Great way to see the beautiful scenery and sights of Croatia in short time.
- PURE CROATIA
I was very pleased with the itinerary and service provided to us on our 8 day tour of Croatia. The drivers and tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We learned so much from them! The hotel accommodations were outstanding. I was very impressed with the breakfasts that were included with the tour. This was a very memorable trip.
- Croatian islands cruise + Land tour with Plitvice - from Zagreb
We're sorry that we can only give this travel tour 5 stars -- we'd have preferred 10 stars or more! What an awesome trip! The tour managed everything! They helped us decide what to see (and what not to see), so that we could prioritize among many attractions. The way they treated us was very personal. They spent several hours talking with us about what we wanted to do and then planning an itinerary. The Best travel experience overall, or a if I might say The Best experience with a travel tour!
