Yes. It was a spectacular and awesome trip, more than my husband and I expected.
Susan W. | Traveled in July
This was a great trip. We did lots of sights but it was never too much. The food was excellent and the hotels were great. We never had to get up really early in the morning. Everyone was very nice and on time for the tours which was a bonus. It was well organized.

Croatia and Slovenia are very scenic. Bled lake in Slovenia, water falls in national park have unusual water colors. Fresh fish must be tasted. The wall in Croatia has a long history and being the seed in The Game of Thrones is an attraction that must be seen.

Itinerary covers a very nice variety of the different destinations in this part of the world. Some of the optional excursions can be skipped with time better spent exploring on your own, thinking optional dinners and drive to national park with bled cake. Bled cake can be found elsewhere.
