Dubrovnik Tours in Spring

This was the first tour I have done with G and probably the best trip I have ever been on. The small group combined with not a lot of moving around really allowed us to experience and hear so many wonderful stories and insights about the area. We had some wonderful hosts and a tremendous guide.

Croatia is a friendly and beautiful country..English is spoken by nearly all its citizens, making it easy to communicate with its citizens..Its history and cultural influences are significant and interesting. As for the itinerary , the hotels on this tour were excellent..The motorcoach was comfortable our driver excellent, and the services were very very good..I was a bit disappointed in the pricing for some the optional dinners, as I felt it was at an elevated cost for less than premium cuts of beef or fish or vegetable selection..The optional tours with local guides were good as well. I would recommend that all tour directors utilize the video screens available in the motorcoach to educate guests about the city or port we are travelling to and even have a canned power point presentation on variety of subjects ..It would make the time go by a bit easier..On our previous tours with Insight, this was done but not on the this tour, with our tour director..Most of her comments and instructions were not very clear and her screen shots distributed on What's App were more like drafts of a school report with lots of penciled cross outs, etc and not very professional. She may need some training in this regard. Finally, I wished to leave our gratuity as a charge on my credit card..Judith told me I couldn't , and that she turned in the machine to the office, which I knew was not true..On my 4 other Insight tours , I had used my credit card for the gratuity, so I now had to find an ATM , or go to exchange service to leave the grastuity in euros..In other words, she did not want to incur commision or fees on this transaction but its ok for me to be inconvenienced and incur the cost of exchange fees..So let me ask you, who is the customer, the tour director or the guest ? Otherwise, I will say , in her own way, was very organized and handled all the logistics extremely well.

This was the perfect trip. We had a great mix of time to relax by the pool or take a walk, mixed in with interesting and enjoyable activities. We really got to know our group and that made the trip even more special. I can’t say enough good things about the food at the villa too. It was outstanding. All very fresh and delicious and it was clear that the Mujo family loved what they did. We always had more than enough food and wine and looked forward to all of our meals. The villa was so beautiful and peaceful and we all enjoyed listening to the birds (and rooster!) every day. It is hard to summarize what may have been the best trip I’ve ever taken, but it was so great that I already want to return.

It was a wonderful tour with a terrific Tour Director . Lots of variety with old history and the up to date information re the former Yugoslavia. The Scenery was fabulous. Loved it.

It was an excellent tour. The hotel for the first night in Zagreb was troubling but from there, everything was excellent. Not sure if you ask this later but you are probably not surprised to hear that the tour director Tod Covich was outstanding. Truly elite.

We experienced so many beautiful places across the country. The Plitvice lakes and the caves were a highlight for us. The 3 nights in Dubrovnik and 2 nights in Korcula gave us ample tine to explore these two spectacular places.
