What people love about Zagreb to Dubrovnik Tours
- Discover Croatia & Slovenia (Multi country)
I (34F) took this tour with my parents (65) and we loved it! Their initial plan was to take a roadtrip through Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro, but doing it by themselves without speaking the language seemed like it could be problematic, and this turned out to be so much better. Everything exceeded my expectations, including accommodation and meals. The local tour guides in each city were great, most were upbeat, insightful, and patiently answered ALL questions with a great attitude. Most of all, Blanš (hope I'm spelling it right), our main guide throughout the whole trip, was incredibly helpful and added significant value with her local and archeological knowledge (her tour of Diocletian's Palace was definitely a highlight). The only issue I can point out is a small detail with the tour description. I booked this tour instead of others because it said the max group size was 36, which was not the case. However, I don't feel like it ended up being a problem at all and the group was managed well, so although the information was incorrect, I'm glad I booked this one instead of others. Overall, I would definitely recommend it!
- Impressive Croatia
We had a great time visiting Croatia. Our tour driver was very good and personable. Only comment was our day at the National Park. We walked to the beautiful Falls then took a boat ride to a meeting point. We had to wait for close to an hour for a boat and when we arrived we ate lunch. Almost missed lunch as they closed early (3:00) even though my understanding was we were to eat around 2:30 ish. After lunch we were unable to see any of the park because iby the time we checked in it was getting dark. Perhaps a change for this days schedule as it was a beautiful place and we would have loved to see more. The hotels were excellent and comfortable and we had nice breakfasts. Thankyou for showing us beautiful Croatia! Corinne and Ian
- Western Balkans Discovery - 7 days
Very good tour, good hotels, knowledgeable tour guides but too much chicken for dinner. Croatia is known for their great cuisine, specially fish, which was not offered till the end. Also did not understand why if drinking water is so fresh, good and free in Croatia, it was not provided at dinner. One had to pay for bottled water when the free one from the faucet was better.
