Is this trip right for you?
verified
Please be aware that the Croatian coast is very hilly and mountainous, which means lots of steps are an inherent feature of the landscape. You will have to be able to easily lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and inclines. Also, stone streets become very slippery when wet. Some people may find Croatia's topography very demanding.
verified
Summer temperatures can be extreme in many of the regions visited (over 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Additionally, please be aware that July, August and the first half of September is high season along the Croatian coast, which means that the local infrastructure is under a lot of pressure with a lot of people in the towns we visit. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
verified
Hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together.
verified
On the islands of Korcula and Hvar, we are staying in private apartments that locals rent out during the summer months. These are in various buildings spread across town, but all are within a 15-minute walk of the main square. The apartments are not hotels, which means there's no reception, room service or daily cleaning service, no televisions or washing machines, but plenty of charm. They differ in layout and facilities, can vary in size, and most don't have air-conditioning or wi-fi. The individual rooms are allocated on a same-gender, twin-share basis. However, the apartments are allocated on a mixed-gender basis, so you’ll be sharing a two or three-room apartment with the other group members. We try to use apartments with rooms that include private facilities. On rare occasions, apartments may only have one bathroom to be shared between the group members staying in the same apartment. In this case, if you've booked a single supplement, you'll be allocated a single room, but you'll share the bathroom with the group.
verified
On this trip, you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag. Although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight to 15 kg (33 lb).

Explore Croatia was the perfect balance between experience and relaxation. We saw multiple islands, but also had enough "free" or "down" time between tours and experiences to venture out on our own, shop, walk, grab a coffee and get lost. This is the perfect trip for a balance of exploration and relaxation, highly recommend.

I would recommend this trip. It is a great way to see some of the highlights of Croatia. The trip included lots of activities and had a mixture of time with the group and free time. The tour guide, Bashkim was very enthusiastic and passionate about his country, I learnt a lot from him.

This trip was amazing. Our guide Petar was so knowledgeable about local Croatian culture. His knowledge as a historian was apparent. He’s so positive and fun. We saw so many great places. I would highly recommend this trip and itinerary with Petar.
