Meeting point
St. Cyril & St. Methodius Monument
I'll be by the St. Cyril & St. Methodius Monument, a common meeting spot in Ohrid, wearing a black V-neck T-shirt and a smile.

Ohrid, beyond the postcard.
Walk the old town with Damian through hidden lanes, lake viewpoints and living stories. Finish with baklava, tea and a list of places worth coming back to.










Not a history lecture
This 90-minute evening walk is designed for travellers who prefer small groups, relaxed conversation and time to ask questions. Damian combines Ohrid’s essential old-town landmarks with the quieter streets and recommendations he normally shares with visiting friends.
From the Robevci Family House, the route continues through Saint Sophia, the Ancient Theatre, the Upper Gate, Holy Mary Peryvleptos and the residential lanes of Varosh. The exact order may change with the weather, local events and the pace of the group.
When the venues are open, the walk finishes around one of Damian’s regular baklava stops and a traditional tea house. The food stop is optional and may change according to opening hours, availability and dietary requirements.
The aim is to help you understand Ohrid, meet other travellers and leave with practical ideas about where to eat, swim and explore after the tour.

Tour Reviews
“Goran was great, very patient and thorough explanations. A great representative of the beautiful City of Ohrid.”
“Dragan was a brilliant guide. He explained everything really well and was very friendly and approachable. The tour was a real pleasure. As well as providing historical context and showing us the most iconic sights, he helped us avoid tourist traps and find the best places to eat or buy wine. Excellent – highly recommended.”
“Excellent free walking tour in Ohrid Apostolis obviously loves his city and was very informative as to general historical facts, culture and traditions. He spoke perfect English, was very engaging and very funny! Loved the walking tour, it overan a little but that's partly because he had so much to tell us I've done many free tours in many cities but this was certainly one of the best- thank you Apostolis”

“Great tour, humour and information.”
“Tour was great, the guide is very knowledgable. Would definitely recommend.”
“Taking this walking tour of Ohrid’s Old Town was an absolute highlight of our trip, largely thanks to Dragan. He is a true expert on Ohrid’s rich history and culture, seamlessly guiding us through centuries of heritage across the "Jerusalem of the Balkans." Dragan’s deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought every site to life—from ancient landmarks and medieval fortresses to the iconic cliffside views at Kaneo. He paced the walk perfectly, gave rich context to the UNESCO heritage of the area, and gladly answered every question with passion and detail. If you are visiting Ohrid and want to truly understand its cultural soul rather than just seeing the sights, booking a tour with Dragan is an absolute must. Highly recommended!”
“I really recommend a tour with Dragan. He's a professor of tourism in the local university so he does know what to say. We covered all of the most important sites in Ohrid, talked about the history of Macedonia and he even showed us the best photo points.”
“Goran was great, with many helpfull information how to spend our time in Ohrid, many thx to him.”
“I attended tour of Ohrid with Pece couple of days ago. Pece. Tour was fantastic and one of the best Guru walks I have ever attended. Tour was personalized and we were given different options.

Truly amazing experience”

“Excellent guide! He was very fun and had so much knowledge of the city. We saw all of the main sights!”
“One of the best walking tours I’ve ever done. It’s rare to have a professor as a guide who can cover history, local culture, and food while taking you to the city’s most interesting spots.”
“Ohrid es realmente MAGICO!!! y Goran ha sabido llevarnos a los lugares que esconden esa magia. Amable y cercano, y dispuesto a ayudarte en todo lo que necesites.”
“We haven't participated in a free walking tour before and weren't sure what to expect. But Goran was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to and ready to answer any questions we had. The group size made it all a lot more comfortable and familiar. Goran showed us a few really beautiful places, the most important historical landmarks in the area, given it was only two hours and had great facts and knowledge about Ohrid and its history at hand. He's a really nice and funny guy who knows a lot about the city and the time was certainly well spent on the tour. We even met him at one of the places he showed us randomly the next day and had another little chat, which was nice. If you want to get a feel for the city and don't know what to do yet, I would recommend joining for some information and an overview.”
“A wonderful walking tour of Ohrid! Dragan was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, sharing fascinating history and recommending excellent, reasonably priced places to shop and dine. A relaxed and memorable experience—we enjoyed every moment.”

