“Elvir crushed it. What a great day! It was 92-F crazy hot (August) and his very classy nice ride was super cool with A/C & water provided. His phone took better shots than mine, so he gently took over and got THE MONEY SHOTS… especially the epic high ridge looking out over all of Dubrovnik. Holy moly.” - Reviewed on 2024-08-14
