MTI Travels met my expectations and beyond which made this 2 day tour worthwhile. Every detail was carved out to my interest. The food was spectacular.. and they introduced me to the delicacies of the region like the Koran fish which can be bought only in this region. Bledar Shapplo personally takes his clients to these places so expect quality treatment.

If it were posible to give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. I have just completed a 15 day tour covering Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia, and Kosovo with the tour company Visit Macedonia. This was an unbelievable experience! I am incredibly satisfied with the quality and professionalism of this company - every day was carefully thought out and well planned. My wishes and preferences were always the priority and Stefan (tour coordinator and guide) was flexible and able to change the itinerary in a moments notice if I expressed interest in something. Stefan paid attention to my interests and was able to make helpful suggestions and help me make the most out of my trip. Stefan and his daughter, Sofija, are both very knowledgeable about the region and were able to give me a fantastic introductory education and answer all of my questions. Traveling is not always easy or comfortable, but Stefan and Sofija made my trip as easy and effortless as possible - I felt like I was so taken care of and in such good hands. I had 15 days full of wonderful experiences and great conversation. If I wanted company, I had company. If I wanted solitude and to explore on my own, I had it. Overall, traveling with Stefan and Sofija was like traveling with friends, not like traveling with strangers. I trusted them fully and we had a lot of fun. I would 100% recommend them to literally anyone who wants to visit this part of the world. No other company will offer you this level of attention and care, I can promise that. I felt totally spoiled and have no regrets about my tour with this company.

Not sure why this was cancelled as it’s a stunningly clear sunny day in Ohrid. Due to the extremely short notice is cancellation we have been unable to arrange any other trip or hike today. Would not recommend this company.
