This was a great out of doors experience. We went to 3 different sites, all with there each unique scenery and things that made them special. We also had the perfect weather for this hike, temps in the 50's. It does get chilly up at the top, so layer up. Our guide was Andrea and she was outstanding. She is from the area and knows anything and everything about the sites. Be prepared to walk a lot (I got 20K steps) and the second hike is uphill, so wear comfy shoes or hiking shoes. I would definitely do this tour again.

It was an unforgettable day trip with a beautifully thought-out and well-structured program. Everything was organized down to the smallest detail, and I came away with so many wonderful impressions. The bus was comfortable, there was water provided, and the overall pace of the trip was perfectly balanced and relaxed — which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A huge thank you to our driver Daniil for the smooth and seamless transfer, and to our guide Renate for her excellent communication and highly professional, well-coordinated work. I would highly recommend this experience — it was truly unforgettable!

What a wonderful excursion!Despite the very mixed weather, we enjoyed this day to the fullest. The organization and execution were perfect. Many thanks to our two guides, Josip and Barbara. We had booked the tour in English because all the other options were fully booked, but that didn't detract from the experience at all. We would do it again anytime!
