Private tour of Dalmatia

September 2011.

Hi Alan,
We wanted to thank you for a very well organized and interesting trip. We enjoyed all the events and all the guides and appreciate your choice of activities which coincided very well and with good insight to what we had said our interests were. We particularly enjoyed meeting people who live in Dalmatia and having good conversations with them. Too bad you don’t have any say over the weather; then the trip would have been perfect. The apartment was good and the location perfect.
We will certainly recommend your company to anyone we know going to Dalmatia.
We wish you all the best and further success.
Regards,
Janet, Adriaan and Sydney

Hello Alan,
We are back in Canada and I wanted to thank you for all the arrangements which you made possible for us in both Croatia and Slovenia. It was a wonderful trip and full of great pictures and memories. We will definitely return to the area and would love to use your agency again and refer you to our travel agency and travelling friends.
I had promised to send Sanja (in Imotski) some photos of our day spent with her, but have misplaced her email, if possible could you send it to us please?
Thanks again for all your efforts in customizing our holiday and making it perfect!
Cheers,
Susan and Hilary Clegg

Private Tour of Croatia

August 2011.

Alan,

Sorry for the delay in getting a very happy response to you. It has been a challenging re-entry into regular life and with Jet lag and full blown work requirements I have been distracted.

Here is a couple of pictures, one of us in the olive grove for dinner, a couple at Cedo’s and the other from the fortress in Hvar. Hvar was Nicoles favourite Croatia spot as I think she like going to the beach club every day and watching all the boats (and beautiful people). J
Our trip was amazing and there were so many highlights. I would have to say that all the side-trips we did were our favourite times. Hotels are hotels and even though each was lovely and the people were very accommodating, it was getting out of the tourist zones and meeting with some of the local people that made me love your beautiful country.
Our first guide, Davor who took us to Plitvice was lik... >>> read more>>>

Croatia Discovery

August 2011.

Alan, my sister and I are heading back to Canada after our 3 week trip to Europe. I wanted to take the time to thank you and let you know how much I enjoyed the excursions I booked through you. In fact, Croatia was the highlight of my trip. I definitely want to come back and explore some of the quieter areas and spend more time on the islands. Mljet was beautiful and I loved our time in Dubrovnik, Split, Brac, Zagreb, and Plitvice. But what made the trip really great was the guides. I learned so much about the places we visited but, more importantly, about Croatia and the different points of view of Croatians. Carol was wonderful. She clearly loves her new home, Dubrovnik. We had a great time chatting over coffee and she helped me pick out a konavle pendant as a memory of my trip. Rada's passion for herbs and plants was contagious. My sister and I enjoyed tasting olive oil on Brac and... >>> read more>>>

Croatia Discovery

June 2011.

Mike and I want you to thank you for arranging an amazing trip for us. We had so many incredible experiences that we would not have had without your knowledge and expertise. Each of our guides not only knew history, art, politics and religion, they also had great social skills and communicated their love for and pride in Croatia. We had a great day with Igor in Lika looking for our ancestors. We weren't really successful, but he went above and beyond trying to help us with the search. I think we were close, but didn't quite find them.
Our first guide, Roni, was interested in a bottle of slivovica Mike told him about that has Hebrew writing on the label. If you can, please forward it to him.

We are thinking that we might like to rent an apartment in Split for an extended stay next spring. Do you have any thoughts about the best way to accomplish that?
Thanky again!
Mik... >>> read more>>>
