Wonderful and memorable hike - The day trip included several stops on the south coast. Thanks to the great experience of the guide Nikola, who illustrated the places visited with wealth of information and details, we could fully appreciate the day.
The organization was perfect and punctual, both by the agency and by the guide.
During the hike there was the unexpected snowstorm that stranded us on the beach of Vik. This unexpected event, however, was pleasantly experienced also thanks to Nikola’s spirit of initiative. In fact, she kept her spirits up while we were stopped in a beach bar, and was very skilled and cautious driving despite the objective weather difficulties.
Highly recommended!
