I also want to share that Dado was a fabulous driver. He handled the bus with care during the high winds that we experienced and safely got us to and from Split with ease. I felt safe and well cared for all day thanks to Barisa and Dado. I highly recommend Šugaman Tours for…”

One constructive critizism to the tour operator is that the bus that we travlled with was very old and needs to be updated. We travelled for almost 90mins each way and inside the bus was super hot, the seats were unconfortable and old and my seat was broken so it was painful for me the journey unfortunatelly.”

My guide (Nike) set up a group chat for ease of communication which was a great idea for the group and showed care for customers. She was very approachable and full of knowledge about Croatia and especially the nationals Holliday to commemorate the war and attack on Croatia in the 1990’s. Overall a great tour , highly recommend of your in Croatia!”
