Sign up-- you won't regret it! - The experience we had today with Mateo was nothing short of amazing. He was funny, smart, perfectly timed every part of our trip and went above and beyond when he found out it was our honeymoon. We had a blast; it was like driving around with a really informed friend who told you about history as he steered you towards great food and wine. I seriously can not gush enough about the whole thing--- absolutely perfect!

Informative, yet Casual and Engaging - Highly recommend tour. Tour guide shared lots of information about the gorgeous towns visited and country as a whole and was very personable. The guides are very passionate about sharing their country with visitors.
The tour is a small group. We were in a group of 4. The cities look like postcards and you are given plenty of time to explore instead of being led around. In the van the guide told us places to see and the history behind them so when we got to the sites we already knew what to look for. It was very flexible and refreshing.
BONUS- we also stopped at a winery and had a wine tasting and were able to purchase the best wine I have ever had (not a big wine person but this was delicious) for a shockingly low price.

Private Tour - The other bookings were no shows, so it turned out to be a private tour! So, it included a trip to a winery at my request, not typical for the day that I booked. Stefano was an excellent guide, with tons of information about the history of the beautiful small towns that we visited. The market in Rovinj was particularly nice.
