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.
- Croatian islands cruise + Land tour with Plitvice - from Zagreb
Overall a great trip, the 2 nights in Hotel Dubrovnik were in a nice room and clean bathroom. The hotel in Split could have been a bit better but all in all it was clean and nice. Our boat and crew were lovely, my favorite part of the trip was the sailing and daily swim visits. my only comment would be to have more time on the islands we arrived at as we would sometimes get in at 4-5pm and go straight into a walking tour and then dinner not allowing much time for exploring/shopping and grasping a general feel of the city/island. However I cant have it all as I know we had to sail there and the sites and surroundings on the way including the daily swim spots were spectacular! They also provide a nice chance to get "away from the masses" of people on the cities/islands we docked at. I loved the wine tour and tasting. Our boat crew was memorable and made us feel very comfortable. The team at Nature Trips have also been very helpful to reply to us on time and adapt to changes in itinary that needed to be noted/ changed. I felt very lucky to not have a "party boat" where perhaps every night there was loud music. Overall, an incredible trip me and my girlfriends shared and highly recommended to see as much of Croatia as possible and experience several different types of transportation and cities!
- Zagreb to Dubrovnik: Parties & Plitvice Lakes
I enjoyed the tour, it was like a group of friends traveling together but without the hassel of actually having to plan and organise things. Good amount of time to explore individually as well as group dinners.
