Great intro to Korcula - Saša was a great tour guide. Even before we left for Croatia, he sent us tips for what to see and do on Korcula, which I very much appreciated. During our hour tour of old town, he gave us a run down of the history of the town, as well as shared what it was like growing up there. I loved those stories as it really helped bring alive what life was like back then. The tour on the whole was a great way to get introduced to old town Korcula.

Must hire for your Korćula visit - Saša was a great communicator - we receive emails before our tour day with great tips on Korćula. He was passionate about his town of birth and proud to show us all the beautiful corners of it. He was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and available to answer any of our questions. Thank you for making our stay in Korćula special and memorable. Looking forward to being back for more. Até breve!

Excellent Tour with Saša! - Saša was fantastic! He gave us such a thorough and fun tour, with lots of history and fun facts about his home island. It was so fun getting to know the spots where he played as a boy, while also learning about the art and history of Korcula. It was a great way to spend an evening in Korcula, especially as first time visitors.

Highly recommend at Korcula tour with Sasa! - We had a wonderful tour of Korcula with Sasa Vukas. We especially enjoyed his childhood memories, growing up in the old city. We learned a lot, at our own pace, and even had coffee with Sasa afterwards.
