    This tour was an excellent introduction to Croatia for us - with a good mix of the history of Croatia and its people, seeing beautiful gardens and the National Park. With local guides we learnt so much and walked around interesting areas. From the moment we were picked up by Mislov in Venice we got a good vibe and were reassured we'd made a good choice. This tour was very, very good. We highly recommend it to others.
