Testimonial

  • I went on a trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina with Dino to see wild orchids. We saw many, and in beautiful locations. But the trip was so much more than that. Dino knows Bosnia and Herzegovina and its culture so well. We visited famous landmarks-Kravice waterfalls, the exquisite Old Bridge at Mostar-and hidden gems known only to an insider. Our hotels were well chosen, we are delicious food everywhere we went. Dino was responsive to the group and did his best to include all our requests. It was the very best of holidays.

  • A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence.
