My mother and I had an amazing day with Daniela. She treated us like family sharing information about Croatia with her personal experiences. Meeting her grandparents was something you will not experience on any other tour and something extremely special. We were lucky enough that our hotel mentioned this tour as our trip would have been lacking without it. This is a must if you want to see the true Croatia.

I HIGHLY recommend this trip. Daniella is warm, bubbly, informative and a joy. Everyone we encountered on this trip had the same light as her. Meeting her family was an absolute pleasure and honor. I learned so much and the food is STUPENDOUS. If I make it back to Croatia I’ll definitely book again. Hvala Daniella
