About this trip
This coach tour runs from Dubrovnik to Zagreb, tracing the Dalmatian coast before cutting inland to the capital. Over seven days you move through Split, Zadar and the Plitvice Lakes, with a local guide along for the ride and meals included as you go.
It suits people who like travelling in a group and don't mind covering ground — the route takes in coastal cities, historic old towns and one of Croatia's best-known national parks in a single week.
What you'll do
- Explore Dubrovnik's old town
- Walk around Diocletian's Palace in Split
- See the Sea Organ and old town in Zadar
- Walk the boardwalks and waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park
- Finish in Zagreb
- Coach-based tour with a set group and local guide
- You change base several times over the week, so expect travel days between stops
- Meals and hotel accommodation are included
Worth it if you value knowledgeable guides, seamless logistics, and a balanced pace. Think twice if you need more than one night in Dubrovnik or prefer avoiding long van days.
- Guides consistently go above and beyond: opening convents, adjusting schedules for jet lag, and treating you like friends rather than tourists.
- Driver quality transforms the experience—multiple reviewers singled out their driver as a trip highlight for warmth, humour, and excellent meal stops.
- One night in Dubrovnik feels rushed; reviewers wished for two or three nights but this isn't offered as standard.
- 1–3 hour van rides between towns are regular; weather can impact outdoor days like Plitvic Lakes.
