About this tour
This call is a planning conversation about where to start in Ohrid rather than a filmed walk. I compare beginning in the old bazaar's lanes with heading straight to the waterfront instead, and I explain how much walking and climbing each option actually involves. It stays a conversation rather than a live walk.
We talk through your plans on the call, and I ask about the time you have and how much walking you want to do before suggesting an order. I send a short written note afterwards with the plan we settled on.
This suits anyone who wants a clear plan before their first hour in Ohrid. It also suits anyone deciding between the old town's lanes and the flatter waterfront.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Ohrid: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?

How it works
- Your guide calls the number you give at booking.
