5.00We joined a day trip organized by the agency, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay. Everything was well planned and smoothly organized, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience. The visit to the rural household was truly special. We had the chance to see farm animals up close, learn about traditional rural life, and feel the genuine hospitality of the hosts. The environment was peaceful, authentic, and beautifully connected with nature. The homemade food was absolutely outstanding – fresh, local, and prepared with great care. Every dish reflected tradition and quality, and it was clear that a lot of love goes into everything they do. This excursion is perfect for anyone who wants to experience authentic countryside life, enjoy incredible homemade food, and step away from the usual tourist routes. A wonderful combination of nature, culture, and gastronomy. Highly recommended to couples, families, and anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable local experience. Excellent job by the agency – we would gladly book with them again!

5.00Great experience. The Eye of the Earth looks incredible in person – definitely something you need to see. The whole day was easy-going and relaxing. The guide was friendly and kind. The village tour felt very cozy and authentic. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I’d gladly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the city for a bit and enjoy nature and peace.”

5.00Went on this tour with my friends, it was the first time I saw the "eye of the earth" and I was speechless, I don't even have words to describe this place! 😍 Another great thing was hanging out with the local animals, feeding them, and having the best "uštipci" in the world.. Big thanks to the driver, and Marijana for making this happen.. Next time, we will definitely see another tour with you!