“Dragan is a fantastic guide with a lot of knowledge about Macedonia and Ohrid. The tour will take you in 3 hours along the highlights of Ohrid, so not only the churches. After this tour you know that Ohrid is so much more than only churches! In Dragan's tour you will visit also a shop were you can buy the Ohrid pearls and explains how they are made, a place were you can see how paper is made since 16th century and of coarse the castle is visited. Dragan has a good level of English. Just be aware that you have to climb a lot of stairs to go up to the castle and come down to the lake side again. If this climbing is no problem, than this is the best tour to book!”

“The tour was interesting! We enjoyed the sightseeing spots and explanations. It was a nice time!”
“Dragan was really friendly and very committed to making our trip as great as possible. Apart from giving us a really interesting tour and telling us about the main sights and history of Ohrid, we also learned a lot about the country and its culture. He also recommended restaurants, shops, and things to do in Ohrid and around the lake. He is a 10 out of 10, both as a guide and as a person. We are really grateful to him.”
“Bel giro mattutino in compagnia di Dragan che ci ha fornito tante informazioni interessanti e delle dritte utili su ristoranti, supermercati, luoghi da non perdere…”
“Dragan estuvo genial. Tiene un gran conocimiento sobre Ohrid y Macedonia y su historia. Sus explicaciones sobre diferentes lugares que nos mostró de Ohrid se basaban en dicho conocimiento. Asimismo hizo el tour muy entretenido y ameno. Y nos enseñó los mejores lugares para fotografiarnos. Gracias Dragan”
“Goran is the best!!!”
“The Tour with Dragan was great, very informative and interesting! Learned a lot about the City of Ohrid and North Macedonia in general. He also gave us recommendations what to visit and where to go for different activities. Even though we were only two people at the tour he took his time for us. I would recommend the tour if you’re visiting Ohrid!”
“Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Tour mit Damian, es ging nicht nur um Ohrids Geschichte, sondern mehr um das Ohrid von Heute.

“Nuestra experiencia con Damian fue excelente. Superó con creces nuestras expectativas y fue, sin duda, una de las mejores partes del viaje. No solo nos enseñó los lugares más emblemáticos, sino que consiguió transmitirnos la historia, las tradiciones y la cultura de una forma cercana y muy amena. Además, nos dio magníficas recomendaciones para descubrir la gastronomía local y rincones que, por nuestra cuenta, nunca habríamos encontrado. Gracias a él, conocimos el auténtico Ohrid, mucho más allá de lo que aparece en las guías de viaje. Su profesionalidad, amabilidad y pasión por su tierra hicieron que la visita fuera inolvidable. Lo recomendaría sin dudarlo a cualquiera que quiera conocer de verdad la esencia de Ohrid. ¡Muchas gracias por una experiencia fantástica!”

“I would 100% recommend anyone visiting Ohrid to do this tour, and it was the perfect activity for our first night. It felt like a tour you'd do with a local friend who was showing you around their city, not just a tour guide repeating facts. The personal touch made the tour extra special, and Damian's enthusiasm for the city definitely rubbed off on me.”
“Damian brings a very personal touch to the tour, he’s a great storyteller and knows how to make history come alive. Highly, highly recommend.”

