Spectacular from Start to Finish...We Hated for it to End!
Croatia
|
May 4 - May 13, 2023
In a nutshell, it was a phenomenal trip from start to finish. Sarah did a marvelous job working with me in the pre-planning stages and putting together what promised to be an active holiday that covered a lot of ground, and once we arrived in Croatia, Sarah and Ivan were in regular contact with us to make sure things were going well. Their accessibility and immediate response time was impressive, to say the least. It's difficult to fully convey how prompt, professional, courteous and engaging the drivers and guides were, but we are grateful to our drivers (Ivo and Zoran), our kayak guides (Eddie and T), our speedboat skipper (Ivo), and our bike tour guides (Joseph and Joke) for ensuring we had a truly memorable vacation in a very special part of the world.
Activity Reviews
I had a great time during the Dubrovnik Kayaking Adventure. The weather was good, and the water was refreshing, even though it was a bit early in the season. I got some awesome pictures, and the experience was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this activity.
The all-day boat tour to the Elaphiti Islands was exceptional. Our boat captain, a Croatian Navy Seal, was an excellent guide. The owner of the company personally came to our hotel and picked us up for the tour. Overall, it was a fantastic and personalized experience that I would love to do again.
This was one of the most special excursions of the trip. We rode on brand new e-bikes with fantastic local guides. At the end of the tour, we went back to the owner's tasting room for a wonderful wine and cheese tasting. It was an amazing, personalized experience that I would highly recommend to others.
The Pakleni Islands Kayak Tour was a great experience. The owner of the kayaking company personally greeted us after the tour, and we were their first customers of the season. The tour was enjoyable, and the scenery was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this activity.
The Biking Tour of Split & Marjan Hill was fantastic. We had private guides who spent hours with us, showing us the beautiful sights of Split. There was a small mix-up with the meeting location, but it was quickly resolved, and we had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour.
Our day trip to Ljubljana was a memorable experience. We had a small group bike tour with a great guide, and we covered a lot of ground that we wouldn't have been able to on foot. The weather was colder than expected, but we still enjoyed exploring the picturesque European town. I would definitely recommend this day trip and biking tour.
