Dalmatia Tours & Trips

Top operators in Dalmatia

Local customers consistently praise Laganini Tours for cycling trips through Dalmatia, with particular love for owner Tonci who knows every hidden corner of the region and makes sure you're staying in quality hotels and eating excellent meals. If you need a more budget-conscious choice, G Adventures runs a great sailing route from Dubrovnik to Split - their skipper Marin gets lots of mentions from our travelers for sharing fascinating local stories and finding those special spots most tourists miss. Intro Travel's Croatia Sail Adventure is another solid pick, especially if you want a well-planned itinerary. Tour leader Anna gets glowing feedback for making everyone feel part of the group and helping create genuine Croatian experiences. For those interested in a proper cruise, Katarina Line stands out - their ships are well-maintained and the crew runs a tight ship, quite literally. Nature Trips delivers good experiences too, though some of our clients mention occasional schedule mix-ups, but they say the overall journey more than makes up for any small hiccups. These companies really understand what makes Croatia special - they'll get you to the right places and introduce you to local culture without making it feel too touristy or rushed. The guides take pride in showing you their home country, and it shows in how they work.

  "We were on a boat - Omega Kiss which had mosquitos on board which had access to our compartments. Interior paneling that allowed us to see in our neighbors compartment. Trash in bathroom not being picked up , need for pans and utensils in kitchen - our door knob kept falling off. The Captain could care less about providing a trip that we were comfortable with -He was In a hurry to get to the next port- only sailed for several hours even though we had fantastic opportunities to sail our last days. Would motor to our final ports without stopping to swim and have lunch just so he could get off the boat. Tour Radar attempted to add charges after our final contract and would not let us cancel what we knew was bound to be an awkward affair . Our departure price was reduced and Intrepid should honor their lowest price guarantee . Not a good experience at all - Intrepid promised the moon and didn't at all deliver. really regret having anything to do with trip - felt cheated and overcharged.

  "This is a difficult review to write. The actual cruise with Katarina Cruise Line on the Fantazija was a 10/10. It was an excellent introduction to such a beautiful country. The crew on the boat were very personable and attentive. Filip, the Crew Manager was definitely a 20/10. He did everything he could to make the trip a memorable experience, especially when the boat had to stay in Dubrovnik for two nights because of the rough seas. He made sure we barely noticed the difference. Our room in the lower deck was large and very comfortable. With a max of 38 travelers, we had the opportunity to get to know several guests. We stayed 3 additional nights at the Plazza Heritage Hotel in the Split Historic District, which was a real treat. And now for the not so good part. Nature Trips gets a 2/10. Omar didn't communicate well. I had to actually call Tour Radar twice to get him to respond to my concerns. I discovered that 3 additional nights in Split were done through Expedia. Nature Trips over charged by more than $1,000. I had to go through Tour Radar to get him to realize what had happened as he was not responding to my message. On the plus side, he did respond to have the voucher ready early as we were first going to Turkey. On Oct. 12, the airport transfer was to pick us up at 3:30 a.m. The voucher only said the driver would wait for us with our name on a sign. The only problem is that the driver couldn't drive into the historic district. We had no idea where to meet him. I sent Omar a message asking him to confirm the transfer and where we should meet the driver. As usual, Omar didn't respond. The contact number printed on the voucher was missing a number. I finally found a number to find out it was no longer in service. Two receptionists at the hotel tried their best to contact someone with negative results. At 3:40 a.m. the night receptionist walked with us to where we could catch a taxi to the airport. I have sent Omar another message explaining what we had to do and that I expect him to credit us back the 50 euros it cost to take the taxi, as the airport transfer was included. Naturally, I've heard nothing back. I shall have to call Tour Radar once again. In conclusion, if I had this to do again, I would book directly with Katarina Line, Plazza Heritage Hotel, and arrange for airport transfers. I choose to book through a tour agent to receive personal attention while traveling. Nature Trips failed on this account. We had a 20/10 experience with Iglesias Tours in Turkey, so this was a big let down.

  "Most of the trip was good. We had a problem when the first hotel was changed and we were given bunk beds, but a text to Palma fixed that. .
