Croatia & Montenegro Luxury Family Travel Review: Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb, Zadar, History, Food Tours, 12-Day Trip

I arranged a 12 day trip over Spring Break 2023 to Croatia and Montenegro for my 16 year old son and myself and everything from the planning process to the daily activities were a dream! Zicasso arranged for me to speak with three Croatian travel specialists and all were impressive, but I decided to go with Violeta with our travel agency as she listened to my requests for an emphasis on history and food tours that would appeal to both a teen and a 50 something woman, and her price point was right where I wanted to be for hotel, guides, car and driver, etc. Violeta was great about being available via text on WhatsApp if anything went awry with the trip while in Croatia (and Montenegro for a day trip.) We only had to text her once when I could not recall the correct tipping for the driver from the airport.
My 16 year old son, who selected Croatia for our destination as he is a history buff, wrote the following review for those of you who are contemplating this trip for your children:  I had a great time in Croatia, from the old city of Dubrovnik with its Adriatic atmosphere, to Split which was founded by Romans and housed Diocletian’s palace, to Zagreb which had so many cool 19th century buildings that I felt like I would see in Vienna or Prague. As someone who loves learning about history, the trip encompassed so many incredible eras and we had a great food and tour guides to top it off. Our guides and drivers were always very knowledgeable and nice, answering questions and making Croatia come to life. Overall, I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend Zicasso and this travel company to others.
