5.00It was a wonderful experience. Despite the weather conditions, the company held the tour confirms contracted despite the reduced number of people. Also the guide Hrvoje was super attentive giving all the information and support throughout the tour. Also did the whole tour in Portuguese, which the guide speaks perfectly. Thanks Hrvoje for everything.
