I wanted an excursion different from the other touring of museums and historical places that were part of our Croatian holiday. Z was an awesome guide and helped us feel safe and immersed in our kayaking and biking tour of the islands. I highly recommend this tour for those looking for beautiful views, active participation and quiet day outdoors and away from the crowds”
