Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Enter the fantastical underground world of the Postojna Caves – one of the longest karst caverns in the world – home to strange rock formations and creatures like the eye-less salamander.
Ride the cable car up Mt Vogel for exceptional views over Lake Bohinj and the foothills of the Alps.
Treat yourself to a truffle tasting in Motovun during an Exclusive Experience. Truffles are combined with local specialty dishes and a sommelier will pair your tasting with suitable Istrian wines.
Spend a night in Rovinj at the stunning Hotel Istra, which sits on its own private island. Then, head to your Feature Stay that pairs centuries of history with the perfect location right on the most gorgeous square in Split.
Explore scenic Croatian towns like the resort town of Opatija and seaside Sibenik, where you'll explore the 15th century stone Cathedral of St. James, decorated with 71 sculpted faces.
By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Tuuur Foundation partner, Humana Zagreb. Donations help provide job opportunities and education programs in sustainable fashion and textiles for people with disabilities.
Is this trip right for you?
Summer temperatures can be very high 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. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.

Loved this trip! Being a small group allowed us to have special experiences off the beaten track, experiencing the local hospitality as well as the natural beauty Croatia has to offer. Great accommodation, delicious food, and super knowledgeable guide Dinko made this trip engaging, relaxing, and so much fun.

The entire trip was well organized and balanced. I could not have asked for a better guide and driver, who felt like they were truly a part of our travel group and our friends!

As a solo woman traveller in my early 60's, heading overseas for the first time in 15 years, choosing this Intrepid premium tour, Venice to Split was the smartest way to see a fascinating part of Europe with great company and an amazing and knowledgeable guide.

Absolutely had a blast on this trip. It was for my mother's 60th Birthday and Pavle (tour leader) and Teo (our driver) made it a birthday she would never forget. It was also her first time out of the USA and she couldn't ask for a better trip. 10/10 would recommend this trip to others.
