Tours & Trips through Central Croatia
Want to explore Croatia beyond just the famous coast? Central Croatia offers Zagreb's Austrian-influenced capital, Plitvice Lakes' waterfalls and boardwalks, with Samobor for cream cakes and hiking. You're visiting castles, wine regions, thermal spas. Central Croatia's less touristy than Dubrovnik and the islands, and that’s partly its appeal. The landscapes are beautiful, and it provides a different Croatia than the Mediterranean coast.

It was nice, the food was excellent, the Teran wine was top-notch.
Croatia Cycling: Kvarner Islands & Opatija Wellness DiscoveryThis tour was an excellent introduction to Croatia for us - with a good mix of the history of Croatia and its people, seeing beautiful gardens and the National Park. With local guides we learnt so much and walked around interesting areas. From the moment we were picked up by Mislov in Venice we got a good vibe and were reassured we'd made a good choice. This tour was very, very good. We highly recommend it to others.
Venice to Split Express - 4 days 3 nightsI booked a tour with a hotel stay and transfer, but at every step, I received very quick and professional support. The support team helped me with all issues and even organised a transfer from the car rental office, which is a 10-minute drive from the airport.
