Antonia Šutić Ljuština

Adventure hunter, hot air balloon enthusiast, foodie. After years of working as a tour guide and travel agent all over Europe, I found my true passion right here, at home. We create itineraries that will cater to every individual interest for a truly one-of-a-kind vacation.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Tailor-made tours: Sightseeing, Hot Air Balloon, Food & Wine, Heritage and Historical, Birdwatching, Game of Thrones, Sailing. There is no greater excitement than working on an itinerary that involves a mix of adventure activities, historical sightseeing and appreciating the best of the region through food, wine, and local stories."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Traveling and exploring was something that defined me from early childhood. After working as an IT consultant right after high school and all through college, I went on to pursue my dream of being a professional traveler. It all eventually lead to the magical story of Croatique."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"The world is a truly unique place and whenever I travel I try to get the most of it as possible. Visiting a local sports team match, going to undiscovered restaurants, visiting farmer's markets, concerts.

There is one event that really sticks with me to this day, and it happened in Croatia, right in my hometown. When I started working as a tour guide in Croatia, I took a couple of travelers from the USA on a tour through the Eastern part of Croatia known as Slavonia. We visited a Buy Local Fair and had an amazing experience of joining a traditional silent "kolo" flashmob at the local square. The kolo was so long they danced right into a local store and the sales team joined them as well. We still talk about it to this day."

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.

We had a wonderful local guide - Ivana - who showed us the town of Split and shared her experiences of growing up and spending her life in that town. On Hvar, we had a 6th generation local - Antonio - who hosted us on his boat 2 full days and showed us the local spots, coves and restaurants on Hvar and the local islands. We also spent a day with Venko who drove us around Hvar to all the small towns and harbors - an unforgettable stop at Grgo's house for a private wine tasting and dinner in the small town of Jelsa. We ended the trip in Dubrovnik with a hard to get restaurant reservation at the Panorama Restaurant with perfect views of the city. Could not have asked for more!

It has been almost a week now since my dream vacation ended but the memories are still fresh and wonderful. Antonia and Sara, thanks for being the best travel agents.
It was indeed the trip of a lifetime, and I am so grateful and appreciative of the work Antonia and Sara did to help make it so magical. I can’t say enough good things about Antonia and Sara. This was my second time working with them and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Antonia and Sara were great with the entire process from planning to updates during the trip. Everything was perfectly executed. The entire experience was seamless and memorable. Nothing escaped their attention. They were easy to communicate with and always responded promptly to any requests I had. The arrangements they made were flawless. The hotels had everything I could ask for and more. The transfers from place to place were handled in the most efficient way,
This was truly a trip to be remembered for all the good reasons. I am forever grateful to Antonia and Sara for helping me create a dream holiday. They are much more than travel agents. They are my friends, and that means a great deal to me.
In closing, I look forward to planning another adventure next summer.

Thank you for everything!
