This was a phenomenal way to see this beautiful country up-close. Gulliver Travel took away all the guess-work and research of the logistical side of the trip, so I could delve whole-heartedly into the experiences. I feel certain that we saw the absolute best of Croatia and we learned so much about it's (very recent) history. Roads and gas prices were way better than we expected, even the few tolls we came across weren't oppressive. The interior of the country was probably our favorite - atv-ing in the forest and truffle hunting on the Istrian Peninsula were some highlights we would definitely recommend.Show more

We really enjoyed our Croatian driving trip! Our car was nice. The itinerary was paced just right. We stayed two nights in Opatjia, and we recommend doing a day trip to Rovijn. We also did not stay in Split, our hotel was in Trogir. Our hotel in Trogir was so quaint and nice. Hotel Tragos. Be aware if you stay in Trogir that the church bells ring at 0530. However, we just returned from Morocco, and you have the same issue with call to prayer being announced over speakers at 0530. Communication was very good from the operator and they were patient with all my questions. Highly recommend this if you are looking for a self-driving experience.Show more

The places in Croatia and Montenegro were nice and the organisation was great. Had no problems checking into hotels. There was a surprise charge for second driver on the car hire and to take the car on ferries which we needed. In general the hotels were fine but we paid the upgrade for 4 star hotels but they weren’t all 4 star. The one in Bosnia was quite disappointing and dirty and smelt of smoke. The other hotels were great though, particularly in Trogir. Also the drive took a lot longer than described in the itinerary.Show more
