid lake coast, and a visit to the Eco village, Krapa; Archaeological and historical tours; monastery trips; research tours; nature tours, foodie and wine tours. For the adventure oriented, I offer outdoor activities including hiking, biking, hunting, skiing, fishing, horseback riding and a special eco, rural village trip with Macedonian organic food and a must have, home-made brandy.

In addition, I can prepare a special tour for painting exhibition for your members, in some of the country’s most beautiful places such as lake Ohrid, national parks, wineries or a combination of the tours below. You are also able to customize your tour in regards to how many places, days and door to door transport you require. I am very flexible and customer satisfaction is my number one priority!

By choosing a personal tour guide you are actually choosing to have personal service, a caring attitude and to receive a true local’s perspective about the daily life here in Macedonia.

Skopje is a very interesting place to visit and many people do not know about the country and the capital—the city is booming with new construction works and many interesting monuments which are hard to understand or learn without an experience guide, so the guide service is the must.

Lence is very professional, speaks fluent English, and tells great jokes. As a local national, Lence is very informative and answered any questions we had. She took her job as guide seriously and was very concerned about our comfort and safety throughout the trip.

I hired her way before arriving in Skopie mostly to drive me to Voden but after I met her in Skopje I knew she was the right person so I hired her for two more days. She has tones of experience in tourism, very familiar with Macedonia and its neighbours countries and willing to compromise and accommodate her clients no matter.

The van left at 8:00 a.m. from a village near Lerin, going to Ohrid, Macedonia. The top of the beautiful national park Galichica gives an unforgettable view of the two lakes by the towns of Ohrid and Prespa.
