Wonderful way to start your visit - My daughters and I really enjoyed our private tour with Saša. It was wonderful to learn some history of this enchanting island and hear stories from someone who has lived here his whole life. Saša also gave us great recommendations of places to eat and things to do. I hope we can visit this beautiful and charming area again soon! We highly recommend this personal tour over one with many people.

Highly recommend at Korcula tour with Sasa! - We had a wonderful tour of Korcula with Sasa Vukas. We especially enjoyed his childhood memories, growing up in the old city. We learned a lot, at our own pace, and even had coffee with Sasa afterwards.

Great tour from Saša! - Best part of the tour was learning about Korcula from someone who was born and raised there. Saša was very knowledgeable and spent more than the 1 1/2 hours.
