Fairy tale Castles and Wine Tasting - We had a marvelous day with Tomislav, he was on time to pick us up from the hotel. Very knowledgeable about the sights and such a great person to be with all day. We felt like we made a new friend in Croatia. He even helped us with dinner suggestions and reservations for that evening. We will always remember him as a friend in Croatia not just a guide.

I can't recommend this tour enough! - We had a fantastic experience on this tour! The castles were beautiful and interesting. The wine tasting and visit to the vineyard was fun and we thought the value for the experience was top notch. Tomislav was a friendly and knowledgable driver; we had a great time with him!

2/3 awesome 1/3 disaster - First of all our driver, Tom was punctual and spoke great English! Trakošćan Castle is beautiful and ticket is included in the price. Also the wine tasting is awesome, if you're into this type of entertainment! My negative experience was with the second castle. It is pretty and has a lot of history but it is owned by a mean rich beggar. Imagine Ebenezer Scrooge -in female form. She is so rich, she owns a castle and things that cost hundreds of thousands -if not millions- and plays it poor. If you are weak, you will end up paying her for her lies. And you will also be encouraged by the driver to give her money (that is not TAXED as she gives no receipt for donations!!!) - which makes the entire experience worse. I would advise the agency to keep the Trakošćan and wine tasting experience and avoid the tourist scam lady.
