The tour is absolutely spectacular from start to finish. The organisation and communication with the hosts was smooth, the welcome meeting and detailed briefing was in person, which came to me as a big, but very positive surprise.. All instructions were very clear and we got to use the navigation app as well as the actual physical map. As first timers taking part in a self guided tour, to set our minds at ease we connected with the host via WhatsApp and we remained in contact with him for all our questions and concerns. Luckily, we did not have many. The hiking area is breathtaking, the route is not too easy, but a nice challenge for someone who likes to hike and is reasonably fit. The views and the surroundings of every step are unforgettable and I would gladly recommend it to everyone!

Magnificent country. The hike was well organised, a few spots the trail hikes signs were broken, but that's not a Touradar problem. The accommodation was all good, the meals, especially the breakfasts were great. We are coming back!

We had a great trip to the Julian Alps. Life Adventures was very helpful. This is a good trek for experienced hikers, not beginners, as there are some days with unstable footing and exposed cliffs. We had a great time!
