Wow, where do i start. just a fantastic tour with Rafaella We drove to Zadar then Trogir and then Split. tremendous patience by Ella as the traffic was crazy busy. We had such a great day with city tours, History lessons and of course many food and drink stops to experience the local Croatian Cuisine! I was picked up at my Zagreb Hotel and delivered to my Split Hotel with fantastic stops along the way. if you are visiting Croatia, do yourself a favor and book Rafaella for all her tours. thanks again Ella

Very professional and fun tour guide and Driver. Ella was great. They stayed in constant communication prior to pick up and were on time. Friendly and funny and most of all they assured the day was to our liking. Not rushed at all. They even let us start an hour later since we got in late on our arrival flight and needed a little extra sleep. Definitely recommend. Cave and Ljubljana were an excellent day trip from Zagreb.

My friends and I booked Ella's Truffle Hunting tour on our last day in Zagreb, and we can honestly say that we saved the best for last. From the moment she picked us up at 8:00 AM, Ella filled our day with happiness with her humor and charisma. The truffle hunting tour was the highlight of our trip, being able to search out and then cook a delicious meal with the truffles we found will be one of my fondest memories of my time in Croatia. Don't sleep on Ella and her tours!

Rafaella's (Ella) tour of Croatia was fantastic! Excellent pre-trip communication, customized (yet flexible) itinerary, fun personality, and excellent translation skills made her the ideal guide to Croatia. Our 11 day Dubrovnik to Zagreb trip covered all the highlights (local guides, traditional Croatian foods, beautiful sites) plus visits with our Croatian family, where her translation skills made it comfortable and fun. It was the trip of a lifetime thanks to Ella! (Kudos to our driver, Dražen, too!)

Plitvice is one of the busiest/most tourist places in Croatia. It is for good reason, the place is absolutely gorgeous. That said you are going to need a great guide. Ella is that person. Ella was able to navigate the lakes with great ease. Not only that she got us to some of the off the beaten path places and I really feel like we saw a lot of things most didn't. Her knowledge of the lakes is top notch. If you are gonna go I would definitely recommend Ella for you trip.

We would like to commend and thank our guide Rafaella and driver, Drazen for the most complete and comprehensive tour of Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia/Herzegovina. We appreciate their punctuality, flexibility and professionalism. They're very accommodating and very nice people with the best disposition. Thank you for the suggestions in changing part of the itinerary, which were beautiful experiences such as truffle hunting in Motovun and the Sibenik Falconry Centre.
