Our private wine tour from Zagreb was with Tihana and Tom from T & T Travel Boutique The whole day went smoothly and we felt very well looked after. From the airconditioned van, to the expert commentary, the stops along the way and the wonderful views, it was a delight from start to finish. Of course visiting the winery, with its stunning views and delicious wine with cheese and meat platter was the highlight. Another highlight was spending time with Tihana and Tom who were so friendly and helpful, not just on this tour, but for the rest of our time in Croatia. They are both a wealth of knowledge of the best things to do and see in all parts of Croatia, and have some great restaurant recommendations as well.
