About this trip
Nine days across Croatia from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik, built around the country's landscapes and food rather than just its coastline.
Expect waterfalls at Plitvice, wine in Skradin, a truffle tasting, and time to properly explore Dubrovnik's old town, all in a small group.
It's designed to work well if you want to bolt on other European travel before or after, rather than a closed-loop package holiday.
What you'll do
- Walk the lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice National Park
- Taste wine in Skradin
- Sit down for a truffle tasting
- Explore Dubrovnik's old town
- Start the journey in Zagreb
- Moderate pace suited to independent travellers who like some structure
- Small group with guaranteed departures
- Good fit if you're combining it with other trips through Europe
Worth it if you want a relaxed pace through Croatia with stellar guides and good hotels. Think twice if you're fussy about included meals—hotel buffets underwhelm compared to local restaurants.
- Guide Zoran is genuinely exceptional—knowledgeable, funny, safe driver, remembers names, keeps tabs on everyone.
- Small group size (17-25 people) fosters real friendships and allows proper time in each location without rushing.
- Hotel buffet meals are uninspiring; you'll want to eat out at local restaurants for better food quality.
- Early season timing means some amenities and attractions may not be fully open yet.
