Viator Travel's Mission Statement

Our tours aim to genuinely take our clients off the beaten track, away from regular tour routes, to different landscapes and places, as well as to the better known places. We'll take you from hills in the Konavle countryside, the mystical island Lokrum, Mljet National Park, the narrow streets of island Sipan and historical Dubrovnik Byron's pearl of the Adriatic. Eschewing mass tourism, we discover each destination by meeting the people, exploring the culture, and discovering each area through its cuisine and wines, legends and stories. We travel slowly on itineraries that are already for you off the shelf or which can be adapted or completely tailor made. We mainly focus on southern Croatia, the Dalmatian Coast and its islands and hinterland, but our experience is such that we can make arrangements in the rest of the country as well as Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
