“This was a trip of a lifetime! Wanda's love for her heritage is evident and she helped us see beyond what is listed in a tour book while ensuring that all guests are pampered. This is a perfect opportunity for individual attention (our group was limited to 8) & welcoming to solo travelers with or without international travel experience.
”
“Our trip to a Croatia with Wanda was absolutely extraordinary and exceeded all our expectations. From island hopping in the stunning Dalmatian region to indulging in private wine tours, truffle hunts and a magical evening in Pula's Roman amphitheatre to see an Andrea Bocelli concert in Istria, each experience was uniquely taliored to us. We didn't stop smiling from the moment we arrived. She is awesome!!
