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!
- 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.
- Impressive Croatia
Our driver/guide Dejan was incredibly helpful, he would stop on the way so we could see extra places like an arboretum, was helpful and informative.
