“Who travels, lives twice”. I truly live by my motto, having always been fascinated by Earth’s beauties. I have stayed abroad several times and my studies in tourism have further helped to reach my goal of one day traveling the whole globe.I believe that everyone deserves to enjoy the utmost from their holidays. Around the Sorrentine Peninsula, there are many “secret” places, our little corners of paradise and others where you can live an immersive Italian experience in nature or travel back to the time of the Romans. This country is truly stunning and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Our tour operator has been in operation for over three generations and over those decades we have developed excellent relationships with suppliers all over Italy. Our suppliers are as diverse as our travelers, so no matter if you prefer a farm B&B in Toskana or a 5 star hotel in Sicily, we are able to tailor the ideal package around your trip. Day excursions and transfers can be either private or shared and you will have a wide variety to choose from. We also have specialized staff on hand helping to celebrate special occasions, such as destination weddings or vow renewals in Italy and they will accompany you every step of the way.

Our tours are best suited to those wanting to make the most of their time in Italy without having to worry about logistics.

I have always loved travel and adventure. Having grown up in a small Central European country, I was used to visiting foreign countries from a very young age onwards and knew that this is what I wanted to do in my life: create the best adventures possible for travelers.

In 2006, I founded my own agency together with my partner Mojca. We focus on private and small group tour adventures all over Central Europe and the Balkans. With 15 years in business, we are proud to have excellent relationships with suppliers in all our countries.

Our tours are best suited for those wanting to visit several European countries at once.

I grew up in Croatia and ever since I was a little girl, my parents took me hiking and out in nature to explore our surroundings. Not only did that turn me into a travel lover but it also instilled a deep appreciation to nature in me. I love spending time outdoors, with my family, friends and 2 dogs.

After school, I started working as a travel guide in Croatia and have explored our beautiful country from A to Z. On educational tours, cultural tours, and of course - nature tours.

These days, I prefer to work from the office to design the best trips to Croatia and surrounding countries for travelers. We can arrange private transfers, boat trips, rental cars, and much more, all for individual travelers as well as those planning to travel with friends or family.

Unexpected Rome experience

11/8/2022

Everything was great with the pickup and flight home. We were sad to leave Rome, but the experience was great. I would like to give you some feedback on the tour directly. Overall, the Unexpected Rome experience was fantastic. I have already commented on our first two days. The cooking experience was probably our most exciting day. I would encourage anyone wanting to get a taste of Rome to do so with this tour. We made several pastas in a beautiful villa in a Medieval town, and then of course we ate what we made, it was truly great. The next day, we went to Ostia. What a great experience! We knew nothing about these ruins, and the tour guide was again great. On our last day, probably our second favorite, we had just a wonderful time visiting outside of Rome and tasting local foods. Also went to a great winery (we brought some of the wines home). Overall, Marcia and I would rate the experience a 10 out of 10. It was truly fabulous. We love your country, the people, the food, the history. Thank you for bringing it so much to life for us.

This is the second trip we’ve booked with Rough Guides, Spain last Fall (2021) and Italy this summer (Jul 2022). Both times our trips were perfect. Just the right amount of planned activities and free time. Would definitely use them again for future vacations!

Northern Italy for O'Brien family

We had a great time! The arrangements were great and the tour guides were fantastic. The one for Venice (Sara if I'm remembering right) was fantastic. Thanks again!

My husband and I; both seniors, made arrangements for a personalized tour of Rome, Naples and surrounding area. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Our guides were the 'Best'. They were over-flowing with info, personalities were A-1. We were sorry to leave them. Our drivers; though many, were all courteous, professional, and safety conscience. We would not hesitate to take another tour with all of our guides and drivers. The service is truly exceptional. And this is saying a lot for us because we have been traveling this world since 1988.
