“Great day trip to Krka and Skradin. The waterfalls were beautiful, and the wine tasting was enjoyable as well. We only had an hour in Skradin, and several places were closed (likely due to off-season). I had expected a bit more time to get lunch there, but I got a quick kebab. Sonja was really nice and helpful throughout the tour.”
