The guides Gabriella and Ante were fantastic and really made the day special. For being a pretty full day excursion it was great value. All the stops were great and the wine tasting as an addition was perfect. The stop in town was wonderful and the waterfalls will always be amazing and a must do if you’re visiting Split. Especially when the wine tasting is first I would say this is a great option for solo travelers as well as groups.

Gabriella shared a lot of great information about the different towns and activities, she even went above and beyond, letting us know we could contact her anytime throughout our stay in Split if we needed any recommendations or further guidance. 10/10 would recommend!
