Croatian islands cruise + Land tour with Plitvice - from Zagreb
- Explore Croatia (6 destinations)
The cities covered were great and so was the tour length. The size of the group (6 plus the guide) was a really good size. We used local guides a couple of times - the woman (Susie) in Split was fabulous. Peter was a really good tour guide and I wouldn't hesitate to travel with him again on a more intrepid tour. However for Croatia it would have been nice to have a Croatian tour guide who knew more about the country and experienced its history, and could give more detailed advice on what to do and where to go. I don't think Peter had guided the Croatian tour before so I would have expected Intrepid to have built up a log of experience to hand over to him, but that wasn't obvious. The Dubrovnick accommodation was a bit old-fashioned and the restaurant was more like a school cafeteria with poor food. If the intention was to give us more experience of Dubrovnick in the communist era then you succeeded. But the rest of the accommodation far exceeded my expectations. The only other disappointment was the written 'pamphlet' Peter gave us about the tour on the first day. Has Intrepid management actually read it? In theory it is a great idea to provide more information, but when I finally started reading it I found it was full of spelling errors and poor grammar. And it was inaccurate. For example it mentioned all the lavender fields we could explore in Havar. But I took a local safari tour on Havar and was told the lavender fields had all been destroyed by a fire in 2007. So why didn't Intrepid update its information? Finally... you might want to think about the meet-up facebook site more. Peter our guide didn't seem aware of it. I thought it was weird that I had to create the tour myself on facebook. Maybe in future all guides should at least set up a FB page before the tour and say hello - it might be a bit friendlier. All in all though, a great tour. Thanks Peter & intrepid for putting it together.
What our customers ask about Croatia Guided Tours & Trips
What's the best time of year to take a guided tour in Croatia?
Croatia's coastal destinations like Split and Hvar see peak crowds during July and August when beach conditions are ideal. For a more relaxed experience with good weather travelers often choose May-June or September-October. These shoulder months work well for hiking activities in Paklenica National Park and other outdoor destinations. Cities like Dubrovnik and Split maintain their energy through October. Winter tours shift focus to urban areas and cultural attractions. A recent TourRadar traveler reports: "We went in September and had perfect weather for both hiking and swimming plus the crowds had thinned out at major sites like Plitvice Lakes."
What kind of accommodations can I expect on a guided Croatia tour?
Most guided tours provide comfortable 3-4 star hotels in central locations. Split accommodations often include places like Hotel Marul which sits near Diocletian's Palace. In Dubrovnik the Hotel Kompas provides water views from its Lapad peninsula location. Smaller destinations feature family-run properties such as Villa Daniela in Bol. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The hotels were well-located and comfortable - the Villa Daniela in Bol was a highlight with its amazing views and home-cooked meals."
What makes a fully guided tour in Croatia worth choosing over independent travel?
Guided tours in Croatia eliminate logistical hassles while providing expert local context and exclusive access to popular sites. Groups can bypass lines at Plitvice Lakes National Park while guides share insights about UNESCO locations like Split's Diocletian's Palace and Dubrovnik's Old Town. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Our guide Mario was fantastic - his knowledge humor and thoughtfulness made the trip absolutely incredible and showed us places we'd never have found on our own." Tours handle all transport lodging at places like Hotel Kompas Dubrovnik and can adjust activities to group preferences.
What is typically included in a fully guided Croatia tour package?
Standard inclusions cover English-speaking guides quality accommodations like Hotel Vicko in Starigrad Paklenica daily breakfasts and select meals all ground transportation entrance fees to major sites like Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Parks city walking tours and cultural activities such as wine tastings in Pelješac peninsula. Lodging ranges from boutique hotels to traditional guesthouses including places like Villa Daniela in Bol. One TourRadar traveler reports: "Everything was extremely well organized with high quality equipment and exceptionally accommodating guides who worked tirelessly to ensure all tastes were satisfied."
How much free time is typically available on fully guided tours in Croatia?
Tours generally schedule guided activities in the morning leaving afternoons and evenings open for personal exploration. In Dubrovnik after morning tours of the Old Town walls visitors can ride the cable car to Mount Srd explore Game of Thrones filming locations or relax at nearby beaches. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The balance of walking and free time was just right - our guide organized great group meals but we also had plenty of time to explore on our own."
What level of physical fitness is required for guided tours in Croatia?
Cultural tours need moderate fitness for walking on cobblestone streets and steps in historic areas of Dubrovnik and Split with daily walks covering 2-4 miles at an easy pace. Active tours including hikes in Paklenica National Park require more stamina for uphill sections. A TourRadar traveler advises: "The walking in Plitvice Lakes was manageable but some paths were steep - poles were helpful especially on the limestone trails in Paklenica. Our guide at Hotel Vicko always adapted the pace to suit everyone."
