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.

Fascinating and knowledgeable insight into the Old Town. - We spent a fascinating time travelling through the streets of the Old Town in the company of Saas who was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and clearly loved the town of his birth. He was a joy to spend time with, and provided a valuable insight to the history of both the town and island. Thank you Saas for a great morning.

Wonderful Tour of Old Town Korcula - This was such a great tour! The tour guide, Saša, grew up in Korcula and had wonderful stories to tell about the town, as well as deep knowledge of its history. I was traveling with two other women and we all had specific questions and interests, and he was able to answer anything we threw at him. The tour was only supposed to be an hour but he talked with us for an hour and a half and I could have listened to his stories for ages. We saw him around town a couple times after the tour and he was so friendly. He also gave us great recommendations for sites to see and places to eat. All in all, highly recommend!
