Marko provided us with the best experience we could have asked for! We didn’t have much of an idea of where we wanted to go, and asked Marko to show us his favourite spots and best recommendations. We had a wonderful day, it really was the best day of our entire holiday. Clean boat, very polite and stocked well with refreshments. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. We booked this trip as we had already done another boat trip, but wanted a more luxury and personalised experience. Marko ensured that we had that we had the best time. (Apologies to Marko for this very late review, we visited in June)

Would definitely recommend this tour! Ivan was awesome. He had great knowledge of the city and history and made the 3hr kayak tour fun with a good pace. Also the thought of wine and crackers at the end helped keep the hanger at bay.

A view you won’t forget. Reminds me of lake Como. The guide was excellent in explaining what to do and introductions.

Interesting and great to do. Good photo opportunities and guide was great.

Driver (Gabrielle??) Was excel and very knowledgeable and informative.
