Day 1 – Tour of Ohrid and Skopje Tour of Ohrid and Lake Ohrid According to UNESCO, the town of Ohrid is one of the oldest human settlements in Europe. Lying on the shores of Lake Ohrid, one of the world’s oldest and deepest lakes, the city has for centuries been a crossroads of cultures, traditions, and civilizations. Often referred to as the “Jerusalem of the Balkans”, Ohrid played a crucial role in the spread of Slavic Orthodoxy. At its peak in the 11th century, it was said to have 365 churches—one for each day of the year. Our tour of Ohrid will have two main parts, beginning with the Old City and Samuil’s Fortress, which offers breathtaking views over the lake. Descending from the fortress, we’ll reach the picturesque Kaneo Bay, one of Ohrid’s most photographed locations. The first-ever postcard from Ohrid featured the stunning Church of St. John at Kaneo, perched dramatically on the cliffs above the lake. The tour concludes in the lower part of the city, where two parts of Ohrid—and two religions—meet, symbolizing centuries of coexistence and tolerance. City Tour of Skopje After exploring Ohrid, we’ll travel to the heart of North Macedonia—its capital, Skopje. Today, Skopje stands as the country’s largest economic, political, and cultural center, with a fascinating history dating back to antiquity. Known as the “City of Statues,” Skopje resembles a living monument to its rich past. The Vardar River and its bridges beautifully divide—and at the same time unite—the two faces of the city. On one side, you’ll find modern Skopje, rebuilt after the devastating 1963 earthquake, and on the other, the charming Old Bazaar, filled with history and life. Our city tour begins with the main square and its many statues and monuments, including a visit to the House of Mother Teresa, dedicated to the city’s most famous native. We’ll continue across the historic bridges, into the Old Bazaar, where friendly vendors offer traditional crafts and local products. The tour culminates with a visit to Skopje Fortress, offering panoramic views of the city. To round off the experience, we’ll explore two of the city’s most symbolic religious landmarks: the Church of St. Clement of Ohrid and the Mustafa Pasha Mosque, both standing as testaments to Skopje’s enduring spirit of multicultural harmony. Day 2 – Tour of Pristina and Prizren City Tour of Pristina Our journey continues to Pristina, the vibrant capital of Kosovo. Inhabited since the Stone Age and linked to the Vinča culture, Pristina is a city where ancient history meets modern energy. We begin with a visit to the National Library of Kosovo, a striking architectural masterpiece blending Byzantine, Ottoman, and Serbian influences—a true reflection of the city’s diverse heritage. Since 1982, it has housed more than 2 million historical and literary works. Next, we’ll explore the city center, visiting the iconic Newborn Monument, symbolizing Kosovo’s independence, and the impressive Cathedral of Mother Teresa. The city’s Islamic heritage is also prominent, with mosques dating back to the 14th century. We’ll visit the Old Town and the Çarshia Mosque, built in 1321 and the oldest in Pristina. City Tour of Prizren After Pristina, we’ll head to Prizren, often called the Cultural Capital of Kosovo. Nestled along both sides of the Bistrica River, beneath the Prizren Fortress, the city is a living museum of Ottoman, Byzantine, and Albanian history. Our first stop is the House of the Prizren League, where the Albanian National League of 1878 was formed—marking a key moment in the nation’s path toward independence. Inside, the Ethnographic Museum showcases traditional Albanian life and culture. We’ll then explore the charming Stone Bridge of Love and the Traditional Bazaar of Prizren, centered around the beautiful Sinan Pasha Mosque. The cobbled streets of the old city are lined with artisan shops, spice vendors, and cafés serving local specialties. To conclude the day, we’ll enjoy a traditional lunch, sampling some of Prizren’s most beloved dishes—an authentic taste of Kosovo’s rich culinary tradition.

This tour is a great way to visit two countries in two days. We travelled from Tirana to North Macedonia on day 1, visiting Orhid on the way. At Night we stayed at Skopje city centre in a hotel arranged by the Agency. The next day we started with the visit of Skopje city, then Matka Canyon in North Macedonia and Prizren on Kosovo. Unfortunately we missed Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. as there was a festival in Pristina and entering into Pristina was difficult. All the places we visited were great. But the highlight was our Driver and Guide Erik. He was very friendly, caring, full of fun.The places Erik suggested for lunch were nice. I will give him ten stars if I can. We were two couples in the tour and with Erik, our five member team had wonderful two days.
100% recommend doing this tour!!

I actually took 2 days tour of North Macedonia and Kosovo from Tirana. Communication from the beginning was super smooth. Our guide Endri was super knowledgeable about the area/country, he safely drove us all around, recommended us some great meal (even with my vegetarian dietary), and patiently answering all of our questions. The commentary was just the right amount—not too much and not too little. I learned so much about the countries i visited. Thank you for the great experience!
Great experience

I can definitely recommend Go As Locals! The guides organized a really nice tour that was based on what I was interested in and the time I had. If I had questions about the tour, the Go As Locals team always answered very quickly. I did two tours with them. The first was to North Macedonia and Kosovo, and the second was in southern Albania. Both guides were excellent (Engjell and Endrit). They were really motivated to show the countries and their cultures and gave a personal look at what life is like in Albania. Because the tour groups were small, it felt more personal. These tours gave me a great introduction to the beauty of Kosovo, North Macedonia, and of course, Albania. All three countries have delicious food, a rich culture, wonderful hospitality, and beautiful nature. And importantly, I also saw the strength and resilience of the people, a clear result of the tough history they've lived through.

We’re a family from Australia travelling with our 3.5-year-old toddler, and we had a truly wonderful experience with Go As Local and our tour guide, Engjell. One of the first things we appreciated was that Engjell is a non-smoker — something that’s surprisingly rare in Albania and the Balkans, and very important to us as a young family. Engjell is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Albanian culture. His warmth and friendliness made us feel like we were travelling with a friend, which made the experience all the more memorable. From start to finish, Go As Local was accommodating, professional, and easy to communicate with. We were genuinely impressed to discover that one of the best tour providers we’ve encountered is based right here in Albania. We highly recommend Go As Local to any family looking for a smoke-free, culturally rich, and personalized tour experience. Warm regards, Chelsia from Australia 6-star diamond rating!
