My family and I took our first trip to Croatia this year, and were recommended to Ante by one of our cousins who had booked many tours with Ante over the last few years. Ante was so kind in helping us plan 2 perfect day trips via email a few months before we travelled. Once we were finally in Dubrovnik, Ante was early both days he picked us up at our hotel so we could start early and see a lot. The 5 of us spent each day with Ante in his comfortable Mercedes van, as he took us to the spots we had requested and many others we would never have experienced if it wasn’t for him. Ante shared his love of the beautiful country he grew up in with us, and his knowledge and expertise made these days the most special of our whole trip. There were many highlights, but the best one was the authentic Croatian old world lunch he arranged for us on his family property. The homemade dishes were incredible and the best meal of our trip! We can’t thank Ante enough for everything. It is our pleasure to highly recommend his private tours!

That was a nice trip with 9 days driving and taking care by Ante.
I planned a very intensive schedule thru 3 countries Montenegro Albania and BiH, from costal to mountain packed with boating and hiking.
Ante all the way drive safe, on schedule and care. As we need to go thru boarder a few times, he plan ahead which one save time. He also pre arrange a very good boat at Kotor and Vlore for us.
His car more than enough for 9pax with medium luggage.
Most important we all love his arrangement to his living area with also the Farm To Table luncheon. The brunch (home made ham and cheese) follow with visit Moster , then back for full table luncheon ( we also get his homemade liquor and essential oil)
For pricing, I would say very reasonable (9 day drive + 1 luncheon for 8pac) compare to my first planning of self driving.
Only with his driving that I can go thru so many places in 9 days I such smooth.
I absolutely will ask for 2 rounds Balkans (inner countries) or for elderly visit Balkans

What to expect
DAY1. Split -Klis - Hardomilje
We will pick up you in your accommodation and have city tour.
Split dating back to the 4th century BC, it offers awesome views of greater Split and the nearby islands. From Klis it's a short drive down to Split to see the UNESCO site of Diocletian's Palace which is over 1,700 years old. The town's history is truly fascinating along with it's architecture from the 12th- and 13th-century Romanesque churches, medieval fortifications, 15th-century Gothic palaces and other palaces in Renaissance and Baroque style.
Day2. Old Hardomilje village, Ljubuški Fort, Herceg Stjepana Fort, St. Anthony's monastery
Old Hardomilje is situated on the ancient Roman trading route from Narona to Salona and is an authentic village with it's characteristic limestone houses and has been home to generations of families. The views from this hillside village are majestic and the whole setting truly unique.From here you'll drive to the medieval Ljubuski Fort hearing about it's history and seeing this impressive structure close up. The day continues to the nearby St. Anthony's monastery monastery seeing artefacts which date back from the Roman era. A fantastic local experience.

The Trebižet river flows through the Ljubuski field where you'll enjoy an easy 45 min boat ride with homemade food and beverages.

Day4.Hands on Culinary Tour
Dating from the Roman times, the Ljubuski field has been a rich bread basket for the region. As a special treat, my family & I would love to host you on a hands on culinary tour which starts at the fields where you pick the organically grown crops and be part of the cooking experience. Menus vary from traditional pies where you roll your own dough to the acclaimed iron dome Peka roast. All this food is complimented with rich side dishes, salads & homemade brandies & wines.
