Tour of the most beautiful part of the Adriatic coast

Guided tour of the cultural and historical sights of Makarska

Guided tours of ancient forts

Participation in historical performances

The program includes a guided tour of the most important medieval forts and fortification remains of the Makarska coast, as well as other cultural and historical sights. The program includes a guided tour of the Great Castle in Kotišina above Makarska as part of the famous botanical garden founded by the famous Makarska Franciscan friar Jure Radić. Different legends and folk tales are associated with almost each of the forts. One of the most common is about a woman who, during the Turkish siege, hit one of the attackers with a large piece of cheese, which she used to feed her child. Seeing that they were being pelted with cheese, the Turks thought that the food and water supplies in the fort were plentiful and that the siege could be prolonged, so they decided to retreat. The program includes a tour of the Zalina Tower in Igrane, the Tower in Padaca, Gradina above Drvenik and other fortifications in the area. The program also includes a visit to the Franciscan monastery in Zaostrog and the Vepric sanctuary near Makarska.

Hi everybody! I just wanted to let you know that we landed safely and are still mesmerised by our holiday. We enjoyed it every step of the way. We’re so sad it ended. So, thank you for the organization and being so cooperative entire time.

John from Dublin, Ireland

Where to begin?! What a wonderful experience. We had a great time in Dubrovnik. Special thanks to Tomislav who is so knowledgeable and kind. Restaurants in the city and in Konavle are just great. The dinner on the top station of the cable car with that panorama is something we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Sandra from Chicago, US

Top professionals, always available, answering e-mails in an extremely short time. Full of knowledge about the country that they very happily shared with me.

Debbie from US

You guys look like you’re on a mission there.

Stan from Pittsburg, US

I would like to thank you for the planning and organization. Special thanks for your support in transferring my buddy to hospital. We felt very confident during whole program because of you. Sorry for constant changes on our part and thank you indeed for your tremendous patience.

Alex from Winnipeg, Canada

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I just found the time to arrange my Croatian memories and souvenirs. I truly enjoyed my journey through Croatia, in great part because of you doing a great job. My husband na I felt that we were in safe hands all of the time, even when we had to rearrange our schedule because of weather it was done so easy and without stress. We will recommend both you and your country to our friends. Especially Korcula ?!

Lucy from Melbourne, Australia

Totally surprised with wine range and quality you have in Croatia. Couldn’t decide between Greece and Croatia this year, but am so glad to choose the latter. Your service was great, quick and what I like the most are suggestions where to go and warnings what to avoid, which is quite rare.

Peter from Wales

Thank you very much for organising my travel. You made me very, very happy. I’m not easy customer to be around, but just couldn’t find anything to whine about. My mother instilled in me a love for travel! I’m very thankful for that, among other reason, because of trips like this one and experiences like I had with you.

Diane from London, UK

Thank you for a wonderful program! It’s definitely one of the best travels of MY LIFE. We were never bored and yet had enough time for ourselves, felt alive and aware during entire journey. We came back home rejuvenated, ready to start planning another journey like this.

Courtney from Wellington

You guys made us feel at home during our Croatian tour. Local guides in Dubrovnik and Split were just phenomenal. We stayed in touch. And everything else was great, Croatia must be a great country to live in.
