I was honestly a bit worried because I’m not super fit, but this tour turned out amazing. The landscapes, hidden villages, and local food just made me forget about tired legs. Every stop was worth it, it felt like the more I saw, the less I cared about the effort. Best way to explore the real Dalmatia!
