What people love about Croatia Tours in October
- Cycling Croatia's Dalmatian Coast
Well organized , our guide was able to accommodate all th e level of cyclists
- Croatia Island Hop & Stop - 8 days
We really enjoyed our "8 day Croatia Island Hop & Stop". We knew that the "tour" included accommodation and transfers only (i.e.: no tour guide and we were responsible for planning our activities each day) - which was pretty much exactly what we wanted. We kind of assumed that we'd be travelling with other people on the same "tour". But if fact it was just us. At the end of our incoming flight, and each subsequent ferry trip, we were met by a person that got us to the next hotel (a taxi essentially) and then later, a person would collect us and take us to the next ferry/flight. It all worked smoothly. The accommodation varied from "pretty average" to excellent. The breakfasts varied similarly. We "customised the tour by adding an extra day in Split. In retrospect we should have added an extra day in Hvar. Would I recommend it? 100%
