The three guides, Thomas, Lucy, Anthea were some of the best tour guides we have experienced in all our travels. Professional, knowledgeable and personable. Croatia by itself would have been enough to satisfy, they made it so much more interesting.
Anna Maria was about as good as it gets as a tour planner and very flexible as we made adjustments to our plan prior to the trip, and very accessible during the stay. WE had a couple of minor issue and she was able to resolve them very quickly.

My trip was back in August and I’m sorry that this review has taken so long to write, but the fact that I am writing it now is a testament to how truly wonderful Sarah is and how much gratitude I feel towards her for designing an amazing itinerary and also giving us a ton of support throughout the whole trip.

First, since this was post pandemic last august, airlines were just a complete disaster and unfortunately our situation was no different. We had delays AND cancelled flights in both directions which of course messes with your itinerary. While no one likes to be in that situation, having Sarah as our contact made everything run so much more smoothly and made me feel so much better. Every time something did not go according to plan I would shoot her a text and miraculously everything would get resolved. She immediately adjusted our itinerary to make sure we didn’t miss the things that were important to us. Because she had paid such close attention to what I told her I wanted, I didn’t even have to ask her! She just understood. I had another incident where I hurt my back and had to cancel one of the tours we had booked at the last minute and Sarah immediately found me an alternative that would suit us better at no extra charge. She really goes above and beyond and solves problems instantly!

Now the trip itself was just magic. I wish I could go back. I’ve never seen water so blue, and the people were lovely, and the history is rich and the food is just spectacular!! I was pretty ignorant about Croatian food and wine but that was a real shame because every dinner was fantastic and I really fell in love with the white wine. This was my ideal vacation because Croatia truly allows you to have any kind of trip you desire. There are beaches, boats, natural parks with gorgeous hiking and views, cities, cool architecture, history, wine country, Michelin star restaurants and the list just goes on.

This beautiful country should absolutely be on your bucket list and I think I will be back many times. Sarah is the perfect person to guide you through it. She knows every region and every activity and she’s incredibly competent, responsive and just an overall people person! Thank you so much for your support Sarah!

The planning process was very easy and Nikola was very fast to reply to emails/calls and adapt our itinerary to meet our travel goals. He was able to provide local expertise for itinerary (Zagreb - Plitvice - Split - Hvar - Korcula - Dubrovnik). My husband and I are very experienced travellers but were a little nervous travelling with our three kids (age 5, 3 and 10 months) to Europe in the high season with COVID reaching endemic levels. Once we landed in Zagreb our trip was so smooth and easy. Nikola had arranged for all airport transfers, all accommodations (which were beautiful and all very central), breakfast each morning to make things easy with the kids, and all private transfers. He was always available if we had any questions and to adapt to any unexpected needs. It felt like Kim Kim went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime and our kids had a blast!!!! Thank you, and we can't wait to plan another trip soon!

Highlights of our trip: oyster tasting, hikes in the national parks, interesting castles, Mostar visit, Ston wine-tasting, Split harbour and Dubrovnik walls.
Bruno went above and beyond in every aspect of our stay. As a dedicated guide, he made our trip personal, informative, and varied. Bruno passed along his love for and excitement about the country of Croatia. Goran with the boat trip to the Elaphiti Islands was also perfect as a guide, historian and conversationist. Our thanks to Robbie and both of these guides who managed our Croatian itinerary and visit so enjoyably.

This was the only part of the trip that we weren't crazy about. The car ride from Dubrovnik to Perast was quite long, especially since we had to cross the border into Montenegro, which took some time. The trip was originally scheduled for 8 hours and included Perast and Kotor. We opted to eliminate the drive to Kotor. We wish we had opted for the sea kayaking instead of visiting Montenegro. However, our tour in Perast was great and the scenery was awesome.

Split - for its engaging, active atmosphere, Hvar for the food, Korcela for the small-town feel and lovely biking, Ston for the bike wine tour and walls, Dobrovnic for its infamous walls, history, and amazing views!

It is hard to choose one place but some of the places I loved was Hum, Montovo, Porec and Plitvice Park. Oh the Pula and the amphitheatre. If we were to do the same trip again I would make it 2 days more as sometimes to see all we asked to see the time in the car was long and we got into places late. I would highly recommend Roberto to any of my friends.

Additional comments : Robi shared his extensive knowledge of the history, culture, architecture and politics enthusiastically. His love of Croatia was contagious and we appreciated his insights and perspectives during our 7 day tour with him. He was flexible and was accommodating to our needs and interests. I highly recommend Robi for an enriching and enjoyable tour. (Jody)

