Sandra Bandera

We love Sandra - she is our favorite tour guide of all our travels.  Why you ask.  Well, the two week small group tour we signed up for, was actually a very small group of four - my husband, myself, and one other couple, along with our tour guide Sandra and our driver.  Now a small group can go well or can be quite boring or disastrous.  We were so fortunate having Sandra leading us as our tour was filled with laughter, bonding moments, adventures, and the perfectly timed quiet times.  Sandra led us and provided us with the information and history we needed/wanted when we would be exploring in our free time. She shared funny stories as we traveled via bus through Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro and finally into Italy.  We had a healthy balance of time on our own and in the group.  When my husband became ill, Sandra was there while we went to the ER and navigated medical care in a foreign country.  I don’t recall  - before or after this trip - laughing so much with a tour guide and looking forward each day to learning and experiencing new historical, social  and cultural experiences.
