Not bad but not great, the bit at the end nobody expects we like but came away with 200+ photos only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Jonas really knew their stuff and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Blew our dubrovnik one out of the water, and on a rainy sunday. Would book again no question.
