We were a small group of five people with the Tour Guide so felt like being in a family. The route we followed every day was hiding beautiful surprises with stunning views from Mountains,Rivers…

    I survived

    I have to say that this was a very nice trip. A lot of beautiful scenery on the way while hiking. Tour Guide was very friendly and knowlegable. He shared the information with us very clearly. One star less for the food that was very poor for breakfast and with no options for people with…
