This was our first trip visiting Croatia, my husband and myself did not know what to expect. Nokola provided us with excellent itinerary with transportation, starting from picking us up from Dubrovnik airport to dropping us off at the Zagreb airport. Along the way, we visited the Dalmation Coast-Dubrovnik, Hvar, Split, Zadar, Istria. Each of the hotel we stayed was unique, well appointed and centrally located within walking distance to restaurants, coffee bars, historical sites and beyond. The guides of our private walking tours were very knowledgeable, passionate about sharing the history of their city. These walking tours helped deepen our understanding of each town from its past to the present. We especially enjoyed the truffle hunt with the dogs through a local truffle farm near Motovun. The farm prepared scrambled eggs ( 46 eggs ), using the freshly harvested truffles, along with bread, different spreads, salads...Dessert was chocolate cake with truffles, very delicious, unique and memorable. Miro, the owner of the truffle farm shared so much with our group anything truffle related. I will remember the beautiful sunsets in Split, Zadar and Rovinj ! Overall, we credit Nikola's attention to detail , his caring attitudes and deep knowledge for our exceptional experience.

I really enjoyed this unique and memorable experience. The husband/ wife team together with their staff were so welcoming and hospitable. The two dogs worked hard to hunt the black truffles and received gifts of bread, not a very fair deal...The lunch afterwards were delicious and festive. I learned a lot of the truffles, really appreciated the educational aspect as well!
What an amazing city to behold and visit. The Roman ruins of the Amphitheater was spectacular to witness in person. Our guide, Ms. Rossana, made the experience more memorable by sharing the relevant information going back to Roman times !
Our guide, Grgo, gave us a tour of his hometown through his personal perspective and love for Hvar. There was a storm coming in, he moved the tour schedule up so our tour finished just before the storm, perfect timing ! He took us up to the highest point on the island so we could see the panoramic view all around Hvar. I like to learn how the locals live in places that I travel /visit, that's how we connect to the places and people when we travel, Grgo delivered on that level for me.
The Palace of Diocletian's Palace came alive via Ms. Mirna's interesting/ informative stories and facts. The Palace felt like a maze to me with different quarters and 4 gates to enter. We met a finger painting artist who named his paintings " Finger Pain Things ". There was also Klapa singing, a traditional cappella singing style. It was great to experience the Palace with its history as well as its modern day re-adaptation of unique shops and restaurants.
