When in Rovinj, you definitely deserve to go beyond the bay area with its cafés and restaurants, beyond the beaches and the cocktail bars. Because this place hides secrets that have so far been difficult to discover and explore for the individual traveler as city tours were only available for organised groups.

Let’s explore the everyday life of people living in Zagreb in the time of Yugoslavia! Yugoslav socialist system, unique and controversial, left many marks around the city. On this tour you’ll see both the old and abandoned factories whose signs rust on roof tops, and also factories that survived the transition and are still successful. We’ll also learn about the life in the well-known gigantic apartment building, listen to the 70s and 80s rock music and try to guess what happened to the former communist party headquarters building! You’ll get a unique chance to experience all that with a lot of history, fun facts, a drive in a Yugo, and a drink in one of the rare bars that got stuck in 1987!

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Snacks, Bottled water, Private transportation, Experienced licensed local guide, Ride in a original 33 year old classic Yugo, Detailed information about Zagreb's history and everyday life, Private tour

Exclusions: Gratuities

I've waited way too long to post this review as I wanted to sit and write a novel about how great everything was. However, I'm way overdue and just need to say that Grgo and his family made our trip to Hvar so special. My husband and I did the private Red tour and between the hospitality of Grgo and learning so much more about the Island than you can find by simply staying in town, this is a great option. PLENTY of wine too which is what we were looking for. Thank you, Grgo! We hope to return one day.

Highly recommend for a real authentic experience. My husband and I are digital nomads and we have experienced a lot of different tours around Europe but this was an absolute highlight for us. Spending the day with our guide Jadran was just like having a local friend take us out to all the best spots in Split, we felt like we got the very best local experience. Jadran was super knowledgeable, we had such a great time! We visited some amazing spots that you wouldn't get to experience on your own. We went to a fabulous family run winery and also had an incredible feast at a local home, it was very unique and something you can't experience in a restaurant. It was a long day but it felt well timed and very relaxed, we also came home absolutely stuffed from all the wonderful food! If you love food, wine, a taste of history and good company this is the perfect tour.

We booked the wine tasting tour not knowing what to expect .there was only four of us on the trip even when fully maximum of 8 person . Lovely wine guide called Tena who was very knowledgable not only about the wine but as a local the city and culture . We had a great day sampling wines which we would not have found if we had been alone . Well worth the cost will do again in the future and recommend to friends

Four of us took a day trip to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. Igor was our guide and was fantastic. We started off early in the morning stopping for coffee with a view, a visit to Perast, a drive up the mountain behind Kotor with a stop for drinks with a view to die for, then on to the village of Njegusi where we visited a local smokehouse and had a wonderful traditional lunch. We visited the old city of Kotor in the afternoon and then headed back to Dubrovnik. It was a full day spent in the good company of Igor, who was knowledgable, friendly and most of all, fun. The tour was reasonably priced and there was good communication with the company before the tour. They were even able to accommodate a last minute switch in tour days due to predicted bad weather. I would highly recommend using this company for a day trip to Montenegro.
