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 !!
- Sailing Split (Premium) - 8 days
Very pleasant tour, nice and kindly crew, excellent food
- Croatia Deluxe Cruise - from Trogir
The tour got off to a rocky start. We had purchased an extra night before the start of the cruise and arrived in Croatia to find that the booking was for two months into the future and there were no rooms to be had in Split. The agent for Tourradar initially said that they couldn't find us a room--obviously an unacceptable situation. I searched various websites and finally found a place an hour away. The owner of the company then jumped in and ensured our travel to and from and got us to the boat on time. I also had to pay for the new booking myself but Tourradar timely reimbursed my costs. The owner was in regular contact over this. As for the cruise, it was fun. The boat was nice. The stops were well planned with enough time to explore. Only two complaints: first, the boat is a bit stingy with the beer/wine. They comp one glass at lunch or dinner. On other cruises, I've taken house wine and beer are bottomless at dinner. This would be a relatively minor increase in expense to the operator but would set a better tone. Second and more importantly, some sailings should be designated adults only. (Perhaps some are and we missed that detail.) We had two families on our boat with small (under 5) children and both allowed their kids to run around freely and they seem to think staff were their babysitters. Kudos to the staff who did their best to try and handle the situation. In short, consider this before you book this type of cruise. It's a small boat (a good thing) but it becomes too small when there are young children.
