Budget Tours & Trips to Croatia Reviews
We had the most amazing time EVER! Croatia is such a beautiful country and I will definitely return to see more of the country. We made such strong bonds with the other people on the cruise, as well as the crew members. The great food that we had was unexpected but that may have more to do with the chef on our cruise so results may vary. The only negative thing that I can think of is the small cabin size and the shower situation on board, but that’s to be expected and I think everyone on board adjusted relatively quickly. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!
8-day Split Return cruise, Classic Plus boat, 18-35s

Had a great time, was so relaxing sailing and we had a great crew and guide! If I could do it again I would go later as not everything was open!
What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Croatia
When is the most affordable time to visit Croatia on a budget tour?
Plan your Croatia visit during April May and October to find the best deals. During these months tourist numbers drop and prices follow suit. At Krka National Park entrance fees cost 16 USD instead of the peak season price of 30 USD. Tour companies often reduce their rates by up to 30% during these months. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Going in October meant fewer crowds and lower prices while still having great weather for hiking in Paklenica National Park."
What are some of the best budget-friendly areas to visit in Croatia?
Split stands out as a budget-conscious traveler's ideal base with reasonable accommodation prices and easy island connections. The city of Pula combines Roman history with beach access at wallet-friendly prices. In Zadar you'll find free attractions like the Sea Organ and Sun Salutation. For nature and history enthusiasts Korčula and Mljet offer cost-effective outdoor activities. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Split was an incredible base for exploring with the hostel right in Diocletian's Palace making it easy to explore the historic sites and catch ferries to nearby islands."
What budget-friendly activities are included in most Croatia tours?
Standard tour packages include city walking tours in Split and Dubrovnik national park visits to Plitvice Lakes and Krka and time at Dalmatian coast beaches. Tours typically cover Split's Diocletian's Palace exploration and Plitvice Lakes' wooden walkway systems. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The included walking tours and national park visits were excellent value especially the Plitvice Lakes tour which was a highlight."
What is the average daily budget I can expect for a budget tour in Croatia?
Expect to spend between 94-160 USD per day which covers lodging some meals and guided activities. The Hotel Vicko in Starigrad-Paklenica gets positive reviews from TourRadar travelers for its value and service. Budget extra for park entrance fees such as Plitvice Lakes at 30 USD during peak season and optional activities like white water rafting at 60 USD.
How much should I budget for meals not included in the tour price?
Set aside 25-35 USD daily for meals outside the tour package. Local konobas serve substantial meals for 10-15 USD while quick bites at cafes cost 5-8 USD. One TourRadar traveler noted: "We found great local restaurants in Split where we could get a filling meal with wine for under 20 USD per person. The food at local markets was even more budget-friendly."
Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of on budget Croatia tours?
Keep cash ready for port taxes around 40 USD per person on sailing tours plus national park entrance fees ranging from 15-30 USD and optional activities. A helpful tip from a TourRadar traveler states: "Don't forget to budget for the port tax which must be paid in cash on day 1 and keep some extra money for entrance fees to places like Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Park."
