What people love about touring Croatia solo
- Impressive Croatia
The tour was good … unfortunately because of the travel distance you spent too much time on the bus. Free time was great. The 8-day tour was more like 5-days, as day one was a nothing day and so was the last day … nothing day. Our driver was great !!
- 8-day Split Return cruise, Classic Plus boat, 18-35s
Fab holiday. Lovely traditional boat named Otac Duje Cabins clean BUT very tiny and claustrophobic! . Twins are bunk beds which do feel a bit like coffins! Also, def need your own towels as they only provide hand towels Vlad our rep was first class and went out of his way to meet our every need. He should get a pay rise!! Food very basic. Same things for breakfast, lunch always started with soup and then a meat/fish dish, which on most occasions was a bit bland. Apparently the cook, on the sister boat was much more adventurous with her cooking. (One of our guests spent a day on the boat and commented on the lovely breakfast and lunch they had) Good itinery although didn't need two days in Dubrovnik. Another day on the sea would have been better. The speed of the boat was just right so there was very little movement from side to side. Easy getting on and off the boat. Some ladder climbing to get to the different deck levels. Lovely seating under a canopy at the back of the boat and traditional styled deck chairs on the top deck. Nothing to lie down on though!
The boat was clean and comfortable. The staff was accommodating. The food was excellent! Everything was perfect. The scenery stunning. Daily swimming stops. It couldn’t have gotten any better. We plan on returning.
