What people love about Croatia Tours from Zagreb
- PURE CROATIA
I had a great experience, although I was surprised to be on my own. The drivers and tour guides were very good. Perhaps your website should be more specific about the tour not being in a group. Otherwise I was happy with everything, including the accommodation and their location.
- Impressive Croatia
The tour was good … unfortunately because of the travel distance you spent too much time on the bus. Free time was great. The 8-day tour was more like 5-days, as day one was a nothing day and so was the last day … nothing day. Our driver was great !!
- Croatian Rhapsody Tour
Excellent tour through Croatia by mini-bus. The general tour guides (also the drivers) were very helpful and informative. Everything was well planned ahead and worked problem free. Extra good was that on each location a certified specialist guide was contracted with real in-depth knowledge giving a deep understanding of the location. All selected hotel rooms was of highest standard and well over expectation. A lot was included such as airport transfers, several dinners, wine tasting etc. This made the tour very price worthy. I strongly recommend Katarina Lines and this tour for exploring Croatia. Next time i will book a sailing cruise with them as well to see all the islands.