My husband and I chose the 17 day self guided Best of Croatia Tour, and it was a fabulous itinerary customized by Robi. We have really appreciated all of the patience that Robi has shown us throughout this process (since it initially was scheduled for Fall of 2020. Throughout the pandemic lockdown Robi and I kept in touch, and he never pressured us at all to book, but was kind and understanding of our desire to come when we felt it was the right time.
Our trip was outstanding and we felt that we really did experience "the Best of Croatia". Robi's suggestions for our itinerary were excellent. We liked starting in Zagreb, the capital, and appreciated our tour of the highlights of the capital city with Bruno, who was so passionate about his country! Part of the excitement of traveling for us is learning about the history and getting a glimpse into the culture, and Bruno did that! We were happy that Robi suggested to drive to the north of Croatia to visit the Trakoscan Castle - I loved how the furniture is still set up in their place and you can almost imagine how it was back in the 14th century! Also we were happily surprised at the beautiful highways that Croatia has, they are all so pristine and it was a pleasure to travel on them. We also appreciated the GPS that Robi made sure was in our rental.
We adored Istria and indeed it did remind us of Tuscany, so lovely. The little towns of Groznjan was super cute, as was Motovun. Porec was gorgeous and we will always remember the delicious seafood meal we had at Konoba Aba!
Plitvice was a highlight - I am so happy that Robi booked our accommodation near the park entrance the night before, as we were almost the first to enter the park, and seeing those stunning waterfalls almost by ourselves was just the best. We can understand how busy the park gets later on in the day or in the summer months, and it would have been a lesser experience, had we gone when it was crowded-it was perfect.
Each day was planned perfectly by Robi, with so much thought and consideration. He would send us pins each night for the following day, and so we were able to navigate the driving part all so well, and did not have to use data (which Robi taught us)!
There were so many highlights along the way - we loved the city of Zadar - it is full of character, and it is so beautiful, with the sea organ providing a wonderful ambience-just loved it!
Robi also placed us in accommodation right at the gates of Krka - he suggested we catch the first boat and we did-Krka is simply breathtaking!! The power of those waterfalls in incredible. We enjoyed the best Sea Bass of our lived in Skradin at Konoba Dalmatino.
We left our rental car in Split. Robi arranged for a walking tour of Split and it was a fantastic tour of the Diocletian's Palace.
Next we took the ferry to Hvar. This was our favorite island. It had a good "vibe", and we did not even party there (they call it the party island). It is just a gorgeous Medieval town, with quaint alleys full of little shops and restaurants. Robi booked "The DeVecchi Rooms" - our favorite-absolutely adorable, and again, the perfect location for walking everywhere. We took a beach day on Hvar at Ponkoji Dol Beach - you can walk from Old town-stay on the sea wall, don't follow Google maps-the walk on the sea wall is so pretty and the beach is lovely!
Then off to Korcula, another island with lots of vineyards, and a few beaches. We did a bike and wine tour here, and loved every minute of it.
Robi arranged for the driver, Goran, to pick us up in Korcula, take us on the car ferry to the Peljasic Peninsula, where we embarked on the BEST, most BREATHTAKING bike ride of our lives, along the coastline of the peninsula. Goran also took us to an amazing Vineyard where we sampled a few delicious red wines. This day was a definite highlight for us! And from there Goran drove us to Ston, where we walked the walls and had yet another seafood feast at Konoba Bakus-delicious!
Goran picked us up from Ston the next morning and onto our last stop-Dubrovinik. This walled city does not disappoint - it is jaw dropping!! We were not big fans of Split, but we LOVED Dubrovinik. The wall is incredible, and the stories from Antea, our walking guide in Dubrovnik were fascinating. Antea is a true local and she shares her very personal understanding of the history of Dubronik-one of the most interesting and cool cities you will ever see. We walked to another amazing beach, and the accommodations Robi arranged for us in Dubrovnik were perfect.
Frankly, this trip was faultless, because of Robi's attention to every detail. He is very hands on, and will communicate with you daily, in case there is anything you need. If you want to have someone plan and organize the best trip to get to know Croatia, you must book Robi-he is kind and considerate and so generous with his time - he went above and beyond and always says that his happiness comes from making his customers happy - how can you beat this? Thank you a million times Robi!

This was my first time using a travel agency for a trip. I've always been a very independent traveler and felt that using a travel agent would take away some of that spontaneity and freedom. In fact, it only enhanced the trip. Bruno arranged all the hotels and car rental for us, which took a lot of the stress away. And he was always there on WhatsApp to send us suggestions (always with easy-to-use directions), even helping us to figure out how to pay for parking, so that we were able to maximize our time enjoying the holiday and not spending wasted hours trying to find a place.
This was our first trip to southern Dalmatia and we saw a lot. I like to think of it as a great "taste" of what Dalmatia has to offer, and I can't wait to go back for more now that I have an idea of all there is to offer there. From Cavtat to Split and back again, it was all wonderful, the food (the oysters!), the sea, the hikes and bike rides of Mljet island, the fortifications of Ston and Dubrovnik, (and all the stairs). Especially lovely (and something I probably wouldn't have found on my own) was the Tristeno Arboretum and its Roman Aqueduct, reminding us just how long people have sailed these shores.
In addition we both really enjoyed our guide Pero's wonderfully detailed tour of the Diocletian's Palace in Split was both informative and filled with dry Dalmatian humor. In short, this could have been a mess of a holiday with us lost and frustrated, but thanks to Bruno and his team, we were able to pack a huge amount into a week.

We were in No 3, I think, which was large, had comfy beds and had a washing machine, for which we were very grateful after being on a land tour for 11 days and we were then joining an island hopping cruise for a week. Our travelling companions were in the apartment next door, so they were able to use the washing facility too. It is near the Old Town of Dubrovnik, but you do have to be able to manage a lot of steps to get there and back, If you're fit, then I would definitely recommend it.