Our favourite walking tour we’ve done in the Balkans can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Con Damian puedes hacer un tour diferente: te llevará por lugares y te moverá por calles que definitivamente los otros Free Tours no llegan. Su manera de explicar las cosas de forma amena, además de sus recomendaciones gastronómicas convierten el tour con Damian en una experiencia única. Para acabar el tour terminamos tomando el mejor baklava y el mejor té de Ohrid. Experiencia 100% recomendable!”
“Damian is very easy going. He took us to less known places. We got some baklava and tea as well. There were only 5 people in our group. Highly recommanded!”
“Damian is real local guide - very interesting and also he was very interested about his Group. It was amazing experience - as a Group we had teatime and Baclava. Thank you for this!”
“Nos encantó el recorrido, aunque podíamos ir tarde y vimos las iglesias por fuera, da una idea sobre qué visitar al día siguiente y buenos tips para aplicar en Ohrid. Me encantó que siendo un grupo reducido, hubo oportunidad de conocer a los demás del grupo. También pasamos por baklavas y té, eso fue inesperado y se agradece bastante.”
“Damian is one of the best tour guides we’ve come across! He genuinely loves the city and you can feel his passion radiating through the stories, places and food he shares with others during the tour. The only regret is we didn’t do the tour sooner as it’s our last night in Ohrid but now thanks to Damian we have a great reason to come back and visit all the places he has recommended! Thank you Damian! Mitchell & Victoria :)”

