Bruno Martinović

Born and raised in Croatia, I got involved in tourism at an early age. In 2009, I started to work as a biking & hiking guide. I guided in Croatia, Montenegro, Turkey, and Greece. When I got married and became the father of twins, I decided to spend more time with my family. Since 2016, I am working in the office. Now I can utilize all my knowledge that I got as a guide to plan your holiday in Croatia.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

""Custom tours and trips in Croatia. Reservations, documentation, communicating with our guests, graphic design and marketing – all this and much more is what it takes to make our tours an unforgettable experience for our guests, providing them with more than a holiday. ""

How did you get involved in travel?

""I went tp a high school specialized in tourism, after that I finished the Faculty of tourism and hospitality management. Since then I have been adding up knowledge until I came to the professional level. The biggest impact of why I am working in the travel industry was when I worked for the Croatia Nacional tourism board on the Travel trade shows all around Europe ( Berlin, Munich, London, Amsterdam). There I helped visitors to plan there holiday in Croatia.""

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

""Many years ago I was traveling in Egypt and Jordan. I experienced Cairo, Luxor, Nile River, Hurghada, Sinai Peninsula, Aqaba, Wadi Rum and Petra. Great experience. Beautiful places. What I will remember the most is the people from all those places that I was traveling to. Always helpful and with a big smile on the face.""

The planned hotel in Kortula was closed at the last minute and the replacement offered had sad odd dark rooms with no amenities and slim breakfast . The town is a gem, so we were glad we made it.

With only a month’s notice, Bruno planned and executed a fantastic trip to Croatia/ Slovenia for me and my wife. We were in Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb, and a day trip to Slovenia. We also had some special requests that he was more than willing to put in place even after he planned our itinerary. He was there every step of the way to keep us informed of changes due to weather , or just to give us a preview of the next day. Bruno was also our guide in Zagreb and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide to the city.

Overall, it was an excellent trip and Bruno was superb!

Our family had a wonderful trip to Croatia. It is such a beautiful and interesting country. Our guide Bruno was excellent.
He helped us organize the itinerary, which included both history and nature. While we were in the country, he was in touch with us every day to see how we were doing and to advise us about the schedule for the next day. We were able to modify some parts of our schedule as required, which was very helpful. We would highly recommend this trip and our guide!
