Ohrid with a passionate local

I had an amazing tour with sandra. In fact, although being the only one on the tour, she contacted me in order not to cancel it. Aleksandra loves Ohrid and she will vividly share her passion for it through its history, architecture and different layers that include this lovely and charming city. She does tours for big agencies and at the same time this smaller free walking tours. She will answer all the questions you can have and is interested on learning from everybody. Wonderufl experience wpuld definitely recommend her!
