Friendly, dedicated tour available spontaneously in German instead of English, we really enjoyed it
This was a small group tour, as it turned out it was just 3 of us. A great day with Dean. Communication beforehand was excellent and he was at the meeting point at the given time. Dean is very knowledgeable and a great tour guide and showed us all they key things. The van was clean and modern and the whole trip was really easy and would highly recommend Dean if you are looking for a tour guide in the area.
This was a small group- maximum of six people, but there were only four of us the day of our tour, which made the experience fantastic! Dean is a very knowledgeable tour guide and very personable. He went above and beyond to make sure that our day was perfect! The van is new and very clean. I appreciated how careful he was driving. Just book this tour, you will not be disappointed

Dean is a delightful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. The towns on the Slovian coast are charming. Dean grew up here and is emersed in the history and culture. He treated us to several food specialties and we tried wonderful liquors. At our final stop we tasted three excellent wines and meat and cheese at a great tavern. We highly recommend Dean and this trip!
