What people love about touring Croatia solo
- Explore Croatia
The cities covered were great and so was the tour length. The size of the group (6 plus the guide) was a really good size. We used local guides a couple of times - the woman (Susie) in Split was fabulous. Peter was a really good tour guide and I wouldn't hesitate to travel with him again on a more intrepid tour. However for Croatia it would have been nice to have a Croatian tour guide who knew more about the country and experienced its history, and could give more detailed advice on what to do and where to go. I don't think Peter had guided the Croatian tour before so I would have expected Intrepid to have built up a log of experience to hand over to him, but that wasn't obvious. The Dubrovnick accommodation was a bit old-fashioned and the restaurant was more like a school cafeteria with poor food. If the intention was to give us more experience of Dubrovnick in the communist era then you succeeded. But the rest of the accommodation far exceeded my expectations. The only other disappointment was the written 'pamphlet' Peter gave us about the tour on the first day. Has Intrepid management actually read it? In theory it is a great idea to provide more information, but when I finally started reading it I found it was full of spelling errors and poor grammar. And it was inaccurate. For example it mentioned all the lavender fields we could explore in Havar. But I took a local safari tour on Havar and was told the lavender fields had all been destroyed by a fire in 2007. So why didn't Intrepid update its information? Finally... you might want to think about the meet-up facebook site more. Peter our guide didn't seem aware of it. I thought it was weird that I had to create the tour myself on facebook. Maybe in future all guides should at least set up a FB page before the tour and say hello - it might be a bit friendlier. All in all though, a great tour. Thanks Peter & intrepid for putting it together.
