Great tour of a little city in the Croatian Riviera - Tina's tour of Opatija (her hometown) was such a great way to learn a little bit about the region on our longer driving our of Northern Croatia and Slovenia! Tina was so friendly and smart and knowledgeable about the area, and communicative (explaining where to meet and when she arrived, etc.). Opatija is an interesting small city and definitely stood out from some of the other places we visited on our trip. But without Tina, I'm not sure we would have really understood how interest Opatija is! She tailed our tour for us (taking us to a market and a shop she recommended), in addition to showing us Opatija's main highlights. She was great. The tour was great. Highly recommend.

The best tour guide ever! - Sarah our guide was one of the best tour guides I have ever experienced. She was knowledgeable and pleasant, but more than that, shared her personal stories and experiences of living in Opatija. It transformed our view of the city and the place from just a pretty town to a place where people lived and thrive.

An easy knowledgeable tour guide. - Sarah was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the history, where to go, eat out, and where to shop. It was an easy tour, and well worth the time and money. Before the tour we saw Opatija as a seaside town, and afterwards we were richer for the experience and knowledge, and saw Opatija differently.

Wonderful Tour! - Excellent tour! Our tour guide was very pleasant and VERY informative. He also respected our our request to wear a mask and keep social distancing. It got a bit hot in the sun on part of the walk back, but this was no fault of the guides. He was an exceptional guide.

Really enjoyable tour. - We booked this tour as we were visiting Opatija for the day on a cruise. We met Dani at the tender drop off location. After a quick introduction we walked to the shade of the park and had a quick chat about the history of the town. From that moment I realized Dani was super knowledgeable and passionate about history of the town and the region. Besides being a beautiful seaside resort town there is such an interesting history of leadership and change in the region. Dani did a great job connecting stories of Opatija with Austrian royalty, with Venetian influence, and much more. The town is great to just walk and wander but for a very reasonable price you can leave with so much more info and a better sense of the area.
