Hello. I'm Mario, your local expert for Montenegro

Active online: 9h ago

I have a Masters in Industrial Engineering but what I am truly passionate about is traveling. Creating tailor made itineraries for Croatia and the Balkans is what I love doing. Before that, I’ve been working as a boat skipper and a private driver / tour guide for 5 years - so you know you're in best hands, with someone who knows the products in and out.

My travel goal: find the perfect balance between your wishes and the offers here in the Balkans. Let me make your perfect trip come true.

Trip to Croatia

“We began planning our trip to Croatia 8 months in advance. We were fortunate to have Mario assigned as our in country agent. In those 8 months Mario gave us feedback on all of our ideas on where in the country to travel and what would be the best use of our 12 days. He recommended hotels, restaurants & tours. Then we were able to look over the recommendations and get back to him with detailed questions. He was diligent in his replies. Then to arrive in country and have the most wonderful driver, Tino, who spent days with us filled with knowledge and wonderful hospitality. Next came the exceptional tour guides full of historic knowledge and enthusiasm for their profession. We returned home knowing we want to return to Croatia one day! The 4 couples traveling together all expressed that this was a 5star experience thanks to Mario and his team.”

Split, Dalmatian Islands and Dubrovnik Tour

“Our trip to Croatia was splendid. Each day was different and thoughtfully planned. We enjoyed varied experiences and the local guides and drivers selected by Mario were especially suited to our expectations. Planning the trip with Mario was a pleasure- he was attentive to my questions and gave thoughtful answers to my concerns. He completely understood the type of trip I was envisioning, and went above and beyond. I can’t imagine a better guide. All the people in my group of seven raved!”
