Tour Highlights
Far too many tourists rush through this area, only getting a glance at its beauty and little time to stop and appreciate its many charms, friendly locals and the wonderful wine & food. Our style of travel is different - you get to take your time and soak in all the lovely region has to offer. When we started our business nearly five years ago this was our first organized tour - and it’s always been my personal favorite tour to run. If you want a genuine travel experience with some seriously good food - this is the tour for you.
For 2011 we’ve added a few new places to the itinerary including Losinj Island and Mt. Ucka on Croatia’s Kvarner Gulf.
