OneSeed does responsible tourism right. Knowing a portion of the money from my trip goes to helping locals build their business makes me feel like I'm contributing to a greater cause. If you want to avoid lines, overly busy cities, and generic tour guides and taking the more adventurous route, then OneSeed is a solid choice. Being able to meet locals, be invited into their homes and see the countryside made me really appreciate the Croatian culture.

Good tour if you're on a budget. Some of the hostels (such as split) were not very nice and a bit of a walk to town ... But I guess that is expected with cheap accomodation. Our tour guide (Charlotte) was great - went above and beyond to help us.
