“I really enjoyed the itinerary. The scenery was excellent, the hotels choices were good as well.The hotel in Split (hotel Bellevue) on Day 1 was a bit rough around the edges but it was in a fantastic location. All the other hotels were great choices and great locations too.I did find the last day of cycling too easy and too short. This was only 20k and it should have been at least 40k for a level 3 trip.”

“A really fabulous trip with all the best elements for a super holiday - fantastic country full to the brim with history, culture, folklore, scenery and landscape and a good dose of just the right activity to keep you active. Plus, a first class guide and a great group. All in all, a winner.”

“We were extremely lucky with the weather (Aug), however, this did result in some of the hiking being rather more strenuous than anticipated as it was really warm most days - take lots of water!The trip was brilliant, highlights every day, but the bears (in the wild and at the sanctuary) definitely made the trip!!!Our guide, Thomas, couldn't have been more interesting (and funny) and extremely knowledgeable about the fauna, flora and history - simply the best!Villa Hermani was a hit too; friendly & helpful, good food and very reasonably priced drinks.Highly recommended trip.”
