What people love about Croatia Tours in April
- Explore Croatia (6 destinations)
Our tour and tour leader were GREAT. The tour was well planned and a balance between scheduled events and free time. The accommodations were neat, clean and safe. Tamara, our guide, was knowledgeable and fun! I highly recommend her.
- Sailing Croatia - Split to Dubrovnik
I had a fantastic time on this sailing trip! There was only 4 of us, and the skipper, as it was the end of the season. We went grape picking, tried lots of local wines, rented bicycles, swam in beautiful caves and ate lots of fantastic food. Our skipper went out of his way to make sure we had a good time.
- Best of Croatia - 7 Days Dubrovnik to Zagreb
we had a wonderful time in Croatia thanks to traveljaz. The tour was perfect. Domagoj was the best! He really made the trip special. Made sure we were taken care of all the time, friendly and attentive. The tour was really amazing. The itinerary was perfect. Places we visited were just insanely beautiful. Then we had free time where we had many options of different activities. I can see how it’s better for a bigger group to do whatever people want in Split. Stayed one extra day at the end at Dubrovnik was a right choice. It’s more of a must! Maybe this could be offer as an option within the package. I wish I stayed 2 extra nights in Dubrovnik. It is an amazing place. I don’t think I had taken as many pictures in a day. Last but not least, food was amazing the whole trip and the accommodation was also wonderful. Thank you traveljaz!
