1. Pag Cheese Factory Visit Private Tour It was a perfect relaxing program. Able to view Pag island and learn its perfect climate for cheese making before going to the visit. We had a cheese meal there, excellent no doubt ! Very good and friendly tourist guide Ina and ride. 2. Truffle Hunting Tour The tour is very outstanding! Go a bit earlier for museum first, then with the dogs and hunter, and a meal with just picked-up by them. Of course, buying products is the last enjoyable event. Worthy of joining, no disappointment!
<p>The tour guide and driver were top-notch. The tour guide had a fascinating personal history to tell, bringing a different perspective to Croatia's history and people. The tour itself was interesting, but the island and the museums were small so they went relatively quickly. I really enjoyed just talking to the locals and the tour guide and driver, it was a very different touring experience then I ma used to of being rushed and herded on and off a bus. It was definitely a pleasant experience overall.</p>
<p>Loved this tour!! This was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia. Pag is fascinating. We learned so much about the culture and what makes Pag so special. We got to see the beautiful, unique lace work that can only be found on the island of Pag. We visited the salt museum and tasted the award winning Pag cheese at the Gligora factory. Our tour guide Mary was fabulous! I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Croatia.</p>
