    Asked on May 1st, 2023

    Confused on whether any meals are included with your tours, details have a red X next to meals, but reviews show 5 stars for food? Also, if some/all meals are included my wife requires gluten-free dietary options. If we wanted to extend our vacation in Croatia would your agency be able to add hotel, rental car, or private tour to other locations?

    Meals
