    We were so pleased that we chose a bus tour over a cruise. We learnt so much about the country and its history and the people in general. The tour operator Zoran was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. He was prompt, informed us the day before what we were going to experience and helped wherever he needed to. The to transport was in a luxury bus and we had a fantastic group of travellers with us. Zoran made the difference between a good tour and a great tour. He went beyond the Ve call of duty to ensure everyone was happy. We had accommodation in 4 star luxury hotels which were superb. The tour included most of the places of interest and I am amazed how many places we visited. Our sincere thanks to Thompsons travel, Katarina Line and Zoran Vitas for an unforgetable trip. We would certainly recommend this tour to other potential travellers. With kind regards

    I am writing to tell you about the trip that my husband and myself took on the Markan (voyage commencing the 15. 07. 22). We are not normally advocates of cruising and it was by chance we discovered your company and the trip Talong the Croatian Coast and islands. It was a region that I wished to visit but never fancied cruising. As our retired lives have been exceptionally busy doing voluntary jobs as well as supporting our daughter who has terminal cancer the Marian cruise was what we needed to recharge our batteries. I feel that is right to tell you that the experience was wonderful and we are determined to repeat the experience cruising further south to the Southern islands. What made it so special was that the holiday was exactly as it had been marketed - relaxing, friendly with the first-class quality of accommodation and It service. The captain crew and guide were not only kind and hospitable but highly professional making our holiday a 'bespoke experience'. We would like to repeat this experience next year as I have already mentioned. It would be great if the Captain, Crew and Guide could be told of our sincere thanks and appreciation. Yours Sincerely,

    Hi, I just wanted pass on my compliments for your organizing of our trip to Croatia last week. We had a great trip. The group seemed to mesh and enjoy each other. Zoran, our driver, guide, and helpful companion throughout the trip was great! He was full of fun anecdotes, good tips, and helpful info. The different tastings were excellent (wine, truffles, oysters, etc). The local guides were all well-qualified and informative. The hotels were all nice. Sometimes we were maybe a bit early season for some of the amenities. The meals were all fairly enjoyable except for maybe the first dinner in Zagreb. It is a great itinerary that lets you get a very comprehensive views of the country, and I would definitely recommend this trip to others. Many thanks! Keep up the good work!

    My daughter and I just came back from the Croatia tour with Friendly Planet. Our Croatian tour guide and driver was Zoran. Zoran was knowledgeable, personable, and very genuine. He engaged everyone in the group and brought a lot of energy throughout the whole trip. He loves Croatia but he was balanced in his viewpoints and opinions. He showed us the good and the bad. I appreciated his honesty. He made the trip more colorful and rich. By the way, he is a fantastic driver.

    Recently I was part of the Croatian Rhapsody tour. I wanted to make you aware of the precious asset you have in Zoran. He is a knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and talented individual. His driving skills are excellent and as a group, we never felt unsafe. He is flexible when necessary and punctual when required. Memorizing names in a group is no easy task, yet he masters it promptly. His multi-tasking skills are legendary and like a momma bear herding her cubs, he keeps an eye on everyone to maintain safety. As a driver AND a guide at the same time, he excels. Luckily we were in a small group of 17. I highly recommend this kind of group ratio as it fosters relationships between individual travellers and allows a thorough experience of your country. Zoran is the best driver in Croatia. Thank you for providing the means to visit Croatia.

    I have recently returned from your Croatian Rhapsody tour and would like to express my gratitude for what a good tour you put together. It was well paced and an interesting tour of the Croatian coastline. The accommodation was good and centrally located. The local guides very knowledgeable and the time spent in each city sufficient. Given that our group size was 25 made it more personal. Our driver and guide Zoran was excellent and always very helpful and well organised. He is an asset to your organisation.

Local guides were informative and helpful too. The tour locations are amazingly beautiful. I would highly recommend the Croatian Rapsody Tour.

    Excellent tour through Croatia by mini-bus. The general tour guides (also the drivers) were very helpful and informative. Everything was well planned ahead and worked problem free. Extra good was that on each location a certified specialist guide was contracted with real in-depth knowledge giving a deep understanding of the location. All selected hotel rooms was of highest standard and well over expectation. A lot was included such as airport transfers, several dinners, wine tasting etc. This made the tour very price worthy. I strongly recommend Katarina Lines and this tour for exploring Croatia. Next time i will book a sailing cruise with them as well to see all the islands.

    Asked on January 7th, 2025

    Is the optional tour to Montenegro by coach or boat? Am I correct in that this optional tour is for both Mostar and Montenegro? I am only interested in going to Montenegro and would like to know if I can extend this tour an additional day or two and still get transport back to Dubrovnik.

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Katarina LineOperatorWritten January 2025

      This optional tour comes with overnights in Dubrovnik and day trips to Montenegro and Mostar and cannot be altered. Since you would like to spend nights in Montenegro, I would suggest a tailor made post tour to include accommodation, transfers and local guide in Montenegro to visit Kotor, Perast and Budva.
