Amazing Trip With Every Detail Covered Expertly From Start To Finish, Kimberley Q., the USA

Oct 12, 2025

Jelena planned a trip for my husband’s 60th birthday that was stellar from beginning to end! She went through several iterations of the schedule until it was absolutely perfect. Every detail was considered, and each experience was amazing and literally top drawer, from the ground transportation, to the bike rides, speedboat tour, travel to the national park, and tour guides.

CROATIA AWAITS is SPECTACULAR! Not just for Split, for your entire Croatia Experience, Lisa P., the USA

When you’re still gushing about a trip almost 2 months later, you know it was AMAZING! That’s the case with our Croatia trip curated by Jelena at Croatia Awaits. From the first Zoom call, I knew we were in perfect hands. Her attention to detail & knowledge of her homeland (she is truly LOCAL) is incredible.

Jelena developed a customized itinerary for us and the places we saw were amazing. The guides and drivers were wonderful and great to spend time with. The whole trip was seamless (nothing for us to worry about) and absolutely on time. Jelena was in touch with us often making sure everything was going well, which it absolutely did. Would highly recommend this service.

We have just returned from an amazing holiday in Croatia and Slovenia organised by Jelena Vrancic of Croatia Awaits. Our initial discussions with Jelena centred on our thoughts and her advice on the best itinerary to suit our requirements. Email and FaceTime proved excellent communication methods with Jelena proving hugely efficient.

Our PERFECT vacation! Sarah & Scott Renn, the USA

We can’t thank Jelena enough for the PERFECT vacation she created for us! It was our first vacation, without kids, since our honeymoon several years ago. Jelena connected with us on Zoom to learn about what we would like to do and created experiences that were custom tailored to us. She was extremely responsive, and our vacation far surpassed our expectations.

Very worthwhile! Jill Schlossberg, the USA

Jelena was WONDERFUL. FIRST – she is so lovely – it is a treat to spend time with her. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a wonderful way of sharing interesting information without going overboard/being long winded. We were interested in everything she shared – totally engaged the entire time. The weather did not cooperate at the beginning of the tour – it was pouring – but Jelena managed to make use of every minute we had together. We sat in a beautiful cafe talking and learning so much – so enjoyable. Then she got umbrellas from the hotel for us so we could walk to the palace.
