Delicacies of Central Istria - history and food tour

Hello dear travelers, my name is Mario and I have been working as a professional guide for the past 8 years with a license for Istrian Penninsula, Primorje-Gorski Kotar, Lika-Senj and Karlovac region as well as the Zagreb county and the city of Zagreb (basically covering the whole western and central Croatia). Originally I am from Zagreb, the Croatian capital, but I moved to Opatija some time ago with my wife Sara and our one-year-old twin daughters Lea and Ela. I've got my masters as an Engineer of Road Traffic and Transport, however I found that I like working in the field, taking to people and sharing my love and knowledge about my country much more then office work. At first it was just city sightseeing tours of Zagreb, then smaller tours, and ended up guiding larger tours as well, but what I really enjoy the most is taking smaller groups of travelers on excursions or tours around the region, getting to know them and their interest and tailoring the tour to each group or each person. With small groups, we can discover off the beaten paths, go behind the evident, walk through the market and explore food, taste, and smell, discover local crafts and much more which you wouldn't be able to do with a larger group. Also, everyone's interests are different, and having a smaller group gives us the opportunity to focus on the traveler's interest so it becomes more interesting and personal.
