Croatia Walking Trips

This was a really good tour with some lovely walks. Walks are manageable for anyone with reasonable fitness used to doing some walking. Karlo was a brilliant tour leader. He looked after the group really well, very knowledgeable, told us lots of info about Croatia and made fabulous food recommendations. I would advise an extra night in Zagreb to start and extra nights in Split at the end. Hotels were all very nice. I did not get chance to have dinner in the restaurant at Hotel Puntjar in Zagreb but heard food was great. Only slight disappointment for me is we did not go the falls in Krka where you can swim.

This was a great trip. Croatia is so varied. The walk around the Pllitvice Lakes National Park was one of the most beautiful in the world with the turquoise green and blue lakes. We had a free day in Zadar which is another lovely place and hearing the Sea Organ had been on my bucket list for a long time. Our guide, Carlo, really went out of his way to make sure we got the best out of the trip.

Karlo the tour guide was extremely good. He was exceptional and catered more than I had expected in every way. He shared his knowledge about local history, his experiences and his food recommendations were awesome! Croatia is beautiful very scenic and the hiking trails were pretty cool. It was a unique experience and the best hiking trip for me. Perfect itinerary and good breakfast every morning. 😊

Explored does not appear to be very organized. The tour changed several times from the date we signed up to the date we left. I was coming early and staying later in Croatia and being in the itinerary for explorer changed, this made me change the plans I made on my extension. Explore did not take us to the more populated areas, example Krka. We found out from our wonderful lead tour guide that we really needed to go see that. I am not sure why the tour did not take everyone there. I felt like being the levels of physical ability were so different, it affected what we did. I also felt due to the different levels of physical ability the tour guides encouraged us not to do some of the things that were listed on the itinerary. I felt like the timeline for the itinerary was unrealistic and we were always behind schedule. The accommodations we had were questionable. I would not have recommended several of those hotels to others. The restaurants that were chosen for all of us to eat at did not appear to be able to accommodate us in a timely and efficient manner. The worst restaurant was the one after a hike for lunch. We were to do another hike but it took two hours for our lunch to be served. Croatia is a beautiful country. Our lead tour guide was awesome. I would recommend everyone go see Croatia, but not necessarily with explore.

This was a most excellent tour, both in terms of the itinerary which took us to a variety of gorgeous outdoor settings (including a gorge!) and in terms of its leadership by a Croatian guide. Our tour guide, Ivo, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, safety-conscious and sensitive to the local communities and natural environments through which we traveled. He was very patient and empathetic to the needs of our diverse group of tourists, while fostering a sense of community among us throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

The walking tour in Croatia was good. The itinerary was well planned and accommodation was good at all the places . Igo the trip leader was very considerate of Everyone’s needs and he shared his extensive knowledge of local fauna and the plants during every hike. Having a Croatian as the tour leader was a bonus .Igo’s knowledge of the trails we were on and the local Croatian cuisine and culture was very helpful . Some of the hikes in the beginning were on the lighter side which was fine to start with to get conditioned to the weather and local conditions. All in all a very enjoyable and good trip.
