Karin is a great guide! The tour is both entertaining and educational. The submarine bunkers and gun emplacements are fascinating and Karim does a great job of explaining the functionality and engineering. The views if the island also provide great photo ops. Definitely recommend.

Kareem was very knowledgeable and passionate about Croatian history and the myriad of military conflicts over the years on Vis. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The sights were amazing!

The itinerary said we’d...

Jennifer_T, Jul 2026

The itinerary said we’d visit Fort George, but it would have been nice to go inside and see the interior. Visitors should be prepared for a rough ride in the old Land Rovers and ours SERIOUSLY needed its brakes repaired. The highlights were the scenery and the views, as well as going in the sub tunnels. If the tunnels “belong to the people,” someone should take the time to clean up and prevent graffiti. The things I could have done without was that our guide was constantly smoking, even in poorly ventilated spaces and tunnels. Additionally, we liked the history but could have done without his strong socialist political views and criticisms of all things democracy. He seemed a little too nostalgic about military dictatorship. I’d recommend the tour, but if asked, I would choose a different guide.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Dear Jeniffer, we are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our tour guide Neno. He is a veteran in the military tour for more than 15 years and he is doing it with big passion, unfortunately sometimes he gets carried away in his storys, but that is not what he thinks in general or what people think over here, it is just a story about Yugoslavia wich was finished a long time ago :) Regardless for the tunels - they are abondend by the military 25 years ago and unfortunately no one is looking after it. We as a agancy organise the cleaning of the tunels before every season, bus as you can see the tourists and others dont respect our job over there :(. Everything other is above our authority. However, the brakes are 100% good, but keep in mind when the jeep goes off road it is possible that part of the dust comes beetween the pads and that adds the noise to the breaking part. We are very sorry that you were not complity satifisfied because that is always our primery goal. Kind regards Teuta agency .

Great Way to See Vis Island and Learn About Its Historical Significance

James_S, Jun 2026

This was a great tour to learn about the history of Vis Island and explore some fascinating sites. Our guide, Karim, was outstanding. There were nine people in the group and we had two vehicles with plenty of space. The tour included an interesting range of sites. From Fort George (built at the beginning of the 19th century) to an airfield built by the Allies in 1944, to underground tunnels built by Tito in the 1950s. Karim had lots of interesting facts about the sites we visited and the high points provided great views of the island. Would definitely recommend this tour.
