Custom Private Tour of Croatia
- Krka + Sibernik: Krka National Park is a picturesque environment with flowing waterfalls. With your expert guide and driver, we head to the Krka National Park, where we have the opportunity to wander over wooded trails and streams, before taking in the natural beauty of the falls. After leaving the National Park, we take a boat down the river to the charming village of Skradin. From here, with your expert guide and driver, we continue our exploration with a stunning drive to the coastal town of Sibenik. The town’s medieval history is evident with the Cathedral of St. James, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (8 hours)
- Mostar + Medjugorje: Explore the mix of Christian and Ottoman influences on a day trip to Mostar and Medjugorje. Beginning on the coast before heading inland to cross into neighboring Bosnia & Herzegovina, your expert guide will explain the local history; from its Ottoman legacy to the break-up of Yugoslavia and resulting war. Arriving in Mostar, the town’s historical diversity is immediately evident. Most famously, Mostar’s resorted 16th-century bridge crossing the Neretva River, which was originally destroyed during the conflict in the 1990s, is a testament to its Ottoman influence. With your expert guide, we will have the opportunity to taste Mostar’s local cuisine; from a variety of kebabs to baklava. Afterward, we head to the iconic pilgrimage site of Medjugorje; famous for apparently healing people with serious illnesses. (8 hours)
- Mostar + Kravic: Beginning on the coast before heading inland to cross into neighboring Bosnia & Herzegovina, your expert guide will explain the local history; from its Ottoman legacy to the break-up of Yugoslavia and resulting war. Arriving in Mostar, the town’s historical diversity is immediately evident.

- Zagreb Excursion - Join Context on a full-day excursion with a visit to Trakoscan Castle and Varazdin. The castle dates back to the 13th century and was a residence of the Draskovic noble family.

There are great restaurants in Varazdin where your clients could have a lovely local lunch. (8 hours)

FAQ
What is a private tour?
Our private tours are limited exclusively to travelers in your party. They are designed to provide a learning experience that is completely tailored to you and your traveling companions. Private tours give you more flexibility with scheduling (you decide when the walk best fits in your trip), the ability to tailor your itinerary (we'll work to match the itinerary to the interests and dynamics of your group), and more personalized time with your guide.
Where do we meet? Where does it end?
We meet at your accommodation. Your route may differ according to your guide. Your confirmation email will have the exact meeting point details along with a map, and 24-hour phone number for any last-minute issues.
What if it’s raining?
Tours operate rain or shine, but in the case of inclement weather, your expert will modify the tour so more time is spent indoors. It never hurts to be prepared; we encourage keeping an eye on the weather and bringing along an umbrella, sunscreen, water, or a hat as needed.
Can children join this tour?
Yes, we can adjust the time and the content to be more appropriate for younger learners.
Is this tour walking intensive, and/or wheelchair accessible?
We do cover quite a bit of ground on this tour and therefore we recommend contacting us with any mobility questions; we will be happy to advise if the itinerary will be appropriate for you or propose modifications where necessary. Please feel free to contact us.
