Travel Review: Tour of Hungary, Montenegro & Croatia, Zagreb, Split, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Etyek, Cooking Class, Wine Tastings

We would start in Dubrovnik and travel in reverse order. The reason relates to flights back to the USA. We had to get up at 3:30 AM to take a 6:50 AM flight from Dubrovnik to Zagreb to catch a 9:50 AM flight from Zagreb to Frankfurt and then back to the USA from their. Had we done it in reverse order we could have easily gotten from USA to Dubrovnik in one day and from Budapest to USA without having to get up at 3:30 AM to go to the airport.  We would also have sought out trips to higher quality wineries. The winery in Etyek, Hungary was average or slightly below. Pleasant but not important wines. Likewise, on Hvar our wine trip was to an average or below average winery (although our tour leader was excellent - very talkative and very, very knowledgeable and entertaining). As we became more knowledgeable about Croatian wines, we would have loved to visit the best wine producing areas (Korcula and Pelajescic peninnsula). The plavac mali and Popcic wines from the better producers were spectacular. The ones we visited were average or below. Need to refine the wine visits a bit!!!! (or a lot).

TRAVEL COMPANY COMMENTS:

Dear Robert,

First of all I want to thank you for your kind review. I'm very glad that you felt well taken care of, as this is one of the most important things when planning the trip. We always want to make sure that our clients don't have to worry about anything and they can simply relax and experience the country they are visiting. It seems you enjoyed it very much!

Regarding catamaran tickets, as we have discussed with you, this was a misunderstanding as you received the tickets already upon your arrival to Budapest in our company folder with which you received all important travel documents. So it was not planned to receive any tickets at your hotel. Also the transfer was organised, and as stated in your detailed itinerary was organised by your hotel in Split. We always try to avoid these kind of situations (that can happen, of course) by sending daily emails to the clients, letting them know which services they have planned for the next day or two. I'm sorry that we didn't know about this situation during your trip, we would've acted accordingly and explained where you can find your tickets and driver. Nevertheless it is great to hear that you had a wonderful trip and hopefully one day you and your travel partners will return to Europe and we can organise you another amazing experience.
