We had the most awesome, informative tour ever. Our guide Bojan was out of this world and changed my mind about guided tours. He was so polite, respectful, cheeky and overflowing with information that no question stomped him. He had the times right on to the second and perfectly timed all of the stops to make sure we had toilet breaks, food and souvenirs and of course the best spots to take the photos.

As a relationship counsellor I found it particularly poignant. I think it was well done and a remarkable concept - was amazed at how the contributions represented countries from so far and wide. It was thoroughly immersive.

Memorable experience. It is really worth visiting this picrurisque scenery.

The trip was worth the money.. The guide was also very informative...

Amazing trip. My best time during my holdiays in Croatia,
