Visiting Croatia exceeded our expectations. The kind people, breathtaking landscape, and history make this experience so special.

We loved the Krka Falls. Such a fun town. Our guide for the e-bike tour was wonderful. The bike rental business was great.

Split hotel was unbelievable.

Hvar was unforgettable. Our speedboat guide was a favorite. Daveen I believe. He customer our experience based on our kids and the rough waters. It was lovely and fun. Our hotel was so beautiful and rich with history. The Nora staff treated us like family.

Dubrovnik exceeded expectations. I wish we had more time in old town to explore. We spent our final day at the resort jumping in the sea and, we wish we had more time to stroll outside of the resort. It was truly the trip of a lifetime. Tina made this experience easy, stress free, and perfect for our family. We want to return soon!

Hi Melissa,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful 5-star review.

I am delighted to hear that your trip to Croatia exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed everything you experienced along the way.

It is especially lovely to hear that Croatia left such special memories and that you enjoyed the company of the guides, captain, and hotel staff throughout your journey. I will be sure to pass along your kind words to our partners, including the e-bike guide, the speedboat crew, and the teams at your hotels. I'm sure they will be thrilled to know they helped make your family's experience so memorable.

Reading that the trip was "the trip of a lifetime" truly means a lot to me. It was my pleasure to help create an itinerary that allowed you to relax, explore, and make lasting memories together. I'm especially happy that the arrangements made traveling with your three children easy and stress-free.

Thank you again for your generous feedback and support. It was a pleasure working with you, and I sincerely hope to welcome you and your family back to Croatia one day. There is still so much more to discover!

Best regards from Hrvatska 😊

We just returned from a month-long vacation through Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and we owe the success of that trip to TINA. Planning a multi country trip has so many details but Tina helped us build a totally flawless and logical itinerary. Every detail was attended to: airport pickup and drop-off, car rental and insurance, hotel reservations, national park tickets, and incredible private tours. Every person on the team was so friendly and knowledgeable. Mr. Bozo and Dario drove us to and from the airport. Both were on time and pleasant. Our guides were SUPERB! We can not thank Mr. Anze, Marija, Mak, or "Ken" enough! We so enjoyed our time with them. They each shared their incredible knowledge of their city but also shared their personal stories and fondness of their cities.
Each country has its own uniqueness and we loved each one. The Balkans is so beautiful from the mountains to the cities to the sea. We ask ourselves, what was our favorite part? Honestly, we can't come up with just one. Words and photos do not do the countries justice. Absolutely gorgeous countryside.
Tina's communication was exceptional! She was so thorough during the planning phases, made suggestions and, gave us honest feedback about any concerns we had. She checked in with us during the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly and gave even more suggestions for quick stops along our way.
The hotels she chose for us were top notch. The hotel locations were PERFECT! We were able to park the car and walk to the sights. That in itself is HUGE! Most were family owned businesses and they all were so kind, appreciative, and eager to share tidbits about their town and country. There is NO WAY I could have logically organized this trip the way Tina did. We are SO GRATEFUL to her for making this vacation so special. If you want a meticulous, knowledgeable, friendly, and honest travel agent to create a fabulous vacation, TINA IS THE ONE YOU WANT!
Tina, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

They include the private oyster and mussels lunch and many other meals - especially seafood, such as Puntulina and a restaurant on the island of Vis; there were trips to caves and castles; fascinating little hotels in the old towns of historic cities; and much more. We highly reccomend Marija to anyone who wishes to enjoy the wonders and joys of this region of the world.

I would request a different driver next time. Baldo is a character which was enjoyable early, by the end of the day I was a bit tired of his opinions. He also rushed us a bit because he had plans that evening (e.g. coming to our table during the wine tasting and advising us that it was too hot to walk the walls in Ston). We would have gotten back in plenty of time for his plans without him rushing us The winery staff we wonderful.

See comments about Baldo above. Car was nice and driving was safe.

This was fine but it's the one thing if we returned we wouldn't do again. Nothing wrong happened, it just wasn't our thing.
