Rock Climbing
Nino is an epic guide. Clearly incredibly experienced and with the capability to adapt to your needs. Gave me tons and tons of confidence, taught me new skills and most of all felt very safe in his hands. Also just generally a nice guy, super easy to get along with. 10/10 could not rate Nino higher as a guide. The best man for the job in my eyes.
We went on a sailing and climbing tour in Croatia and visited various beautiful places in nature. It was very interesting and fun to sail the sea, and the ship was quite comfortable and luxurious. I would say that a sailboat is the perfect place for the first time on a boat. We climbed every day at the best possible climbing locations in Croatia, went on a hike near the sea at a place called ‘Pustinja Blaca’ and had a wonderful experience. Our guides tried their best to provide us with a good organization every day and taught us a lot. I’m really glad I met such cool people and got the chance to hang out with them. They are an amazing crew and I would repeat this experience any time.
Lorenzo, Patrick and Francesco took this experience over the top for me. I was the least experienced climber in the group (having never climbed outdoors prior to this) and my experience was a full as those of my fellow travelers. I also was really impressed with how F and P set a gracious and respectful tone among what was essentially a group of strangers. I was the oldest person on the boat by a couple years and the youngest is 40 years younger than I am so there was quite a spread. It was an absolutely unique, challenging, and inspiring time. Seriously considering Kalymnos fall 2025!!
I would totally recommend the Vertical Sailing Tour experience to any climbers, from the most passionate and advanced to the beginners and the ones that are curious to discover this amazing sport in the best way possible, on a sailing boat ! The team is very professional but above all fun, the best mix to have an incredible climbing experience in the best corners of Europe !
