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. Tourist guide license course (Croatian official license for professional guides) - Vern - University of Applied Sciences in Zagreb, Croatia, 2015 - Zagreb city and Zagreb region (English and Croatian) - Aspira, Zagreb, Croatia 2018 - Primorsko-Goranska, Istarska, Karlovačka and Ličko-Senjska county (English and Croatian) I am licensed for the following regions: Istrian peninsula, Kvarner bay (Primorsko-Goranska county), Lika-Senj region, Zagreb city and Zagreb area and Karlovac region. For other countries and regions I can guide while on the road.

Overview of your Opatija tour

Join me on an exciting journey from Opatija to Slovenia's hidden wonders, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. Departing from Opatija, we embark on a scenic drive through Slovenia, arriving at Postojna Cave, where we enter the mesmerizing depths of Postojna Cave. Board a train for a thrilling ride through the labyrinthine tunnels, marveling at the spectacular rock formations illuminated by soft lighting. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, we continue our exploration on foot, delving deeper into the cave's secrets for a total tour duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes. After our underground adventure, enjoy a well-deserved 30-minute break to relax and replenish before we bid farewell to Postojna. Next, we journey to the enchanting Predjama Castle, perched dramatically in the heart of a cliff. Explore the castle's rich history and intriguing architecture as we uncover tales of medieval knights and daring escapades. As the afternoon draws to a close, we depart from Predjama Castle and begin our return journey.
