I have taken several Insight tours, this was by far the best yet. We had a magical combination of 14 travellers, a brilliant tour quide, who was by far superior to any that I have had prior, an excellent competent driver, beautiful weather and scenery. A nicely paced itinerary, the stops were interesting and the hotels were excellent in all bar one. The tour was well prepared and organized making the trip flow smoothly and enjoyable with everything taken care of. It is a trip we will never forget! Croatia is as beautiful as everyone said!

There was a good mix of trips/activities, but there were optional extras for which no price was given. The day out at the island was over 90 euros which hadn’t been mentioned pre trip.