“Fantastic intro to Ohrid, took us to some spots I would have walked past if I was alone, great insight into history and also advice on dining and activities.”
“Such a smooth and pleasant walk-and-talk through the lovely streets of Ohrid. In this tour, Damian shows you the city in an authentic way, where you don't feel like on an ordinary history overloaded tour. In contrast, he combines the informative aspect about the significance of this special place for Macedonia and the entire Slavic world, with the charm of the local pulse of life and the enjoyment of Ohrid. Highly recommended! P.S. Feel free to crack some light-hearted jokes with him - he'll respond in a great manner. Have fun!”
“I really enjoyed the walking tour with Damian. He showed us both the popular tourist spots and some hidden gems in Ohrid, which made for an exciting and interesting mix. I appreciated how he shared the historical and cultural background of Macedonia — it gave the whole experience more depth. Seeing Ohrid with Damian offered a completely new perspective. On top of that, he gave us great recommendations for shopping and local restaurants. At the end of the tour, we enjoyed some mouthwatering baklava and an enjoyable conversation over Turkish tea. Highly recommended!”
“It was so much more than just a walking tour. It felt like Damian didn‘t just show us the city, he shared with us - like a friend proudly introducing you to their favourite places. The atmosphere was super relaxed. No rushing, no stiff lectures. Just laughter and good vibes. It really felt less like a tour and more like a walk with someone you’ve known for years. And the local food recommendations were definitely one of the highlights as well. I left not just with memories, but with a feeling of connection. 10/10 - would definitely recommend!!!”
“In een kleine groep rondgeleid door Ohrid. Veel plekken gezien waar anders niet snel komt. Erg leuke tips ontvangen voor verdere activiteiten en eten/drinken.”
“If you want something authentic and low-key, this is the tour to take. The group was small, the stops were lovely, and the baklava was unforgettable.”
“Great tour to understand more of Ohrid and Macedonian culture. Damian is a super nice and friendly guy who happily loves sharing more of his passion for Ohrid! Wish I had done it before !”
“就像戴米安在这个导览游的描述中说得那样,这是一个五人组成的超小导览游,更像是私人专属导览游一般。 我们在落日余晖下参观了奥赫里德古城的大街小巷,听戴米安讲述了大量有趣的故事和他自己在此成长的经历,同时兼顾游客喜欢的部分以及和本地人生活息息相关的内容。在一个半小时左右的导览游中,他巧妙地设计穿插了风景、建筑、历史、文化乃至值得选择的旅游纪念品,环环相扣,并没有任何沉默无聊的时刻。同时,他安排了专门的时间让参加导览游的五个人自我介绍、互相认识,并且互相交换了许多旅行的见闻。 在导览游的最后,他甚至自己请客,带我们吃了本地最正宗的Baklava,喝了很好喝的茶。这在以前我去过的Guruwalk中是从来没有过的体验,他真的非常友好、用心,作为一个本地人热情地向各国的游客展示奥赫里德这个世界自然文化双遗产的方方面面。 这是我迄今为止,最棒的Guruwalk体验。就像他说的一样,这次导览游更像是朋友带领的原汁原味、深入当地生活的散步,友好而专业。 As Damian described in this guided tour, it was an extremely small tour group of no more than five people, almost like a private tour. We explored the streets and alleys of the ancient city of Ohrid under the glow of the sunset, listening to Damian share numerous interesting stories and his own experiences growing up there. He skillfully balanced the parts that tourists enjoy with aspects closely related to the lives of the locals. In the approximately 90-minute tour, he seamlessly wove together elements of scenery, architecture, history, culture, and even tips on which souvenirs are worth choosing, ensuring there were no dull or silent moments. He also set aside time for the five participants to introduce themselves, get to know each other, and exchange many interesting travel experiences. At the end of the tour, he even treated us to the most authentic local Baklava and some delicious tea, something I’ve never experienced on any other Guruwalk tour before. He was incredibly friendly and attentive, passionately showcasing every aspect of Ohrid, the world heritage city, to visitors from around the globe. This was by far my best Guruwalk experience.”
“Damian was an incredible guide through the city. He keeps his groups very small and does a great job of getting everyone involved in some friendly discussions and the tour really feels like touring with some friends. He ended the tour with some food and tea, and names some restaurants that were very close by. We followed his instructions and had one of the best meals on our journey in Macedonia. Great guide, can’t recommend his tour enough!”
“One of the best city tours I have been on. Damian feels more like a friend than a guide. Has great local knowledge. Really incorportaes you with the community and takes time to get to know the people on the tour. Thank you so much!”
“Damian is great! Knowledgeable and his English is perfect! Highly recommend”
“a very casual and small group setting optimised for open conversation. different to the usual tours. highly recommend!”
“Excellent walking tour; Damian went above and beyond expectations both in terms of the group size (restricted to 5) and the level of service provided - really exceptional!”
“Great tour. Damian is charming and knowledgable and showed us the best of lovely Ohrid. We especially enjoyed walking in the evening and in a small group. We finished the tour with baclava and tea - a perfect end! Highly recommended!”
“Aanrader!”
“An unforgettable day! From sunrise over the lake to stargazing from ancient ruins, this tour packed in so much beauty and wonder. The guide's insider knowledge meant zero crowds at key sites. Chatting with locals gave me real insight into Ohrid life.”
“Wow! I stayed in Ohrid for a week and I WISH I'd done Damian's tour the first day I arrived. Seeing this town through his eyes is such a treat. Plus, he literally treated us to tea and sweets, which was awesome. Damian seems like the kind of guy I'd be friends with, which was also a very nice feeling. It's a small group and as a result we all got to know each other, which was another nice bonus. Great job Damian!”
