For the last 30 years I have experienced both countries as a tourist, as a guide. But perhaps most important to you... I am born in Croatia and I am a resident in Milan!
But there are also couples who have been together for a number of years and want to celebrate the time they have been together. Or, it can be a small group of friends and seniors who want to share a beautiful spot together and celebrate their friendship.
I also have experience in guiding cruising groups along the Croatia's Adriatic coast. In 1992 after the War in Croatia and Bosnia started, I moved with my family to Milano, Italy. I now organize small size group tours (6-8 people) in Northern and Central Italy, especially in the Milan region, Northern lakes district, Venice and Tuscany.
I can guide you to special places that are less known whether you want a romantic getaway or share a vacation with friends. I will tell you about my favorite restaurants and hotels that are reasonably priced to give you the most for your money and stretch a tight budget.
Whether you are planning a Valentine’s getaway, honeymoon or anniversary trip, romantic travel destination can help to inspire love and romance. Indeed travel and romance seem to go hand-in-hand.
Take a look at a number of getaways that you and your partner or friends may want to consider when trying to find somewhere a little bit more special with the possibility of special moments and memories.
So what is your favorite romantic travel destination? Whether you opt for a package tour or not, careful research and planning will help you choose a travel destination that satisfies every family member's interest and suits your budget too.
