Travel Review: Croatia, Italy & Montenegro Trip, Rome, Dubrovnik, Korcula, Hvar, Split, Venice, Krka National Park, Oyster Tasting

We loved the oyster tasting that our travel specialist arranged for us. The best experiences we had were ones that were suggested by our travel specialist.  We loved Korcula Island and the hotel we stayed. at.  The day trip to Krka National Park was very enjoyable The guides we had in each city were so much fun. Having a private guide for the Vatican and the Old Towns was worth the extra cost.  I don't think I will every be able to take a group tour again.  You learn so much more from the guides if you can have an ongoing dialogue.
We loved walking at night along the pomenades and eating dinner by the ocean.  The food was fabulous.  If you are in Korcula, spend the extra money and have dinner.  
Our travel specialist sent us emails to make sure that everything was working out.  The trip was executed flawlessly, but we felt confident that if any difficulties did arise,, , the company would be there to help us.  My husband and I are in our 70's so that feeling of safety let us totally relax and enjoy the vacation.  All our guides had worked with our travel specialist before and spoke very highly of her.  Their respect for her was noticeable.  She has a reputation of taking care of all details in her planning.  Our itinerary always included a local number to  call if there we any problems with the arrangements. 
The timing of the guides and activities were very well thought out.  We never had any departures that we too early, and we had the free time to explore after our guided tours.
