My wife and I are frequent travelers to all parts of the world and we certainly want to comment on Hrvoje and his team at Croatia Private Tours. We planned a 12 night stay here about three or four months in advance and had already booked flights and hotels for the stay. We have found that having someone local to drive and to provide guide services is the best option for us, especially on our first visit. In this case, we began by talking with a couple of the large private tour guide companies. The prices seemed outrageous and we didn’t get the feeling that we would get very personalized service. We found Croatia Private Tours as we continued our research and now that we are on our last day of the trip we are delighted we did. We had scheduled 4 nights in Split, 3 nights in Hvar and 4 nights in Dubrovnik. During the trip, he organized a tour of the Palace in Split, a Krka waterfall day trip, multiple winery stops, multiple private boat trips, a tour of the walled city of Dubrovnik, a Montenegro day trip all in addition to helping us handle lunch and dinner reservations each day. He and his team were amazing and we can’t praise them enough for their communication, professionalism and extremely personalized assistance. Hrvoje continuously adjusted his schedule to meet our needs and requests as well as offering many great recommendations. We will absolutely be using Croatia Private Tours when we return and give Hrvoje and his team our highest recommendation!

Browsing the Internet to plan a trip is a daunting task but our trip to Croatia turned out to be a breeze. We were pretty sure of the places we wanted to visit but we were looking for some personalised options. Out of the three travel agencies we contacted, Croatia Private Tours, stood out for its very prompt response. Hrvoje, the owner, not only gave us tailored options, his package was the most reasonable. He even suggested that we discussed details on Skype so that we could get a clear picture of what he was offering. He suggested we visit all the main attractions of Croatia and a few off the beaten path. What stood out for us was Hrvoje’s willingness to alter and adjust our trip even while we were traveling. It was his suggestion that we hire a car for the entire trip and he would drive us from the north in Zagreb to Dubrovnik in the south. On the way, we could stop pretty much wherever we wanted for short breaks and take in the beautiful coastal scenery. Hrvoje was a very pleasant person and very easy to talk to, very helpful but not intrusive. He spoke of his country with a balanced view and did not shy away from its shortcomings. Our boys enjoyed conversing with him during the long drives. He was always on time for drops and pickups and his Mercedes van with wifi made our trip super comfortable. Croatia is a beautiful country and it was made even more so because of Hrvoje! I would highly recommend Croatia Private Tours!

From the moment we arrived at the airport until we departed, four of us (2 couples) were treated to an extremely pleasant, fun and memorable trip. Hrvoje (aka Henry) and his associate Marin each spent 5 days with us. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional and caring group of young men. Their small company is only a few years old, yet well organized, personal and very traveler friendly. You will find them honest, hardworking and eager to please. One of the reasons I chose them was the perceived personal nature. I wasn’t disappointed. As we designed this tour to be private and flexible, Hrvoje spent much time putting together an itinerary that complimented our wishes. Prior to the trip, we corresponded by Skype and email. No question or request was too small and I felt comfortable and confident while conversing. Their pricing is also extremely fair. Transport was in a clean, comfortable Mercedes van which also gave us access to wifi. This was important as we traveled from North to South, mostly along the coastline. Depending on the locale and our interests, we were also provided with local guides that gave us even more in-depth viewpoints. Even though we had an itinerary, any time we chose to deviate, we were able to alter without any question. Our trip was designed around 5 towns that we used as a base. Lubjiana (Slovenia), Rovinj, Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. This allowed us to experience not only these particular towns but all that was around them as well. We were in constant motion but also had enough time to relax and explore. Whether or not you wish a diverse multi-day tour, a day trip or an airport pick-up, I offer a strong recommendation!

I rarely ever review things, but this one is long and warranted. It takes a leap of faith to trust someone to drive you around in a foreign country where you don’t speak the language and Hrvoje (“Henry”) delivered four times on our family trip to Split. We used his company for airport transfers and two day trips and each driver was professional and friendly and the vehicles were all of immaculate caliber and comfortably contained our party of six. If you are traveling in a group for day trips, I highly suggest you skip the mass tour buses and pony up a little bit more to use Henry’s private cars. The ride will not only undoubtedly be more comfortable, but you will also be able to tailor your itinerary to suit your whims and be paired with a knowledgeable driver who will entertain you with myriad facts and interesting local perspectives in impeccable English. Our first day trip was to Plitvice Lakes National Park and our second day trip was to Dubrovnik and if I thought the first driver was patient, the second one was even more so. As families are often wont to do, we argued and changed our mind about whether we wanted to stop at Ston on the way back and he patiently drove us there, stopped for us to take a picture at Little Ston and then took us to Big Ston where he arranged an impromptu oyster tasting which we ultimately decided against because of said arguments and took it all in stride. He also indulged us in another honey and olive oil purchasing pit stop on the way back to Split. The scenery on the long drive was beautiful and my family enjoyed the driver’s vast knowledge of Croatia and multiple topics from IT to philosophy. Although we never got to meet Henry, he was super responsive prior to and during our trip. I will certainly be using Henry’s service again when I return and recommending it to everyone I know. Seriously, do yourself a favor and use his services, it will make your stay in beautiful Split that much more amazing!

