What people love about touring Croatia solo
- Pearls of Adriatic Deluxe cruise
Had an awesome tour! It was exactly as advertised! The ship looked brand new- cabins were comfortable with plenty of storage and bathrooms were large with nice showers! The staff was great and very attentive! We stopped twice a day at wonderful swimming spots- our perfect weather helped with that! Meals were yummy and always plentiful! This itinerary is perfect for giving a snapshot of the beautiful Croatian islands and historic sites! Will definitely return!
- Pearls of Adriatic cruise
Overall a great experience, went to many lovely places, awesome crew and the cooked meals were incredible. But the ship was not the one that was advertised and many people weren't happy about that. I had a downstairs cabin which was pretty small and basic (and bathroom had a bad smell), the ones upstairs were much nicer yet they paid the same price.
It was well planned from the beginning to the end. When they said 'smal group' tour, I didnot expect us to be only 3 people. This wasvreally great because we got personal care. From day one I was picked up from my hotel and after that we had a car with a guide/driver assigned to us. We had private english speaking guides wherever we went. The only hitch was that the hotels we were put in were only 3 star, some of them really matchbox size and nowhere near the centre of the city. It was a bit of a hike to the sites. Also, since I was travelling solo, I always got a raw deal. I always got a room at the back facing airconditioning units. That made the stay a bit disappointing.
