Croatia Natural landmarks sightseeing Trips

This trip took us to the insides of Croatia that many tourists overlook. As this was our first time on a tour, we had minimal expectations. Our tour director had so much knowledge of the history of the country, leading to a greater appreciation of the country and people.

Full and interesting week of walks. The tour leader did an excellent job of ensuring the health and safety of those on the walk. The leader also went above and beyond to assist in such things as ordering meals (foreign language for all on the walk), and assistance with ongoing travel arrangements. Each day's activities were well paced and suited to the capabilities of the group. All round a very enjoyable week!

This tour hits the highlights of Croatia. I would not recommend the excursion to Montenegro as the customs stop adds an hour and 1/2 to a long bus ride. Kotor in Montenegro is an interesting walled city. The tour guide and bus driver were top rate. They couldn’t have been better.

The itinerary was excellent starting and ending on the "big name" places of Kotor and Dubrovnik that everyone knows about, but in between we saw many facets of the Balkans and experienced wonderful scenery at almost every turn and learned a bit about the history of the area too. Most of us were however unaware that we spent over half the trip at 1000m+ in the mountains of Montenegro and Serbia and weren't quite as prepared as we might have been so a little more advice on that (especially for shoulder season itineraries) would have been of benefit. I'd also definitely recommend you spend a couple more days in Dubrovnik if you have the time as the walking tour was great but more time to properly explore is needed. Danielija our tour leader was excellent, thoughtul, helpful and great company. Her suggestions for dinner restaurants were always spot on and the guides she found for us were all first rate.

The accommodation was mixed in terms of comfort, breakfast and location. The itinerary was varied and interesting, comprising a blend of culture, nature and history, with beautiful scenery along the route.. Pity the transport was a bit cramped. The tour leader, Danijela, was exceptional, always smiling, knowledgeable and ready to help with anything. I would recommend this trip even if it only covers snippets of each country.

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.
