Is this trip right for you?
  • Croatia’s coast is very hilly and mountainous, meaning many steps are an inherent feature of the landscape. Also, stone streets become slippery when wet, so good walking shoes are recommended.
  • Summer temperatures can be extreme in Croatia (over 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.

This trip to Croatia was unforgettable! Ivana’s enthusiasm and local insights brought every destination to life. The accommodations were excellent, and the included activities offered meaningful connections to the culture. From hiking Badija Island to supporting family-owned wineries, every moment was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation!

This tour exceeded our expectations . We had a fabulous guide Dinko who helped make the tour such a memorable one with his experience as a guide, passion for his country and as an ambassador for Croatia . He went above and beyond to ensure our travel experience and that of the whole group was seamless, enjoyable and stress free. My husband and I appreciated the balance of activities and free time to explore as we wished. The activities included a balance of bucket list ones such as Split waking tour and Dubrovnik Old Town along with a visit to a small family run museum and local winery in Barilo, Korcula, lunch in the beautiful olive farm in Trsteno prepared by chef Katija and boat trip to Lopud island for dinner and sunset which were all truly memorable and unique experiences . We would highly recommend this tour.
