Had an enjoyable time on this tour. Elvis was professional, active in communications and was out guide during our time in Sarajevo, where he was able to introduce us to the most interesting spots of history. Amer our drive for the whole trip was a reliable, experience, flexible and fun person to be with for the entire trip. Overall, the experience was great and wonderful, with visits to historical cities and locations of significance. In the same journey, we saw one of the most beautiful sceneries. Particularly memorable was the stay just next to a waterfall, fantastic!
- Zagreb to Dubrovnik: Parties & Plitvice Lakes
Although the itinerary kept us busy, there was a good balance of activities, optional activities and free time. Being part of a group made the experience really good fun and our CEO was excellent. The people definitely made the trip. I enjoyed seeing so much of the country and the variety of city, park and beach that we were able to experience throughout the trip. Our CEO organised great group meals and the standard of the hostels we stayed in was very high.
