Nikola put together the most amazing trip to Croatia for our family. Every detail was outstanding: the hotels, the terrific guides, the drivers, the tips for restaurants and additional sightseeing. We loved every aspect and can't wait to work with Nikola again on a future vacation (Venice?) His daily communications and incredibly delightful way of interacting also added to the experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our Croatia & Montenegro trip with our group! 🇭🇷🇲🇪 Everything was so thoughtfully organized, and every detail came together perfectly. The itinerary was well-balanced, the activities were spot on, and everyone truly had an unforgettable experience.
Our guides were outstanding. Ina, our guide in Split, was fantastic — knowledgeable, flexible, and connected so well with the group. The cooking class in Split was one of the highlights — such a fun, authentic, and hands-on way to experience Croatian culture and cuisine.
The Dubrovnik Old City tour was excellent, and Danijela did a great job bringing the city’s history to life. The farm-to-table experience near Dubrovnik was another standout — delicious food, warm hospitality, and a true taste of local life.
We also loved the Oyster experience on the way to Dubrovnik — fresh, scenic, and so memorable — and our visit to Krka National Park was absolutely breathtaking. The waterfalls and nature there were just spectacular!
Thomaslav was incredible during our Kotor walking tour, combining knowledge, humor, and charm. Honestly, all of our guides were fantastic and made the trip extra special.
The hotels were also wonderful — comfortable, well-located, and ideal for groups.
Thank you again for all your help and support in planning this trip. It was truly a memorable journey, and we’re already looking forward to organizing more adventures in Croatia in the future! 🌍✨

One of the highlights of the trip was spending some time in person with her in Opatija. Oue guides were knowledgable and responsive, especially Vid in Slovenia, Anna in Split, and Stasa in Dubrvnik. There were so many highlights of the trip, it is difficult to remember them all. They include the private oyster and mussels lunch and many other meals - especially seafood, such as Puntulina and a restaurant on the island of Vis; there were trips to caves and castles; fascinating little hotels in the old towns of historic cities; and much more. We highly reccomend Marija to anyone who wishes to enjoy the wonders and joys of this region of the world.

Our group all came from different directions so there was lots of airport pick ups and we appreciated that. The biking routes were fantastic with many picturesque views of the sea. I loved visiting the olive oil museum and had a fabulous lunch there. Another highlight was the lunch on Mljet. My favorite island was Korcula. Our guide, Borna , was great. Always waiting for us at strategic points and always making sure we had water and snacks. Plus he had a great sense humor and great music. He made it fun. He solved problems like when the navigation app was not working and when our day was threatened by rain. Overall the planning and service was great. I’d love to do another adventure with them.

The hotel is spectacular. There are amazing views from the lobby and the rooms. The staff went out of their way to remember us and be helpful to us. We had to catch a very early flight and the staff made sure we had breakfast to go and a bellman to help us with our luggage. The location is not walkable but there’s easy access to reliable bus transportation and we never had trouble calling an uber. There is a huge indoor pool, a nice sized outdoor pool and a fantastic beach club. The breakfast options were great with a huge variety and delicious smoothies, coffee and juices. The room was big, clean, and comfortable.

He gave us a personalized tour of the area and even introduced to his family. This day really made us feel special. Robi made our vacation spectacular. We could not have asked for a better time.

Our chef was super accommodating to our dietary requests. My son and husband are not seafood eaters but the chef easily planned a menu around that. He took us to the markets, taught us stuff about the food and culture of Croatia and taught us three new dishes. He walked our son through bread making and taught me how to descale, gut, and cook a fresh fish. My husband, the more experienced cook in the family, even learned a thing or two. This class was one of the highlights of the trip.

The chef made a point to cater to our needs. We enjoyed the experience as family bonding time.

Our chef was awesome. Taught us lots of new things about cooking, shopping in the area, wine, the culture, and more.

It was easy to find the chef and the walk around town was very interesting. The chef even went out of his way to show us the football stadium because he knew my husband was interested.

Antonia and Nikola were fantastic! This was our first visit to Croatia so we needed “boots on the ground” to identify and schedule the best places to see the country and to arrange accommodations that met our needs. The process couldn’t have been smoother.

They also were very responsive to our needs to make changes on the fly when we needed them.

I definitely recommend them for anyone planning to visit Croatia.

But we made it work and we know that is no one’s fault. I would highly recommend using Robbi as a travel agent and your guide. His portion included a great trip to Ston and oyster tasting. Thank you again for everything!!!

Our experience included 4 couples for 6 nights out with Robbi and his first mate Dorio . Initially we had a shaky weather forecast however the motto of this group is to go no matter what and we can't be more thrilled. While we started out with a little rain, Robbi adeptly moved our group through the day to make sure we were under cover at just the moment the weather hit. Better than that, we were wine tasting watching the big storm move in. From that point forward we had beautiful weather . Robbi showed us the best spots for a swim or hike, best food in the small fishing villages and he knew exactly when a rain storm was going to impact our bike ride. (We literally landed at Robbi's spot for lunch as the clouds opened up. )
Robbi has superb talent in remembering and telling jokes, while also demonstrating a deep knowledge of the history of Croatia, the land and sea.
Our experience cannot be complete without mentioning the work of Dorio who made coffee every morning, kept the boat safe and in his own rite a comedian.

The 7 day cycling trip on the Coast and surrounding islands turned into a "trip of a lifetime" experience. All of the logistics were taken care of, accommodations were lovely and ferry bookings were seamless. We started with a group phone call to Robi early in the year and he went over what we could expect from his company and he delivered.

Borna was our support for our week of cycling and he was fantastic! Borna is thoughtful, kind, funny and a character. He made those tough hill climbs easier just with his vivacious personality. The cycling was a workout but the views at the top of the climbs were worth it, and then there is always the downhill reward.

It is obvious that Robi has built relationships in the regions that they offer tours. Those relationships made our trip very unique and one of a kind. Our introduction to locals, their food and their culture made for a unique experience as well as vising UNESCO heritage sites. We weren't following a large tour group, our trip was designed for that personal experience. Robi was in touch daily via whats app with recommendations for restaurants and history for each locale. We also had the chance to meet him in person, which again confirmed our decision to tour with him. Thank you Robi & Borna!!

Huge hotel . Around 500 rooms. Our room 3049 was about a quarter mile to the elevator. The room was very nice but the view of the beach was obscured by shrubs. The view overlooking the Adriatic and the sunsets was great. The beach was quite nice and the staff was helpful.
