Just recently returned from a 1 week(Sat to Sat) trip to Venice and Croatia that was arranged by Adventures Croatia. We are a family of 4( two adult daughters). We flew into Venice spent a day and half there and then went to Rovinj, Istria, Pula, Split, Ston and Dubronik. We flew back home from Dubronik. They made all the arrangements including all hotels, airport transfers and a private driver. Everything was well organized, hotels were first rate, car was a large Mercedes van with ample room for luggage, and the drivers were first rate(English speaking). There were no issues during our trip. We made a last minute change during the week due to weather and this was done easily.We did the Truffle hunting with the dogs with Daniela of Natura Ltd whose family owns the Pietro Pietro brand that you will see in the stores in Croatia. What a great personal experience and you sat down for a wonderful lunch afterwards. The Oyster experience with the restaurant Bota Sare in Ston. This was a short boat ride to their farm and we had a nice lunch of oysters and mussels. We visited the Krka national park and the main attraction there is a short hike to see the waterfall.There is a contact person in Croatia that you can contact if you have any questions or difficulties and this person did touch base with us during our trip.Sandra Radovic from AC was very easy to talk to and arranged our trip to our specifications.Highly recommend AC if you are planning a trip to Croatia. They will work within your budget and your interests. Our trip was fast paced and if you want a more relaxing trip should probably add 1-2 days more days to your itinerary.

Our family is of Croatia descent (both grandparents lived in Dalmatia), and we took a trip in June in order to see the country, learn about our history, visit the homes our grandparents grew up in, and meet/visit with our cousins in Croatia. I had looked at several companies, but chose Adventures Croatia solely because of Sandra Radovic, our travel planner. Sandra is Croatian, and immediately understood our goal. It is quite a task to plan for a family trip of 9 with all different expectations. Sandra not only met our expectations but exceeded it! Sandra worked with and vetted our guides to ensure they showed/added parts of our history into the tour so we understood where we came from. The guides were top notch in every city and town we visited. Not only did the guides show us the highlights and history of the cities and towns (which they were very knowledgeable), but they helped us to fill in the blanks of our family history from all of the stories our grandparents told us for many years. In Stari Grad, (grandfather was from Hvar), our guide dressed in traditional clothes, made cookies of the period using a 1000+ year old recipe, and taught us about the Venetian and Roman influence on the island (which explained and filled in the blanks of our family history). This was one of the many "A-HA" moments we experienced during our tour. I could write an essay about the others, but picked one we all agreed was the best. That particular tour also included Hvar City and Jelsa, where we experienced a wine tasting and had the traditional Peka dish our grandfather used to cook for us (but in an oven). Along the way we met people that knew our grandfather and we learned their side of the story we heard for many years!Since we were a group, Sandra suggested we see Dalmatia by gullet, where we would have the entire vessel to ourselves. It was relaxing and great way to see the islands, for it was wonderful to be able to travel by boat and not have to worry about packing and unpacking in hotels for every city and town that we visited. Not all gullets are the same, and she ensured we had one that met all expectations of our group.She also planned our land portion of our vacation, as well as rental cars and hotels after our vacation so we could self-tour our grandparents homes, meet our cousins, and stay on Hvar where our grandfather is from. Our cars met us at the dock so we did not have to take taxis to a rental car facility. Sandra also gave us a contact in Croatia should we have any issues. No issues with any of the tours, hotels, gullet, etc. that Sandra planned. But, we did have an issue in that our luggage did not make our flight to Dubrovnik, and we could not wait for the airline to deliver for it would be delivered after our scheduled Dubrovnik tour the next day. I called the contact, and she set up a van that picked up a couple of us at the hotel so we could pick up 12 pieces of luggage. The flight ended up being delayed, and the driver had no issue waiting with us so we could get our luggage.Whether you are of Croatian descent or not, contact Sandra for she will exceed your expectations of your trip. She planned a very special customized trip for us that was absolutely amazing. We plan on using Sandra in the future to tour other areas of Croatia.

