This was an amazing trip filled with a variety of activities that kept us moving and immersed in the local culture and history. The sunset views from the top of Marjan Hill in Split were breathtaking! Views from the fortress in Hvar were incredible both during the day and the night. We even hiked to the top of Mount Srd! You need a good set of walking shoes for this trip! Walking the walls of Dubrovnik while the sun was setting cast the perfect light for pictures. Wine tasting and biking were also fun adventures! There is so much to see and do! We felt safe even at night. Thank you 🇭🇷!

Hotel Reviews
Garden Apartment Hotel
Split

We arrived at night and we were unsure of this hotel’s location. The location was one of the things we loved the most! You can walk up the stairs to the most beautiful viewpoint in Split just outside your door. We were in the first unit and had a nice little balcony with a view where we could relax. (I am not sure if all rooms have this lovely view.). You need to keep in mind it is an older room, but the bathroom is beautifully renovated. The place was extremely clean too!!! ( I would recommend better pillows. ) The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Some rooms are very small but they make great use of space. There is room for luggage under the beds and furniture is full of shelves and cubbies. The rooms were very clean. We had a junior suite and it was very large and comfortable.
Location
This hotel is a short walk to the town. It is up on the hill so keep that in mind. (Most places require walking with stairs.)

Hotel Ivka
Dubrovnik
Authenticity & Character
Our room was lovely with plenty of space.
Location
This hotel is just below the bus stop. It is a short ride (10-15 minutes). You can get tickets in the lobby. It is easier and cheaper to buy ahead of time but you can use a credit card on the bus.

It was great to have such a wonderful, small group tour! We were able to have conversations and ask questions which made this experience more personal. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly! It is nice to learn about the history of the city you are visiting!

The park was a beautiful park with the sound of rushing water everywhere you went. The walking was fairly easy on well taken care of boardwalks. It was nice to explore outside the city for a few hours. It is close to split and can walk through in an hour or so. A nice change from the city if you need an activity!

Once again we had a wonderful tour guide who shared all about the history of the city. A small group was perfect for a personal experience where we could talk and ask questions. What a beautiful city to explore!

Adrian was a wonderful guide! It was wonderful to learn all about his life in the small town and bike the beautiful countryside! We felt safe on the roads and the e-bike made the adventure fun instead of grueling! The lunch and wine tasting were lovely! This is a fun activity for anyone wanting to get out of the city and explore the countryside! Thanks Adrian!
