Delightful winter wonders and adventures!
We did a 12-day itinerary in Croatia and Slovenia with Limitless Balkan during the first two weeks of December. Our preference was a partial guided tour package to accommodate leisure days on our own for 2 persons. From the time we contacted Limitless Balkan, Aleksandar was prompt to reply and find out our needs such as preferred mode of travel, travel interests, dietary requirements, must-see attractions and etc, before giving us a detailed quote. This was definitely a plus factor which allowed us to plan our travel according to the way we like. Our trip comprised a mixture of guided tours and leisure days for self-exploration which covered nature, hiking, history, cultural and sightseeing.For accomodations, we arranged ourselves. Depending on preference and needs, Limitless Balkan is able to help recommend and/or book the hotels for their clients. Alex coordinated our travel seamlessly in the following ways: airport transfers, personally drove us on some days, arranged experienced and knowledgeable tour guides for city walking tours, arranged reliable drivers, made purchases for attractions' tickets, took us on a 2-hour hike at Plitvice Lakes, doubled as our photographer and provided recommendations on attractions and food during our leisure days.A hands-on and thoughtful person, Alex placed bottles of drinking water in the car, at the start of each day whenever we travelled with him. On days when we made long drives and did not stop for lunch, he also placed light snacks such as nuts, fruits and chips so that we do not go hungry. I would also like to commend on the professionalism of the city tour guides - Mario, Milos and Marina under Limitless Balkan. They are friendly, genuine, generous in sharing their knowledge with us and definitely very proud of the cities they represent. With minimum planning, we were able to experience Croatia and Slovenia in the best way possible with Limitless Balkan, making it a great winter travel. My favourite places would be Lake Bled and Skocjan Caves in Slovenia; and Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. And yes, travelling in winter is a good choice with less tourists and hence without the crowd in the background while taking photos! Also with the decorated Christmas markets and lights, there is the joyous holiday mood and festive spirit. Thank you, Alex and team for the safe and fuss-free journey, which has left us wonderful memories!

Excellent walking tour with a touch of luxury
Great tailored walking tour with an amazing tour guide. Alex was incredibly patient and always try to give bounty of explanation for every corners of the City Of Zagreb. He ensures that all of the places that you want to see is met. Very knowledgeable in terms of the city and country’s history, from the old town to the opera buildings and cathedral, to the parliament and famous Zagreb landmarks that makes your tour more exciting. You’ll be driven in a luxury Mercedes Benz car that adds comfort and ease during the tour. He even gave me a parting gift at the end of the tour which is nice liquor and a chocolate bar that I didn’t expect to receive. Alex is amazing and I’m highly recommending and must book here again when I visit Croatia soon.

Excellent tour company and guide from Zagreb to Plitvice for a day trip
This recommendation is long overdue. Last May I toured Croatia with friends and wanted to visit Plitvice which was not on their itinerary. I found Limitless Balkans/BLKN Escapes through an Internet search, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The owner, Aleksandar Vucin, was responsive and helpful in a way I’ve only met in the best of private tour companies – for example, I sent him an email with questions and a few moments later my telephone rang on my computer! He answered every question and more with the perfect American English I later heard elsewhere in Croatia. He arranged for my travel to and from the Zagreb airport and recommended hotels, not to upsell, but to be super helpful when I asked.His colleague Karlo Kaputsa was my guide. As an older solo female traveler, I’ve hired private guides on occasion and Karlos knew exactly how to allay any concerns one might have over spending a day with a stranger. He not only drove me to/from the park but walked it with me and pointed out some features I would have missed. Best yet, he was a fun and altogether wonderful travel companion -- it was like traveling with an old friend who educated me on the country and the sites but also veered into conversation you’d have with a BFF. (Example: Who was the best Star Trek captain ever? Picard of course!!)If your travel plans include the Balkans this spring, then my advice is to work with them. I cannot recommend Limitless Balkans and these two fellows highly enough.
