Positive vibes and great professionals - The organization was amazing and the guides extremly helpful, friendly and professional. They took care of everything, from picking us up at the airport, to all transportation, accommodation and food during the activities. We where a big group and not everyone was able to participate in all activities so they would adapt and change plans and look for alternatives so that everyone could enjoy and have fun. We felt like part of their family and I will definetly contact them again if I'm back in Bosnia one day. Thank you for everything, you made our trip special.
