Ticket2Croatia · Curated Croatian Journeys
Discover Croatia Beyond the Ordinary.
Experience Croatia through carefully curated journeys, authentic local encounters, and personalized travel experiences.
Our philosophy
Croatia, as we know it.
We are a Croatian family based in Vodice, on the Dalmatian coast. Croatia is not our product. It is our home.
Ticket2Croatia was founded to share the country the way locals live it: the coffee with a view, the table in the konoba you would never find alone, the winemaker who pours a second glass, the guide who knows which street to take at sunset.
Travelling with people who live here changes everything. Every hotel, restaurant and guide on our journeys has been chosen personally, and our family hosts you from the first morning in Zagreb to the last evening on the coast.

Šibenik's historic charm welcomed us with open arms. The labyrinth of streets and stunning St. James Cathedral left me in awe. Our guide, Ante, had a deep knowledge of the city's history which made our exploration even more enriching. Ante was not only knowledgeable, but quite charming and funny! We traveled to several key cities on our way up from Šibenik to Zagreb and each was more unique and spectacular. Zadar offered a seamless blend of ancient and modern, Krka National Park was a natural paradise, and Hum, the smallest (and most quaint) city in the world.
Zagreb greeted us with its vibrant energy. From the bustling markets to the architectural splendor of St. Mark's Church, the city pulsated with life, making our last night in Croatia truly memorable.
Throughout my visit, Ticket 2 Croatia ensured that we experienced the best of Croatia. The travel company is owned by two generations of Croatians who are passionate about sharing the incredible beauty of their country with American travelers. Their expert guides shared captivating stories and insights throughout, enhancing our appreciation of the country's rich heritage and vibrant culture.
Ticket 2 Croatia's meticulous planning and personalized service made this trip seamless and enjoyable. I returned home with my heart full of wonderful memories and a strong desire to return. Thank you, Ticket 2 Croatia, for crafting such a magical experience!

Dear Karla, for us, it was a new European destination to explore and we came back very impressed with lots of wonderful memories. There is so much to discover in Croatia as it is rich in history and culture from bustling Zagreb to charming little coastal towns like Poreč and Šibenik and hilltop villages like Hum and Motovun. We especially loved discovering the national parks of Krka and Plitvice Lakes where nature left us in awe.
We appreciate all the efforts you put in the details in planning the itinerary such as in the selection of hotels, the restaurants and guide services. They were all excellent. All together it was an amazing fam trip of discovery and I can't wait to share it with my clients and travel agent colleagues. Wishing success to Ticket2Croatia in the years to come.
