“Great tour! We visited 3 beaches for swimming, the beautiful blue cave, and a lunch stop in Vis. Because we didn’t have to wait long for the Blue Cave, we had a great lunch stop in Vis, which had many affordable options. We honestly did not like the stop in Palmizana, which had many overpriced touristy bars, and we would have preferred a stop at another beach, but we still enjoyed the trip overall.”
