Croatia, a trip of a lifetime! With less than two months to plan this trip, Sarah was fantastic! The accommodations, private tours, tranfers via taxi or ferry were all great! If there ever was a question while traveling, Sarah or Ivan were available 24 /7 to address it. As two women traveling alone in a foreign country, it was so nice to be able to contact someone with any questions. We truly enjoyed our time in Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik, especially our bike tour in the mountains south of Dubrovnik with our guide, Adrian. Adrian went out of his way to show us true Croatian hospitality. Croatia is truly a beautiful country and so are its people! Thanks Sarah for such a wonderful trip!

Activity Review

E-bike tour in Dubrovnik with wine tasting and snacks (small group)

Dubrovnik

Can’t say enough about Adrian and this biking tour! ! . It was so nice to get out of the city for the day and experience the small towns of Croatia. Enjoyed the spectacular scenery, the lunch on the river , talking to the winemakers at the winery, and getting to know Adrian and his family. By the end of the day, Adrian was more than a tourguide, he was our new friend!

Quality of Experience

The authenticity of Adrian. He really wanted us to have a good time and we learned a lot about his culture.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Adrian Was very accommodating . He knew we were having a good time at the winery and did not want to shorten our experience so his wife volunteered to take us back to Dubrovnik because he had to get to work. Never felt rushed. We felt like part of the family!

Transport

Car was very nice and ride to our biking destination was pleasant and informative
