Antonia 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."

From start to finish we had an incredible trip to Croatia. Antonia did a fantastic job with our trip plan. Every transfer and tour went off without a problem. Every driver, guide, tour/experience, and accomodation was phenominal! Croatia is such a beautiful country with warm, welcoming, and helpful people. I loved the small experiences that allowed us to get to know the guides and drivers and hear their stories. Antonia always made sure she was available if we needed anything at all. This was a trip we will not forget- Thank-you Antonia!
