Travel Review: Croatia Multi-Generational Family Trip, Dubrovnik, Split, Krka, Plitvice Lakes, Truffle Hunt, Gulet Cruise

This was an overall outstanding trip and outstanding travel agency.  We spent two weeks in Croatia -- the first week sailing on a gulet from Dubrovnik to Split, and the second touring by land.  The country is extremely diverse, with lots of interesting things to see.  We had three generations traveling together, and Croatia offered enough to keep everyone entertained and having fun.  I really had no idea what to expect about the country, and it was amazing.  Beautiful scenery, wonderful coastline, lots of islands to explore, gorgeous national parks, cool cities, archeological treasures, and super food and wine.  I will definitely return there.  And the travel agency was absolutely first rate.  The owner of the agency, planned the entire trip for us, and took care of our every need.  She did a great job in meeting our request that we both see the major tourist sites, but also spend time in some "off-the-beaten-path" activities.  The latter included hunting for truffles in the forest with a local truffle hunter and his dogs, a private wine tasting and outstanding tasting menu at Bibich Winery, and a wonderful family style meal in a restaurant situated in the middle of an olive grove  The guides arranged for us were amazing too -- all very knowledgable, personable and with excellent English.  Ditto for the gulet that our agent arranged for us -- both the boat and its crew were wonderful.  Overall, this trip exceeded our expectations by far, and I simply can't say enough good things about our agent and her travel agency.  She personally met us at the Dubrovnik airport when we arrived in Croatia, and kept close tabs on us throughout our stay.  She is first rate -- very highly recommended.
