We’re a small team of local travel designers who call this coastline home. With years of experience across Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro, we craft private journeys filled with insider knowledge and authentic places we know personally.
Planning with us saves time, overcomes language barriers, and gives you the confidence of travelling with true locals.
It’s a journey shaped by real connections and people who live here.
OUR STORY
Local Heroes Travel was born from a simple idea: that the Adriatic should be discovered with the help of people who live here. What started as a small team of passionate locals grew into a boutique travel company built on trust, personal connections, and years of exploring every corner of Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro.
​
Today, the team is led by Lucija — born and raised in Kaštela — who helped shape Local Heroes from its earliest days. With her background in archaeology, love for travel, and deep relationships with local partners, she continues the original mission: designing private journeys with real expertise, honest guidance, and a genuinely personal approach.
