Zagreb Tours in November 2026

The trip was well paced and most every activity was very interesting. I wish that the tips for the bus drivers and city tours was prepaid in the cost of the trip. It would be easier than having to come up with the $$ on the spot and would insure the tour guide of getting tipped properly. Ivan was terrific and were all of our city guides. In my opinion they really made the trip exceptional.

The tour was excellent. Sonny was an incredible driver, prompt, friendly and kind. Our tour guide, Callum 'Blinky' Pyper, was full of historical and local knowledge, friendly, patient and kind. Both took very good care of us. We enjoyed all the excursions as they allowed for a bit more interaction with the local cultures.

The farm was a unique experience but would recommend dropping it. The sleeping arrangements were well below Collette’s standards. Vilim, our tour director, was extremely knowledgeable, kind and generous. His sharing of his knowledge and experience made the trip memorable.

Our Dubrovnik hotel accommodations were beautiful. The brunch was fantastic. The town of Hum was interesting & cute The opathia tour & guide was enjoyable, Split was great also. Most of the breakfast buffets were plentiful & fresh. The hotel near the national park was our least favorite- breakfast was disorganized as was dinner. Staff seems inexperienced in the town. Old city of Dubrovnik wall tour was very cool to walk. farm to table meals were great, especially if your a carnivore

Good introductory tour to the Balkans. Need a bus-seat rotation plan to prevent some passengers from hogging the good seats. Choose buses that provide USB charging ports. Avoid less organised hotels where coffee and food runs out, such as in Hotel Marinela in SOFIA and Hotel Panorama in Veliko Tarnovo. Choose hotels that serve breakfast early, at least at 7:00AM, e.g. Panorama in Veliko Tarnovo serves breakfast only at 7:30AM and tour leaves at 8AM, not enough time. Choose hotels that provide express-laundry services as we do not have time to look for laundromats elsewhere. When arriving too early at a city to check-in at hotel, do not waste time unloading bags first, directly go on city tour then come back at check-in time. Maybe reduce a day from Bulgaria or Croatia and add at least a day more in Serbia, which is rich in history. If possible design a new tour to cover all Balkan states and add Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia and Albania.
