“Amazing tour. As a solo traveler I booked the tour for comfort and I’m very glad I did. The check points were very clear and easy to find but we had enough freedom to explore at our own pace also, which was lovely. My guide (Nike) set up a group chat for ease of communication which was a great idea for the group and showed care for customers. She was very approachable and full of knowledge about Croatia and especially the nationals Holliday to commemorate the war and attack on Croatia in the 1990’s. Overall a great tour , highly recommend of your in Croatia!”

“We appreciated included refreshments like breakfast and lunch on modern boat with good music in the background. As mentioned in other review(s) the 1st stop in Kornati could be longer as we rushed down the hill. Other than that the views were really amazing in both stops.
