I very much enjoyed seeing the beautiful Croatian coastline. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and seemed to have a real love for his country. My main criticism was that there were frequent incidents where things such as guides in the different areas were not included in the tour, so it felt like we were often paying for services that I would have thought would be part of the overall tour. I would have preferred to have paid more money up front than to have had the frequent requests for additional money.

I thought the tour was well organized in terms of drivers picking up and being places on time. The hotels and ferries were easy to find and use. I did this tour by myself, and I think it is better in a small group or with a partner. Sometimes the app or the trail instructions were glitchy or hard to follow. It would be great if there were options in the app too. For more of an off the road experience do this trail, to keep it simple stay on the road. It could also have ways to shorten or lengthen the hike. The korcula trail was beautiful but it took us on a path that was very confusing. I’m glad I hiked that part of the trail with others on the trip. The island of mjet Was pretty and I wish we could have stayed there an extra day. I thought it was better than Dubrovnik.

It was a perfect experience. The tour guide Nina was organised, friendly and knowledgeable and we achieved what I was expecting us to do. I loved staying on the islands and was happy I made the decision not to do a cruise option.
