In this Voices of Kinship episode, Kelly Tolliday talks to Mitja Jus, managing partner of Roundabout Experiences, a boutique DMC for Slovenia and Croatia. Mitja tells the story of his journey from tour guide to running a tailor made DMC, and explains what makes the two countries special beyond the famous highlights.

What you will learn

• How Mitja started as a tour guide more than 20 years ago, and how Roundabout grew from small group day tours into a bespoke DMC

• Why Croatia is far more than its coastline, with culture, history, wine and inland towns

• Why Slovenia, with its mountains, coast, caves and vineyards, is one of Europe's most diverse small countries

• Two countries, one destination: combining Slovenia and Croatia in a single trip of around 12 to 14 days

• Signature surprises, from wine at sunset on Dubrovnik's city walls to a private concert inside Postojna Cave

• Supporting small farmers, winemakers and family run businesses rather than mass tourism

• His advice to advisors: slow down, go beyond the checklist and share your clients' interests
