Our trip was a global learning experience for Mohawk College Students...

Croatia | Feb 17 - Feb 24, 2024

Our trip was a global learning experience for ten college students and two faculty. This meant we were not just seeing the sights, but had to learn about social, economic, cultural and environmental issues.
Robi was an amazing guide because of his knowledge, enthusiasm and energy for guiding and for Croatia. He was flexible regarding our needs and was able to give us the most amazing experience by connecting with other local guides and curators. When we had to adjust due to weather and border issues, he was able to provide alternatives that seemed like they had always been part of the plan. His stories and jokes made the time on the road go quickly. Since we wanted Zagreb to be our home base for the entire trip, Robi took us to corners of the area not usually seen in the typical Croatian tour. This gave our students a real flavour of Croatian life in the villages, farms and cities.
We feel that Robi (and Mario) gave us everything we wanted and more. Most impressive was how Robi connected with each student on the first day by remembering their names and the programs they were in. He made them feel cared for and we definitely saw growth as they eagerly asked questions, engaged with events and took millions of pictures.
This was a trip they will never forget because it fulfilled our school's agenda while being customized to the needs of our students -- many of whom have never travelled before.
The local guides that Robi contacted were also ideal for our student group and knew what would interest them and fulfill their needs.
We want to do this again, and we would not do it without Robi.
