This is hard to judge. Our tour guide Isabel was a last minute substitution. She did a great job on the fly. The food was not what we expected after the tour in Dunbronik. Some of the restaurants did not seemed ready for us.

This was my favorite experience. Mario and Hatla are amazing. It was wonderful to see their house and property and what they have built. Mario is a great chef. They invited us back for olive picking. Think they enjoy opening their home to visitors.

We covered a lot of territory in 11 days but the way that Sarah planned made it seem like we experienced lots of things without being rushed. Thank you so much. Highlights were walking the wall of the old city of Dubrovnik, bike tour of Korčula, island tour of Hvar, Plitvice (so worth stopping there/ do 5 mile hike to upper falls!), Ljubljana walking tour and trip to Lake Bled. Loved it all!