I organized a 9-day tour directly with Hrvoje (business owner) a few months before our tour in May 2018. for a group of 3 friends. I wanted to explore the best of both countries, so we discussed and agreed on a custom itinerary around popular highlights. Basically, they provide the transport and arranged for tours and activities as agreed. I did my own accommodation bookings in each city as this provided the best flexibility for the group. Our guide/driver Damir was very entertaining and engaging throughout our trip. He answered any queries we (3 ladies) had and always made sure we were safely transported from point to point in their very clean and comfortable Mercedes sedan. Damir was always punctual and greeted us with a smile at the start of the day! He was willing to share his experience and knowledge of the country, culture, and food and was very open-minded. He suggests nice photos stops and helps us takes photos without prompting. Thanks, Damir for the great week and for showing us your beautiful country and all the good quality local produce in each region! Croatia came as a little surprise package which I would recommend to anyone who is considering visiting the country. A private customized tour is the most efficient and convenient way to travel and explore – just write to Hrvoje and he will respond promptly. He will follow up from time to time before, during and even after the trip to make sure all was going OK. I believe he would provide any additional assistance required (not that we ever had any problems because the planning was so smooth and seamless anyway). No hesitation in recommending their services- just book and enjoy the Croatian hospitality!

12-day tour that was the best land tour. 100% satisfied. Company owner and his personally handpicked driver Mario were young professionals who had a strong pride in their region of origin and this was reflected in their efficient service. Best to do 3 days per city from Dubrovnik, Split, Rovinj, Ljubljana, and Zagreb. We visited sea resorts, caves, museums, national parks, caves, city tours, truffle hunting, and shopping galore. Hrvoje and Mario simply the best in suggesting places to visit, restaurants to eat and places to shop. A comfortable ride in luxury Mercedes Benz van and skillful, smooth, and safe driving across borders provided by Mario, personally handpicked by Hrvoje the tour owner. A tour company that deserves all the accolades in TripAdvisor and other travel sites. Deluxe Mercedes Benz provided comfortable ride for 5 passengers large capacity luggage load. Our van was always kept clean daily. Flexible in last minute changes in city tour options. Excellent guide Oliver in Split, two Ivanka tour guides and Mia in Zagreb. We grew comfortable with Mario our driver and we left our trip having new friends rather than business acquaintances. Croatia Private Tours outstanding service that shows pride in their region of origin and it shows with their professional and efficient service. Our 12-day trip was planned 6 months in advance to avail top hotels at discounted pricing. The length was just right with 2-night stopovers proving ample time to tour various sites as well as have a relaxing time to enjoy the hotel and tour the city. So happy with this tour that we will come back and visit again! This company is young but deserving of all the 5-star rating. Thank you Hrvoje and Mario (apologies for any misspelling). The memories of a lifetime in your beautiful region which you gave us are our best souvenir. To those planning to go to Eastern Europe, try Croatia Private Tours, you will not be disappointed. Honest, hardworking efficient professionals at a reasonable price. We are a demanding clientele but all of us in our tour group rated Croatia Private Tours Inc an outstanding rating!

A finales del abril del 2019, decidimos hacer un tour de 19 días por Eslovenia, Croacia, Bosnia y Montenegro. Escogimos a Croatia Private Tours. Nuestra decisión fue la correcta por varios motivos. La respuesta de Hrvoje fue inmediata y así siguió durante toda la organización del tour. Hrvoje quien tuvimos el placer de conocer personalmente, es un joven muy simpático, responsable capaz de resolver cualquier situación impredecible de forma rápida y eficiente. Los lugares recomendados, los hoteles, su personal, los vehículos, son de primera. En la primera parte del tour nos acompañó Damir . Viajar con Damir es como ir con un amigo muy divertido, quien nos demostró su gran amor por Croacia y su calidad humana. Responsable y puntual. Gran conocedor de buenos restaurantes lo cual, nos permitió conocer la gastronomía de cada sitio donde nos acompañó. Gracias Damir En la segunda parte del tour, nos acompañó Marko, un joven encantador, responsable, atento, puntual y divertido. Gracias Marko En cuanto a los guías que nos asignaron en cada localidad, todos muy buenos , pero debemos hacer una mención especial para Nadja Durmo nuestra guía en Sarajevo. Una muchacha encantadora que habla perfectamente el español quien nos demostró ser una gran profesional conocedora de la historia y cultura de su país. Gracias Nadja Por todas estas razones y mas, queremos recomendar a Croatia Private Tours.Fue un enorme placer conocer a gente tan encantadora y lugares tan hermosos e interesantes!

Contactamos a Hrvoje para que nos organizara un viaje de tres semanas a los Balcanes, nos interesaba que fuera un tour privado y de preferencia con un guía que hablara español. El viaje estuvo sensacional, nos recogieron en el aeropuerto en un coche de lujo, donde conocimos a nuestro guía que estaría con nosotros durante todo el viaje, Damir, desde el primer momento nos ganó con su calidez y simpatía. Empezamos en Zagreb y terminamos en Dubrovnik, los paisajes, la comida y la gente te dejan con ganas de volver. Damir es un experto en comida!!!!! tiene los mejores lugares, los mejores tips y las mejores sugerencias. Es un apasionado de su país y lo transmite en todo momento. Gracias Hrvoje por organizarlo todo tan bien! Gracias a Doro, nuestra guía en la ciudad de Zagreb, encantadora! y a nuestro guía en Split, fabuloso! y sobretodo a Damir por compartir todo con nosotros!
