"Dobrodosli" - Welcome friends! Ever since I could remember I've always wanted to travel all over the globe. . . . and now I became an untiring traveler and travels became my life! Since then on, I have been visiting most of the world, its oceans, and seas, islands, mountains and volcanoes, deserts, jungles, remote tribes, etc. Among all world's gems, I might also point out the region where I live - the Balkan peninsula. It provides so many beauties and diversities concentrated in a small place that is difficult to find anywhere else in the world. Untouched and charming Mediterranean coast with thousands of islands, Alps mountain range, biggest caves, lovely castles, ancient remains, natural wonders, the mixture of different religions, civilized and primitive people, modern and old, a touch of Orient and its culture, pleasant weather, perfect gastronomy, . . . I do tirelessly discover these hidden pearls of our small Balkan paradise every year. I just simply love it! In my tours, you will not just visit the country as everyone do, but feel and enjoy every single tour differently with decades of my own experiences. So my friends, are you ready to touch the deepness of our Balkan and its unique cultures? I possess a valid tourist guide license for all EU countries. The world is my home and I spend half of the year working abroad every year as a tour guide for almost three decades. There are only a few countries I have not been visited, thus I have the privilege to combine the knowledge and experiences from almost everywhere in the world. This enlightenment is delivered to you for a better understanding of Croatia, its surrounding area, and the Balkan peninsula.

Overview of your Zagreb tour

This day trip is simply dedicated to water, its beauty, its attractions and its life. The star shape town of Karlovac, sitting on 4 rivers, is suitable for the presentation of the natural richness of our fresh waters. Its world's rare freshwater aquarium is very unique experience by itself. Plitvice lakes NP (Unesco) is also unique in the world. Its lakes are connected by waterfalls and its lakes are constantly changing in shape. The last gem is Rastoke, a small traditional village with huge waterfalls everywhere around playing the loud music. Here the time stopped centuries ago. This is our perfect spot for traditional diner. Imagine water everywhere around you, big waterfalls, deep lakes, bluish rivers in just one day. So relaxing and so picturesque like a real dream story of fairy-tail creatures. To benefit even more I will take you to some hidden places for postcard like views and trails that avoid huge masses of tourists, especially inside the Plitvice lakes NP. All in all, it is just an amazing tour

Senad was a great guide. He was very proactive in recommending alternative itinerary due to bad weather and arranged a fabulous day of sightseeing We visited Krka Falls but also had the opportunity to see less well traveled sights such as vista overlooking Croatian islands and small village on the sea. We had a very fun day.

A great itinerary; a perfect day to commune with nature; a very peaceful hike at Plitvice Lakes NP; the hidden gems at Restoke were absolutely spectacular; the visit to the fresh water aquarium en route was a nice addition; great conversations and invaluable local perspectives on many issues; highly resourceful and informative; a brilliant guide. Thank you Senad.

We had two tours with Senad - a Zagreb city tour, and a customized Plitvice Lakes tour where we did almost all the hiking trails, plus a stop in Rastoke for dinner. Both were excellent - the city tour included plenty of current commentary and interesting stops (and a stop for excellent beer and local foods). Plitvice Lakes was spectacular; Senad helped us minimize our exposure to the crowds, and the drive down was an education in the effect of the Balkan war on the country. Highly recommended.

An amazing day. Senad introduced me a beautiful part of Croatia. He listened to what my interests were and even made sure I had the chance to try some local foods. He was knowledgeable about not only the locations we visited but also the history and cultural information that wove a story of those places. I highly recommend his service!

Had a fantastic day tour with Senad to Plitvice lakes. Senad was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who happily put up with me taking photos every two minutes. He knew so much about the area and how the lakes were created, which was very interesting. I cannot recommend Senad highly enough, he is one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
