My name is Ivana and I am a licensed local tour guide for Istra, Primorje&Gorski Kotar, and Lika county in Croatia. My passions are traveling, languages, music, singing, food, tennis, and cats :) Much of my work experience has always been connected with tourism and people, but a tour guide license is what gave me an opportunity to fulfill my thirst for exploring, learning, and sharing experience with other people. Guided and inspired by one vision, I want to raise awareness about personalized travel and help independent travelers to have less familiar, less stressed, and more valuable guided tours in Croatia. I will create a preliminary itinerary, then we will continue to work closely with you to refine all details of your trip until you are sure it is your dream vacation. Croatia offers much more than nice weather, beaches, and beautiful landscapes. I will show you how it is to live and breathe Croatia and explore with you its mesmerizing, untouched nature, rich history, cultural heritage, and finest gastronomical experiences. My tours are highly customized to match your requirements and expectations. Croatia is full of life, let me show you. Welcome! Driver license Certified Tour Guide for Istra, Primorje&Gorski Kotar and Lika county (Croatia), I am not permitted to guide in any other languages except English. I am not permitted to give tours in any other county in Croatia, except Istra, Primorje&Gorski Kotar and Lika, but I can be a travel companion or a driver guide in restricted areas.

Join me for a full-day tour of two of the most attractive towns in Kvarner Bay—Rijeka and Opatija, both very close to my heart. We begin in Rijeka, Croatia’s third-largest city, known for its powerful mix of ancient history, industrial heritage, and modern culture. Rijeka proudly held the title of European Capital of Culture 2020, and its past is full of fascinating stories. Did you know the torpedo was invented here? Or that Rijeka was one of the most important ports of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy? You’ll also hear about the ship Carpathia’s last stop here before sailing to rescue Titanic survivors, and why Rijeka hosts one of the world’s largest carnivals. Then we head to Opatija, once a fashionable Austro-Hungarian winter and health resort, today one of Croatia’s most refined destinations. Surrounded by historic villas, lush botanical gardens, stunning sea views, and the famous 14 km Lungomare promenade, Opatija is often called the Croatian Monte Carlo.
Ivana is an absolute gem. She is energetic, outgoing and instantly makes you feel as if you're visiting with an old friend. It is clear that she loves her city and the opportunity to show you why. Her English is excellent and she communicates clearly and effectively. Do not hesitate to book a tour with her.