“Damian has been a good tour guide not only because he knew a lot about the city and is an open minded guy but also he knew how to make a good experience in a short shightseen tour. We visit almost every important place of the old town of Ohrid talking about history, culture, traditions, languaje and also about the country. We also try some local sweets that were amazing. He also recomended to me some cultural stuff such as some concerts that at taking place there and nice restaurant/pubs.”
“Coole Insider-Tour! Inklusive kleiner Überraschungen.”
“Beautiful, fun and informative tour. Full of surprises and social interaction. Very recommended!”
“When someone suggested I sign up for a free walking tour in Ohrid, I was kinda sceptical, especially because I had already seen a lot of the city and didn't feel like I'd get much out of it. But damn was I wrong. I learned and experienced so much, it was like I knew nothing about Ohrid before this. Damian absolutely nailed it and I think it's fair to say everyone on the tour loved it. I've been on a lot of walking tours in Europe (free and paid), and I don't remember ever writing a review. This time I just had to.”
“Le tour avec Damian était génial ! Le meilleur Free tour de ma vie. Nous avons parcouru la ville et vu pleins de monuments, églises et jolis lieux à voir à Ohrid. Damian nous a partagé ses meilleurs conseils de locaux, que ce soit les restaurants, lieux pour sortir, endroits pour contempler un beau paysage, ou encore pour manger une baklava ou un thé. En effet, de manière exceptionnelle, Damian nous a offert les baklavas et le thé dans les meilleurs commerces de la ville !! Cela est génial, car nous avons désormais pleins de lieux et adresser à visiter pendant le reste de notre séjour. Damian est une personne formidable qui sait introduire un côté social, ce n'est pas une simple visite mais un réel échange où nous avons rencontré des personnes très sympathiques. Damian est très fort pour faire en sorte que tout le monde communique avec tout le monde durant la visite. C'était vraiment génial, merci du fond du coeur !”
“Very passionate about Ohrid and you can tell he knows the place well. Also very good sense of humour. Overall a very enjoyable experience.”
“The tour provided a fantastic overview of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Damian was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Ohrid, offering insightful commentary and answering all our questions with enthusiasm. The tour took us through the winding streets of the old town, showcasing beautiful landmarks such as the Church of St. Sophia, the Ancient Theatre, and the iconic hidden view of Ohrid (just for locals). We managed to avoid most of the crowded area which was a very big plus. Each stop was well-chosen and presented in an engaging manner. The pace of the tour was comfortable, allowing us to fully absorb the surroundings and take plenty of photos. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ohrid. Note: Tip well, the guy is worth it 😉”
“Thank you Damian! Everything in the tour was great!!!”
“Such an amazing experience and this is definitely the best tour and tour guide as well, that you can get! Damjan was the most polite, kind and friendly person, full of interesting stories and entertaining guide during the whole walk. He is also very smart guy, knows many other information and was open to discuss for any additional questions that we all had. This was not my first time in Ohrid and I already have seen many of the places, but this walk was extra interesting and fun. Thank you, Damjan for this experience and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Do not miss it !”
“Very nice tour! Because of the small group size it is very lovely and personal, beautiful walk and some nice stops. Damian is very kind and knowledgeable. Thank you for the great walk around Ohrid!”
“Very surprising, good story, knows a lot, doesn’t mind sharing his opinion if asked. Liked the tour a lot.”
“Very nice evening walk around Ohrid. You will see spots worth exploring, get food, drinks and shopping recommendations and have a chance to ask as many questions as you want. Pleasant way of spending an evening in an interesting company.”
“Damien is new at walking tours but it’s clear he was incredibly thoughtful and considerate when creating his. He gives more of an authentic “locals” perspective than any other commercial free walking tour I’ve been on. Comparable to places where tourism isn’t industrialized yet. it’s clear he didn’t attempt to copy a template for a walking tour and did his own thing which is why I loved it so much. He is generous with his time and appears to be doing this out of the goodness of his heart. It’s clear he’s really concerned for the well being of his guests and wants to treat them. Many of the stops avoided the crowded tourist destinations and focused on the hidden gems of Ohrid. He’s also conscious of the group size so the tour can be more intimate and he can spend time engaging with his guests. He felt more like catching up with a friend, rather than a tour guide. It’s truly unlike anything I’ve seen in the tourism industry. He’s one of the good ones and I highly recommend you sign up for his tour to get a real locals perspective.”
“Sorprendida gratamente con la visita a pie de Ohrid, mostrando las principales atracciones y además brindando la posibilidad de probar comida típica lugareña. Muy buena experiencia, lo recomiendo 100%”

“Great experience! The tour was like walking with a friend. It reminded me of the free tours from years ago, where they made more of an effort to make it interesting. it's not the typical free tour. For me it is a must in Ohrid.”
“Very informative, pleasant, enjoyable, friendly and well spoken.”
“An eye-opening journey! This tour delivered on its promise of insider access. Our small group felt like we were exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a typical guide. Left with a deep appreciation for Ohrid's rich history and culture.”
