Soul of Croatia

Robi planned the most amazing 5 week itinerary. he listened to me, what type of trip I was looking for, how we like to travel, the places we wanted to see and the type of accommodations. he made great recommendations, as I would see something in a guide book or online and he would give honest feedback as to what the place was like and if it made sense. all of the details were handled flawlessly. he created a trip where we really felt like we were local, he gave daily WhatsApp messages for the next days itinerary, hotels, directions and restaurant recommendations of where the locals eat. when we were in country he was always available if we had questions. I felt the pricing was very fair based on the accommodations we stayed in. some of the highlights were Plitvice Lakes, Lake Bled, Mljet, Porec, Ston, Postojna cave and castle and for me as an equestrian the Lipica stud farm. he arranged the itinerary so I could see a performance. but there are so many more incredible places based on how long you have to travel. you will be very happy if you get matched with Robi.

If you are planning a trip to Croatia, I enthusiastically recommend local Croatian travel agent Roberto (Robi) Pincevic. We traveled with family members ranging from age 25 to 88, and Robi listened to what we liked to do and suggested great activities and restaurants. His communication was excellent throughout planning and travel. While we were in Croatia, he checked in with us every day to see how things were going. When our flight to Rome was canceled at 6:30pm and we risked missing our niece's wedding, Robi tapped his network and solved the problem: two drivers to tag-team the 3.5 hour drive to our new flight, a hotel room on short notice, and transport from the hotel to the new airport. Every piece fell into place, and Robi saved the day.

Robert was determined to get to know us and our travel wishes and needs as we were planning this trip. He helped me put together exactly the trip we wanted for the limited time that we had. Additionally, he found excellent accommodations that matched our expectations. We stayed in Split for 3 nights in a tiny hotel inside the walls of the palace. It was so comfortable, and the hosts were most accommodating. I felt like I was staying with friends. Our city guide in Split, Petar (or Pero) was most informative, amusing and well able to roll with the bored teenager. Our city guide in Dubrovnik, Marko, was also very interesting and engaging, and this time we let the teenager stay at the pool.
We had very friendly and knowledgeable drivers who showed up right on time, and Robi made sure we had the tickets we needed for the ferries and for the National Park, When I found I had left behind an important ticket, Robi took care of the problem somehow.
I feel that we were very fortunate to find such a caring and capable local specialist for our trip. We highly recommend working with Robi.

Robi was our local travel planner. He is amazing - kept us informed every day. He would let us know what time and where our guide/driver would meet us. The itinerary delivered. I was very thankful for all the little details - for example the electric golf cart to take us from the ferry port to our hotel in Korcula. His recommendations for places to eat - were spot on. He sent pins on maps for places to visit and also where to meet the guide/driver. He even sent us photos and pins for the ferry port so that we would not miss the catamaran.. Such attention to detail. Also there were a couple of occasions where we deviated from the original planned itinerary but Robi was gracious and took care of everything!

We had two separate pick-ups and drop-off for airport. He coordinated that well - informed us where we would be picked up. We were worried for our daughters are their pick up time was very very early. But he told us the make, model, license plate number, name of driver and driver's phone number. He understood our concern! Thank you!

Mario - our driver/guide for the first half of our trip was very good. He guided us and shared interesting facts. On the hike around Plitivice Lakes he was patient and guided us to better photo spots.
For Krka National Park we changed our minds about exploring the upper part of the park, the Robi worked with the guide in coordinating our last minute desire to go the monastery! It was smoothly handled.
I forget the name of the driver who took us from Krka to Split. Since we had time he offered to take us on a detour to see Trigor! What a delight!

So a big THANK YOU to Robi for putting together a memorable trip - all the hotels, drivers, guides and places we visited were just amazing.
