Hiring a driver and car to visit a new country was not new for me, but going alone was. So I was understandably cautious about going solo with a driver for 3 days in northern Croatia. I wanted to see Zagreb, Rovinj, and the Plitvice Lakes National Park as well as have a short stop in Piran, Slovenia. Through the company Zagreb Tours , I contacted Davor Miskic who co-founded the company and helped me (via email) choose an itinerary that would include these stops. When I finally met Davor at the Zagreb airport, after missing my connecting flight, I knew he was a good choice for me. He was very understanding about the later flight and we tweaked the itinerary before setting off the next morning. Neither of us liked early morning starts, so we agreed on the latest departure times. The drive from Zagreb to the Istrian peninsula took only a few hours and Davor was very familar with the sights and routes, stopping to show me special places along the way. He walked with me in Piran and Rovinj, showing me the highlights and offering an arm on steep stairs. He drove the long hours to Plitvice Lakes but the immense tourist crowd destroyed any interest I had in that unique place. We managed to find a few good overlooks and then headed back to Zagreb. He spent an entire day showing me his hometown and I enjoyed a free evening on my own, eating at a street bakery and listening to a dance festival in the central square of Zagreb. My solo visit to northern Croatia was very enjoyable, thanks to the services of Davor and Zagreb Tours. Ann
Wir haben die Tour geliebt!! Fantastiches Itinerar, super Unterkünfte, die besten Restaurants, sehr guter Reiseführer. So viel Schönheit wäre unmöglich alleine zu entdecken! Besten Dank und bis zum nächsten Mal!
Just wanted you to know what a wonderful trip we had with you in Istria. It was really a pleasure and an adventure seeing all the beautiful places. The truffles, wine and other specialties were just great. Thank you once again and I hope we'll have the opportunity to see more of Croatia in the future. Nancy, Lisa & Jim
