our guide Joseph really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight ... For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Blew our dubrovnik one out of the water, and handy if youre short on time, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.

our guide Sofia was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Used it for our summer trip so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and came away with 200+ photos. Would book again no question, no joke

our guide Kenji had so many stories and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. First thing in the morning so it wasnt too busy. Over easter break, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question, loved it
