"we bought our plant tickets to Dubrovnik about 48 hours before departure and had nothing booked. Within that time frame Melita planned out our 5 day trip to Dubrovnik and Split, lined up hotels, a guide in each city and recommended restaurants. We had a fantastic holiday as a result - Many thanks Melita!"

"Melita was terrific in helping four of us, two couples from the US, have a wonderful trip in Slovenia and Croatia in the fall of 2019. She was very responsive and went the extra mile helping us decide and map out our itinerary and recommended and helped us make reservations for accommodations that matched our wishes."

She came up with an itinerary that helped us see a lot of her beautiful country and tailored it to our needs, great restaurant recommendations too! I enjoyed working with a local who wants share what’s special about her country with guests."

We were connected with Melita to help plan our trip in July 2021 to Croatia. We decided having someone local to help us navigate while the pandemic was still happening would make sense and it was a great decision. First, the cost per day to get a completely custom itinerary was worth it on its own. Melita asked questions about what we wanted to do and see, about our interests and with information created a perfect itinerary that included details like travel time, where to eat (which was important to us) things not to miss, etc. While we were in the middle of our trip she was also our "phone a friend" when we needed to get a question answered or help with new lodging. She was super responsive and always detailed in her response. I would highly recommend Melita for any kind of group wanting to visit Croatia- families, friends, couples, whatever. She is an amazing resource and I will definitely recommend her to anyone I know visiting the beautiful Croatia.
