Great Tour!

The company was easy to work with! We had some tinny issues and they could not have been more accommodating. David was a great tour guide.

Practically perfect day tour

Vjeran and Youssef were an excellent pair. The driving was very smooth. I had zero motion sickness which is a reason I often avoid busses, but today's drive was purely enjoyable. Vieran's commentary on geological and political history was fascinating and put each landmark in perspective. Even with a delayed start beyond the control of driver or guide, they made up the time without skipping any of the stops and letting us all wander, eat and use the facilities at a reasonable pace. It was a practically perfect day tour for a family with children, teens and adults.

Experience

It was very beautiful. Driver and guide Vjeren were kind, helpfull and interesting. The best part was seeing waterfalls.

Choose the level of your adventure!

One of the things that might not be obvious about this tour, is you can walk as little as .5 miles or as much as 4 miles. The choice is entirely up to you, and you could have essentially the same experience.
