More individual time at locations of choice would be appropriate Repetition with regard to presentation at some of the destinations Dinners at local homes disappointing, venues nice but food presented mediocre Pressured into signing up to additional OPTIONS which personally I considered sufficient detailed information was not provided Comfortable coach, however for longer journeys maybe a “back cushion” may be appropriate, great Driver and Guide

It is varied, covering both coastal and inland towns. Well paced with enough free time to do some museums that are not included.

It was a very good tour. Good accommodation, fantastic tour leader and driver. Just one small point, and it's not major, but it was rated as a "difficulty " 2. There were SOME situations where I would question this, for example the Dubrovnik old city climb. This was much harder than a "2" rating. Unfortunately with my health issue, I could not do it and there were others also. There were a couple of these activities and I just want to advise that maybe the rating for this should be 3. Just my thoughts. Overall though, a fabulous and interesting tour.
