Croatia Tours and Trips

We had a great time, Dani was an immense part of that and she should be recognized for that. Weather wasn't the greatest but it didn't stop everyone from having a great time. One issue during the trip, credit by Insight was much appreciated. Have already made recommendations to all friends about how great the trip was.

Loved the 4 countries we visited. Accommodation seemed below explore standards. In several places wifi did not work in room, although it did work in some place outside of room. Hotel Mecavnik was very cold in the room with no heating available. I did not do the optional boat trip on Skadar lake, there was nothing else to do apart from sit at a restaurant for the 2.5 hours while waiting for others to finish the boat trip, it would have been better if there was a good walking area while waiting. Apart from these details, the rest of tge trip was excellent. Daniela our tour leader made everything run smoothly and she really excelled at sharing her knowledge of the area.

Border crossings can be a challenge and should be investigated prior to departing on the excursions that will include them. 2–4-hour delays are unacceptable and absurd. You can't control the countries you travel to BUT you can find out the current situation at the borders and inform the customers prior to departing on the excursion.

This Balkan Delight tour opened my mind, and my heart, to an area of the world that I knew very little about. The professionalism and genuine enthusiasm displayed by Dario, our very skilled driver, and Hannah our amazing Travel Director, along with the very knowledgeable Local Specialists, brought each city, town, site we visited to life! From Zagreb all the way to Kotor each site was truly 'magical'. It would be very difficult to pick 'the best' as each stop had its own beauty and charm. The many waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes were amazing, Rastoke was a scene from a fairy tale or a Disney movie, Hvar was exciting, even with the ferry ride, the Dubrovnik Old Town Wall with breathtaking views, Mostar with its charming bridge and crazy 'bridge jumpers' was a sight to see. There was no sunset on our Sunset Cruise, nevertheless Hannah was able to ensure that we were able to experience the awe and beauty of Old Town Dubrovnik at night, a sight we would otherwise have missed, Quite magical. Even with all of these 'adventures' my personal best with being welcomed to have dinner with a Bosnian mom and her three children in her very home. She was very gracious, informative, intelligent and provided us with some very personal, meaningful insights on live in Sarajevo. This was truly the highlight of my tour and an experience that I will never forget. Although this tour was only 10 days long, it was filled with memories that will last a lifetime. Once again, Trafalgar made it happen!

Personally I felt that the included dinners were not so good. Optional ones were better. Most disappointed one was Movenpick Hotel. What does name Movenpick associate to? Ice cream/ gelato, right! Nothing of that sort is given by the hotel. The infused water wasn’t change since the day we checked in. We stayed for 2nights. 😒

We visited amazing locations and got a nice sample of a lot of different areas and regions. A few places I wished we had more time and did not feel so rushed but overall, it was a wonderful experience.
