Over 5 hours, we zipped through the beautiful, rolling countryside of olive groves and vineyards, with incredible coastal views, and through small villages accessible by local traffic only. We stopped at a family-run olive oil producer for a tasting, toured a small village on foot, and had a fabulous lunch at a restaurant overlooking the coast. Dejan was an excellent host/tour guide; his personal touch added to the experience and safety. He even sent us photos and a video of our adventure after the tour. Overall this was an amazing experience, exceeding our expectations! Highly, highly recommend!”
