In 2006, Michael and Paola were at their summer home in Italy. Over the years, friends and family had visited and told them how their time with them was the most unique and special part of their trip, usually leaving in tears. One day they happened upon a group of strangers that were tourists in need of help, and took them under their wings, much as they had always done with their friends and family. The result was the same, and that day they realized that their was a completely different way to approach tourism, and Culture Discovery Vacations was born with one idea in mind: What would we do in a given location if close friends and family were visiting us? Not the traditional "sightseeing tour", but a true experience of being part of the place you are visiting, WITH the locals.

We love boating days in Croatia! Especially when they include a stop on Brač to visit our friend and Mislav’s cousin Goran for everyone’s favorite ćevapi! Only one thing is for sure… nobody has ever left his place hungry!!