I enthusiastically give Croatia Adventures a 5 star review for planning our fabulous trip to Croatia/Slovenia/Montenegro. From the minute we arrived at the Zagreb airport until we left from the Dubrovnik airport, every detail regarding travel, guides and hotels was taken care of.The hotels they selected were excellent and in a perfect location. The guides were knowledgeable, entertaining and delightful. The drivers were most professional.The itinerary was such that we never felt rushed. We saw everything we requested with time on our own to explore. The oyster/mussell farm was a highlight along with the family Mujo farmhouse experience. We prepared our own meal with vegetables from their garden and ate family style.Everyone at Croatia Adventures were attentive to our every need and planned according to our budget. We had planned this trip 3 years ago right before the pandemic. They held on to our deposit without a problem and were very understanding when we wanted to postpone. I highly recommend the Croatia Adventures.

I spent innumerable hours communicating with Adventures Croatia, planning a very detailed customized trip for a group of 16 active, retired travelers to Slovenia and Croatia. My questions and requests were always handled most professionally and promptly. The company did everything they could to make our trip everything we hoped for. In the end, the trip went off as smoothly as could possible be expected.Our bus driver and guides at various sites were excellent. Everyone in the group had a great time.

We utilized Adventures Croatia for our honeymoon. Sandra was our travel specialist who worked with us to find out what we liked to do, what places we were interested in visiting, and worked within our budget. She was always responsive and gave a lot of great feedback. Once arriving in Croatia, we had a key contact, Dubravka whom we were able to contact with any concerns or questions. We had one hiccup the entire time (we were told the incorrect time for a kayaking tour) but it was resolved quickly and efficiently. We definitely enjoyed our experience with them and would recommend :)

We are in the process of planning an anniversary vacation and Sandra has taken a stressful process and made it enjoyable. She is a wealth of knowledge, super professional and kind, and works very hard to get the details just right. The team at Adventures Croatia has been a blessing and I look forward to working with them to plan our next adventure when the time comes!

The trip to Croatia was one of the best trips that I have ever experienced. We traveled through both land and sea. The country is beautiful and welcoming. After traveling the countryside, we boarded a small cruise ship (30 people) and cruised the. Croatian coast.The Croatian people are very friendly and the food is fabulous. All of the accomodations were first class.

My husband and I just got back from our 16 day trip to Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, and Montenegro, that Mimi at Adventures Croatia helped to put together for us. At every step of our travels, we were met by impeccable drivers and expert guides. This was truly a well crafted plan, and each day went off without a hitch. We started out in Zagreb and made our way out to the Plitvice Lakes. We saw Ljubljana in Slovenia and the magnificent Postojna Caves. Starting in Pula, we traveled down the Adriatic Coastline of Croatia, and Mimi made sure we were to see the best highlights that Croatia had to offer! Our final days were spent in Dubrovnik, which of course is a highlight itself.We had walking tours, tasting tours, and so many unforgettable experiences! We cannot begin to thank Mimi and Adventures Croatia enough, or their amazing ground team in Croatia for such a wonderful vacation. Kudos. Kudos. Kudos.

We were met by our first driver in Trieste, Italy right on time for the drive into Croatia. The vehicle was spotless, comfortable, with plenty of room for the 4 of us and our luggage. The driver was personable and very helpful. I’m happy to report this experience was repeated with every vehicle and driver during our week stay. We traveled to Opatija, Krka National Park, Sibenik, Split, Hvar, Ston, and Dubrovnik. We found each activity and tour to be well worth the time which included Truffle hunting, brandy tasting, oysters and mussels in Ston, wine and olive oil tasting, cooking class. The water at the beaches is the clearest I believe I have ever seen. Krka is a must see. Each of the private tour guides were excellent. They were happy to give us directions to neighborhoods with restaurants where locals ate. The ancient walls, fortresses, and buildings are amazing. The hotels were all nice with helpful staff and excellent breakfasts. The scenery is excellent. My husband and I have lived in 3 different European countries so we have traveled more weeks in Europe than I can count. We both agree that this trip was possibly our best ever! Adventures Croatia took wonderful care of us from start to finish.
