Guiding Tours is something that I consider more than just a profession, the part that I like even more is meeting people from all over the world. . . and as long as I will be passionate as I am, I will do it best possible way. Satisfied and well-informed guest is my primary goal, and since I am the one representing and presenting this beautiful corner of the world I am coming from, it is always my greatest honour and pleasure to see happy guests after the tour I organize and provide. According to my "style", it is not that much about the facts you can find and read in classic guidebooks, Internet or any other source, it is according to guests specific interests or needs, no matter if it is about history (which is btw. my eternal hobby nr. 1), lifestyle, nature or anything else. . . I am a guide with answers, eloquent, communicative, sometimes with local humour that spices up the story even more. . . :) Croatia as my homeland and Adriatic - Mediterranean - Central European - Balkan Region of Istria is indeed a beautiful corner of the world and I appreciate that more and more visitors are coming to see it and experience it. If you wish to see it with an insider with more than thirty years of experience as a Tour Guide, you have found the right person here. I am offering you a nice selection of tours that are not only popular and very well accepted by guests but also favoured by me. Otherwise, if you have any specific interests or preferences, I will be more than happy to prepare a custom-tailored tour for you, to enhance your pleasure and experience even more. . . *** WELCOME!!! - DOBRODOŠLI!!! - BENVENUTI!!! - WILLKOMMEN!!! *** Licensed Local Guide for Istarska Zupanija (Istria Region) since 1997.

Bronze Age in situ Archaeological Site - orientation trip
Overview of your Rovinj tour
Monkodonja hill is located 5 km east from Rovinj. On the hilltop (75m) you can visit the remains of one of the most interesting Bronze Age (1800 - 1200 BC) archaeological sites in Europe. It was discovered in 1953 and it is one of 350 prehistoric settlements remains on the Istrian Peninsula. Due to serious excavations and researches within the last 20 years conducted by Berlin University and AMI Pula, the conclusion is that Monkodonja is one of most valuable sites in Europe from that period. The town was entirely built by local limestone with dry-wall technique, divided into 3 sections: Acropolis - highest part for highest ranked members of the community, the middle part with remains of workshops and living houses, and lover part with more than 1 km long defensive wall. Monkodonja could be one of most valuable prehistoric sites in this part of Europe when more or fully researched - beside of being historic it is also a very spiritual and transcendental place, for those who like it?
