    Overall the trip was amazing. Our guide Karin was knowledgeable and personable. The itinerary would have been better if there was an extra day in Kotor (all of the group loved this destination) and Budapest. Also taking the ferry in the afternoon from Dubrovinik felt like a waste of a day. The choice of a hotel far away from the old city meant that most people didn't go back into town on the travel day and we arrived in Hvar too late to really make the most of that location. I would like to suggest that this itinerary should have a morning ferry. Also the accommodation in Split was not good, too far away from the city making travel into town difficult or expensive. Furthermore, you couldn't use the hotel pool unless you paid $22 Euro and also when we had to leave for an early flight and they had provided a breakfast box, they didn't want us to fill up our travel coffee mug but rather pay for a coffee at reception. Breakfast box had a plain bread roll with no filling, some pate but no way to put it on the bread unless you used your finger and yoghurt with no spoon. This hotel should not be used and there should be an option within the old city or very close to the centre. Overall it was a good experience but the couple of poor hotel choices was very disappointing. There was a good mix of activities and free time for people to go their own way. Karin was very helpful with suggestions.

    I loved the Croatia and Balkans tour. It was the perfect mix of structured activities and free time. Our G Adventures CEO Adin was amazing. I would’ve liked one more day in Split, though.

    I really enjoy planning my own trips but I take a break from that occasionally in order to do trips like this because I really appreciate having someone to handle logistics and translation for me. I also like the flexibility of being able to go solo or go with the group on any given day.
