Wonderful Day Trip!

Tiffany_V, Feb 2022

Tonya picked up our family of 5 from our apartment in Zagreb in a private comfortable van. This is a day trip but ABSOLUTELY worth it! The history in these 3 cities is unbelievable! You feel like you are in Italy! We walked through all the cities, saw a bunch of the main churches, basilica and had lunch at an Italian restaurant right on the water with a beautiful view! Our favorite part was the Colosseum. We have seen so many all over the world, but this was very intact, and they are always so breathtaking in view. We ended the night getting hot coco and letting our children enjoy the Christmas village in the square. Tonya was so wonderful with our children!

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Dear Tiffany, thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you and your children. Well mannered with so much patience for us adults and our requests made the day so easy and enjoyable :) I'm happy that you have nice memories form our day trip. I wish you all the best :)

Great job Tanya and Viatica Travel

I had a fantastic time with Tanya, who very quickly became a very good friend. She was both knowledgeable of the Istrian area and very friendly/easy to get on with. I would highly recommend her services (and the rest of Viatica Travel) for any prospective travelers to Croatia, Slovenia or Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Response from Host, Jan 2021

Thank you Basanth for this excellent review :) I had a great day and I wish you all the best with your career and your travels :)

Lovely Istria

Tanija was a most excellent guide. It was quite a drive from Zagreb, but so worth it to see the old Illyria of Rome. The colosseum was incredible...

Response from Host, Oct 2020

Thank you Barbara and Steve. :)

Long trip!

Melanie_L, Oct 2019

It was a long trip and truth to tell, there was not much to see. Our guide, Milan, was very nice but he didn't really say much about each destination. He was nice, friendly, funny, accommodating but I didn't learn much about each place because he gave us very little or no info about each place we visited. He drove us to all these places, let us off, told us how many minutes we had in each place and that was it! I could have given this tour a miss!

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Thank you for your review. I understand that the tour is long. We wrote in our explanation of the tour that the tour is minimum 12 hours. The thing is that since we know when someone has only one day to get to know a destination we try to show as many spots possible. Sometimes it makes the day longer but we think its worth it. Thank you also for your comment on the guide. We made improvements based on your comment.

Private tour from Zagred to Rovinj,Pula & Porec

Pick up at your hotel and your convenience time to your request. Totally private and you can re arranged your itinerary & places you like to spend more time. Got to see 3 great places in a day. My driver/guide was so informative with the history and surrounding and I learned a lot in just a day.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thank you for a perfect review :) Istria Tour is always a challenge with all the driving and sightseeing, but we are so delighted you were happy with our services :)

Beautiful sights, great experience

Our private tour of Istria was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and offered us options of sites to visit based on our interests. Rovinj was the jewel of the trip. A beautiful Venetian seaside town with the feel of Italy. Recommend taking a boat tour to get another perspective of the town and surrounding islands. The medieval town of Hum was very quaint and reminded us of the hillside towns in Tuscany. Would highly recommend this tour.

excellent

Istria Or Tuscany

FongPeck_S, May 2019

Sasha was a fun, honest and kind man. He took full responsible of his duties, we finished the tour around 12mid night due to bad weather and shopping. However, he was patiently waiting for us. We learned alot from Sasha on the history and local culture. It is definitely a must go private tour!
