Wonderful tour experience! Great photo ops! - We had a private tour with Tiho’s son Buk (or maybe Vuk?) He was excellent and drove carefully and told us much about the area. He was also extremely kind and considerate when I experienced a bit of a problem while on tour. He went out of his way to see to my comfort. I can’t express my appreciation adequately. He is a delightful young man and we wish him much success in the future. We really enjoyed our tour! (Reviewed at: 2024-11-06)
