Summary:
I have now been to Vis now 3 times, and each time I have treated myself to a trip through Paiz Travel – and I return again and again with good reason!
This time it was on a military Jeep adventure in May 2025, guided by the incomparable Tony and his charming dog Benny. And let me just say it like it is: it was not just a trip – it was an experience.
Tony is a true storyteller. He listens, adapts, and manages to make even the most complicated military facts both exciting and entertaining. We went around in the jeep to hidden bunkers, old bases and viewpoints etc. that blew our legs away – and all the way we were followed by Benny's wagging enthusiasm and big personality in a little flying dog body.
It was geeky in a cool way, but also fun, relaxed and down to earth – just the way We like it.
Tony created the perfect balance between serious storytelling and laughter in the sun – and Benny? He stole the show several times! We really recommend this cool Duo
So yes – 3rd time with Paiz Travel, and 3rd time I am 100% satisfied.
Paiz travel and their staff just know how to make unforgettable day trips on Vis.
Can only say: see you again, Paiz Travel!
Best regards from Pernille & Thomas Copenhagen, Denmark
