When in Rovinj, you definitely deserve to go beyond the bay area with its cafés and restaurants, beyond the beaches and the cocktail bars. Because this place hides secrets that have so far been difficult to discover and explore for the individual traveler as city tours were only available for organised groups.

I've had the pleasure of doing 2 tours with these guys: the Dubrovnik city tour and the day trip to Montenegro. I have done my share of tours over the years, and I can honestly say these have been the most informative, well thought, entertaining and fun of them all. It is rare to find people born and raised in the old town of Dubrovnik and it is even more difficult to find people with the knowledge, passion and professionalism that Ivo and Stjepan bring to the table. I could have spent a week listening to the history of both Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, etc and to all the anecdotes, facts and personal experiences. Truly outstanding. Thanks again for two fabulous days!

Highly recommend for a real authentic experience. My husband and I are digital nomads and we have experienced a lot of different tours around Europe but this was an absolute highlight for us. Spending the day with our guide Jadran was just like having a local friend take us out to all the best spots in Split, we felt like we got the very best local experience. Jadran was super knowledgeable, we had such a great time! We visited some amazing spots that you wouldn't get to experience on your own. We went to a fabulous family run winery and also had an incredible feast at a local home, it was very unique and something you can't experience in a restaurant. It was a long day but it felt well timed and very relaxed, we also came home absolutely stuffed from all the wonderful food! If you love food, wine, a taste of history and good company this is the perfect tour.

My friend and I had a private tour with Goran in July and he was an excellent guide. He was really knowledgeable about his home town and even gave us some great tips on where to eat afterwards! Would definitely recommend checking out the tour.

We booked the wine tasting tour not knowing what to expect .there was only four of us on the trip even when fully maximum of 8 person . Lovely wine guide called Tena who was very knowledgable not only about the wine but as a local the city and culture . We had a great day sampling wines which we would not have found if we had been alone . Well worth the cost will do again in the future and recommend to friends

We wish we had done this tour in the first day of our stay in Zadar. Sime (Simon)is a local and gave us a fantastic story and history of this fascinating and mainly beautiful place. From its Illyrian roots ,the Roman remains and through history to the scars of WW2 and recent war in 1991 and the impact of this on Zadar and its architecture. You get the feeling that Old Zadar is for the locals,lived in by the locals and has not sold its soul like other Adriatic cities. There are brutalist buildings stood next to Roman remains but you have an understanding why this is but this is the beauty of Zadar today.

Maja and I met at 9am, and I was the only person booked for the day. I’m normally terrified of having to talk to someone for excessively long periods of time but literally I could not soak up enough information; she knew everything (it seemed!) about the history of Croatia, the Pltivice lakes and surrounding areas, about coffee and food and the best museums and why the travertine grew and why the lakes were a UNESCO site and what a UNESCO site is anyway. At one point I asked her why the trees on the highway were cut the way they were AND SHE KNEW THAT TOO. The visit was gorgeous and one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had in real life; I do believe this is the best Croatia can offer because I think it’s the best any country could hope to offer. I said wow over a hundred times. I cannot recommend this company, or Maja, enough, truly.
