Croatia and Slovenia Tours for Solo Travelers
Picture rowing a small boat out to the island church on Lake Bled, and wandering Ljubljana’s riverside cafés that evening. At Plitvice Lakes, wooden paths lead past waterfalls and turquoise pools. Down in Split, you can get lost in the stone lanes of Diocletian’s Palace before heading to the beach. The mix of lakes, towns, and sea keeps the days feeling fresh.

What people love about touring Croatia And Slovenia solo
- Premium Venice to Split (including Korana)
This was a fabulous trip which was very well paced, it covered parts of Croatia that I'd never heard of but will certainly be going back to. Our tour guide looked after us so well, she organised all sorts of optional activities for us in our "free time" as nobody seemed to want any free time - we all wanted to do and see as much as possible and our fantastic tour leader made this happen! The Istrian peninsula was my favourite part of the tour and Split was just amazing - so much history. Highly recommended.
- Small Group: Balkan Extended - Belgrade to Dubrovnik
The extended Balkan tour was great. Being in a small group, the schedules were not too regimented and can be tailored according to the needs of the guest. The hotel locations were mostly within the city limits and accesible to most travelers needs such as shopping and dining. Since the tour operator are from the Balkan Peninsula, they have good knowledge and expertise on the region which reflected on their selected places to visit and explore. Although the tour operator is located outside of North America, one should not developed any apprehension about the authenticity of the company as they fulfill almost everything that was described in their brochure and itenirary. Our tour guide who also acted as the driver of the minivan has an excellent knowledge about the history and culture of the Balkan countries that we visited. He is very fluent in the English language.
- Croatia, Beauty of the Adriatic - A Small Group Journey
All I can say is wow! My family and I were a bit hesitant about traveling to so many countries in one tour. We thought we might feel rushed, but we didn’t have to worry. The Sky Vacations trip was perfectly paced. My family is made up of adults, teens and seniors and none of us had an issue. The hotels were great, the included meals delicious and each local guide was knowledgeable, clearly spoken and polite. Also, the size of the group, in our case 16 people, was wonderful. Just enough people to make new friends and share the experience, but not so many that we felt like a herd of people getting on and off a big ugly bus! We had such a great time that we are going to book Jordan for next year.
