    Our leader, Jovicaar, MADE the trip. He was incredibly caring and thoughtful, as well as fun, personable and knowledgeable, filled with great stories to tell. The scenery was spectacular. The choice of Croatian islands was superb.

    No once in a lifetime moments but the walk out of Kotor ( day 1 swapped to day 2) was good and the last day walk on Korcula was very pretty but bizarrely understated in the notes and by the guide

    Walk along the ridge up from Kotor bay with views to both sides was good. Walk along the coast to Korcula too.

    The main walk in Montenegro was great, hot but worth it, with great views on both sides from the ridge. Kotor Bay and Kotor town were lovely with relatively few tourists (much better than Dubrovnik). Korcula island was also a highlight. The sea everywhere was wonderfully clear (not like the UK!). It would have been nice to spend more time on Korcula though I'm not sure how this could be managed in the time available and with restrictions on boat crossings etc.
