Reviews of Small Group tours to Croatia
- Dubrovnik and Split, Private Tour
Gulliver Travel met our expectation and they did their best to accommodate our requests. As leader for my group, if you love small private group, I recommend it.
- 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.
- Cycling Croatia's Dalmatian Coast
Well organized , our guide was able to accommodate all th e level of cyclists
What our customers ask about Croatia Small Group Tours
What are the typical group sizes for small group tours in Croatia?
Small group tours in Croatia keep numbers between 4-16 travelers which allows for a more relaxed pace. The smaller size means access to places like Hotel Borik in Lumbarda on Korčula Island where travelers can join local wine tastings without overwhelming the venue. Regular feedback from travelers points to the benefits of traveling with fewer people. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The small group size made the experience much more personal and allowed us to stay at boutique properties like Hotel Vis in Dubrovnik that couldn't accommodate larger groups."
How does accommodation differ on small group tours versus larger tours in Croatia?
The accommodations on small group tours focus on locally-owned properties and boutique hotels rather than large chain establishments. These include places like Hotel Velaris in Supetar on Brač Island and Hotel Borik in Lumbarda where guests get direct interaction with local hosts. The difference becomes clear through guest experiences as one TourRadar traveler noted: "Staying at the family-run Hotel Port 9 in Korčula gave us such an authentic experience - the owners treated us like family and shared local insights we wouldn't get at a large resort."
How do meal experiences differ on small group tours in Croatia?
Smaller groups can eat at local family restaurants and konobas where space is limited but the food experience is genuine. The size allows for dinner at agritourism estates in Pelješac Peninsula or private tastings at small Hvar vineyards. The personal touch makes a difference as shared by a TourRadar traveler: "Our group of 12 had an incredible dinner at a family home in Pupnat village on Korčula - something impossible with a big tour group. The hosts shared stories and local traditions while serving traditional peka."
How does transportation differ between small and large group tours in Croatia?
Small group transportation uses compact vehicles that can handle narrow village roads and reach places large buses can't access. These vehicles navigate the curves to spots like Vidova Gora on Brač Island and reach smaller harbors such as Vela Luka on Korčula. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Using a smaller vehicle meant we could take scenic coastal routes and stop at viewpoints that big tour buses had to skip."
What's the best way to get between islands on small group tours in Croatia?
Island hopping works well with small groups using a mix of private boats ferries and catamarans to reach Hvar Korčula and Brač. The smaller numbers mean groups can take scenic routes and use smaller ports. Private speedboats allow for swimming breaks in quiet bays when traveling between islands like Hvar and Korčula. A TourRadar traveler confirmed "All the meeting points accommodations and transfers were perfect."
