Myself and two lady friends just returned from a 10 day trip to Croatia. We're late 60's / early 70's and are very active. But we didn't want to drive or spend a ton of time researching sites to visit or hotels. We were fortunate to find Matilda Kežić of Majestic Croatia DMC. She is amazing. She planned everything for us...transportation, hotels, small group tours, even restaurants. We had car service from / to every point on our trip, which was important to us. We worked with Matilda via email and zoom on all the details. She kept in touch with us every day via Whats Up Chat. When we were running late for a tour in Dubrovnik (we took a really wrong turn while walking to the meeting site), I messaged Matilda who got in touch work our tour guide. Seamless support! We saw all the standard sites in Zagreb, Zadar, Plitvice National Park, Split, Togir, and Dubrovnik. And I wanted to stop in Ogulin, where my grandparents lived before emigrating to the US. No problem. She also recommended a not-typical visit to the Neretva Valley including a visit to the Argo Ento park. There we had a boat ride on a pristine lake, lunch, and visited their new, small but very authentic cultural heritage museum. Matilda even personally drove us to a few points and joined us on a few tours. It was so special to have a knowledgeable, delightful Croatian accompany us. If you are looking for a fabulous travel agent to customize your tour and maximize your enjoyment, I highly recommend her.

We had amazing private tour with local travel expert and tour guide Matilda, who is the owner of this small but unique agency! This tour is perfect for families with kids. We had so much fun on Bacina Lakes and then on Norin river. There are no crowds nor too many people. It is a place where you will find your place in the shade or enjoy in sun, refreshment in the clear water of lakes and reading books in peace and quiet. Crickets are almost the only living creatures that may disturb your peace. Here you will be able to enjoy various water sports - swimming, kayaking etc. If you are also dreaming of such a vacation, visit Bacina lakes! After Bacina Lakes, we arrived in little town called Vid for fantastic opportunity to enjoy in scenic ride through Norin river on Ladja boat and taste the very best of Dalmatian wine and food. Learn the secrets of the popular Dalmatian cuisine in the beautiful Croatian countryside. Great experience we recommend for everyone o try while in Croatia.
