The destination is worth the trip is beautiful, the shuttle pick-up at the hotel on time accompanied me to the point where they passed to pick me up with the big bus, two guides available both English and Russian explained very well all the historical geographical part of the places we went to visit, all very well organized both stops and lunch

Very relaxing day island hopping with breaks to swim off the boat… There was a chance to do some water sport. Lunch was basic but fine. The staff aboard couldn’t do enough for us and a fun day was had by all!!!

Very picturesque with plenty of historic buildings there, the seas around the island are crystal clear, good value for money and its good for family excursions

Amazing tour n guider was there must try I hated the lunch and breakfast served

Superb day but too many swim stops. Could have spent more time elsewhere.
