    This was a great trip and an experience of a lifetime; the adventure is non-stop from start to finish. I had little knowledge of Croatia before this journey, and it exceeded my expectations. Croatia is Beautiful!

    The itinerary for the trip was well set out it had a great balance of free time add ons provided through contiki and also enough of our own free time to do what we wanted ourselves. Demi our trip manager was amazing with such a positive attitude it made any anxious solo traveller feel right at home and welcomed into such a warm environment. Also on board the Dionis ship the crew were outstanding from the food to the bar it was impeccable and definitely great value for money.

    Great tour because of the people. Guide was very unprofessional, didn’t bother getting to know many on the tour. Recommended restaurants which they have partnerships with and oversold/mis-informed the places we went to. E.g saying there’s vegetarian food when the only option was a starter salad.

    The trip and trip manager were as great as I could have hoped for. I loved the variety of activities, recommendations from Tammy and the food that was served. The only thing that would have made the trip any better would be a/c in our room and fresh cut fruit at breakfast.

    The guide was fantastic - knew her stuff but also knew most people just wanted to know a few cool facts and party, and accommodated these needs well. The islands and nightlife are quite nice, but nothing spectacular. The heat was the biggest - and a massive - con. We didn't have AC and the fans didn't work properly and half the time. I would definitely not take this trip again - was often bored as the trip is centered around swimming and the towns don't have much to explore - and woke up sweaty several times a night. Most people went up to the top deck to sleep, which is dangerous when we are docked at ports as random people can/have come on board... Tired often from the heat and drinking. The food was alright - not bad but could get better value for money at restaurants.

    Quite honestly, my tour with Kassie was the best week of my life. What more could you want when sailing around Croatia for a week but sunshine, great people, food, and nightly happy hours! Even though it took a few days for the sun to kick in, Kassie was making sure we had a blast. I've been on other contikis but they were nothing compared to this trip, which, in large part, was due to Kassie's kick ass organisation skills. She even managed to find us awe some bars and clubs even though the season hadn't really kicked off yet. Kass, I'll always remember dancing on the chairs in the bar in Makarska and you trying to do a chin up on the hand bars on the bus into town in Dubrovnik!

    Kassie was the best guide ever! She made sure everything ran flawlessly logistics-wise, but she's also an awesome time! She created a family atmosphere and I couldn't have asked for anything more in a tour manager. I'll never forget my time in Croatia! Thanks Kassie :)
