Croatia

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

From initial contact through preparation and finally on the trip itself the travel company was responsive, clear, professional and especially patient with my stream of questions. Our travel specialist took great care to make sure she understood what we were looking for and planned an outstanding itinerary that had the proper mix of organized events as well as opportunities for exploring and relaxing. The team "on the ground" in Croatia was excellent. Every driver and guide was pleasant, professional as well as fluent in English. Every step along the way we were met by a member of the team so we didn't have to worry about getting around and every event was on time and well done. The tours themselves were carried out by excellent guides each with their own style but all with real enthusiasm for sharing Croatia with us.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The tour of Split and Trogir led by our guide was an outstanding experience. Our guide's expert description of the history of both locations interspersed with stories really made a great impression.
Our tasting event at the Winery hosted by our guide was one of our most memorable and clearly the most fun event of our trip. While we learned a lot about Croatian (and especially the winery) wines we were also treated to world class innovative cuisine, however the high point of our visit to the winery was our interaction with our guide. She did an excellent job of presenting the wine and food but most of all we had fun. I've been to many vineyard tastings but I can clearly say this was most memorable of all because of the experience our guide provided. Suffice it to say we had a great experience and a lot of laughs.
We had the good fortune of having one driver for many trips. He was not only a driver but shared so much of his insight into Croatia he developed great rapport with us and we enjoyed our journeys with him as much as our tours.
We were very pleased that our travel specialist took time to personally meet with us early in our trip. It was nice to meet the woman who had put our trip together and to know she was interested in making sure we were enjoying our trip and that we were comfortable with our arrangements.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would avoid the city of Dubrovnik. It is overrun with travelers, crowded and compressed. On the other hand our hotel in Dubrovnik was world class and worth the trip itself. I would seek an alternative hotel in Hvar. We stayed at the hotel while excellent for views was also in the hub of a lot of music and entertainment that went late into the evening.
