Wonderful Day Trip!
This was a fantastic day trip! I didn't know much about North Macedonia before going on this trip, but seeing Lake Ohrid was worth the trip! If you're interested, there's definitely enough time to bring your bathing suit and get a quick swim in on a hot day. I would definitely recommend going on this day trip if you have the time!

Great Trip To An Amazing Lake! You won't regret it!
George our bus driver and Dave our guide did an excellent job in getting us to Macedonia. Dave gave us entertaining, informative and poignant stories about growing up under communism. I wish we could have stayed longer but the drive eats a lot of time up.

Beautiful views of Lake Ohrid
Thoroughly recommend this trip! You do a full circle of Lake Ohrid taking in breathtaking views. Our guide on the coach was very knowledgeable about the history as was our guide around the City of Ohrid. You have the opportunity to take a boat trip on the lake and free time to try local traditional cuisine and explore on your own.

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tirana.
How much does North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tirana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tirana is not rushed.
Is North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 280 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tirana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres?
+
Around 98 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tirana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tirana and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does North Macedonia: Ohrid & Saint Naum Day Tour from Tirana/Durres start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tirana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tirana?
+
On Outty we rank every Tirana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tirana- Hiking Tour to Bovilla Lake & Gamti Mountain, From Tirana / Durres: Gamti Mountain and Bovilla lake Day Trip, Kruja castle, the old Bazaar & Sarisalltik- Departure from Tirana. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tirana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tirana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
