Luxury Tour!

Croatia | Jun 10 - Jun 23, 2026

We usually do all of the planning, booking, and driving on our trips so we felt this was like traveling in luxury. Nikola did an amazing job of figuring us out and provided the perfect balance of experiences and independent time. We loved how our accommodations were all in quiet areas but also walkable to the towns and beaches. The help with luggage was such a bonus and it seemed to us we always had the best room. Loved the outdoor seating area at Hotel Dea in Hvar. Our favorite stay was Villa Giardino. Igor (Nic) was an exceptional host. Our 2 days on Bol ended up being our favorite of the trip, for its quietness and beauty. All of our excursions were great but probably enjoyed the boat trip on Hvar and kayak trip on Korcula the most. We were not expecting the homemade treats and wine from Boris (Ithink) on the kayak trip! For guides it was great to have locals, especially Ivana in Dubrovnik and Hana in Montenegro who actually lived or went to school in the walled cities. We were impressed with the punctuality of all of our guides and drivers and the instant communications if things went awry. Perica in Dubrovnik and driver to Montenegro was the most conscientious. In closing, it was clear to us that most every place and every person knew Nicola and his colleagues and wanted to do their best to impress us and him.

Hotel Reviews

Villa Giardino

Bol

Such a beautiful setting and such personal service! We loved the care put in to the breakfast and the research Igor put in for what to do.

Authenticity & Character

The landscaping and grounds were beautiful. The interior of the room struck us as mismatched for the setting. It felt Hollywood Regency instead of Adriatic coast.

Location

Quiet but ocean view and close to everything. Loved the garden in the back and the breakfast area.

Dubrovnik

Great location away from crowds and loved the beach bar area and views.

Authenticity & Character

The view and access to the water and our balcony was amazing!

Location

Maybe nice to have had a view of Dubrovnik old town but would agree that location being away from crowds was worth it.

Staff

Mostly totally on top of service

Cleanliness & Comfort

Very clean but feel the room decor was a little tired and needed updating.

Activity Reviews

Full Day Boat Tour to Blue Cave & Pakleni Islands

Croatia

Sadly couldn't go to blue caves due to winds but loved our other spots, especially our lunch stop in Komiza. The restaurant recommended was our best meal of the trip!

Sea Kayak Tour on Korčula

Korčula

Such a beautiful place to take a kayak tour! Loved the homemade food and beverages as well as information about the area. We would add that we would have liked a little less guided tour on the islands and more time in the kayak and a chance to swim on each of the islands.

Quality of Experience

As mentioned above, would have liked to have had a little less talk and more swimming on all 3 islands.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Our guide made it very personal and we learned a lot about the area. Loved how his family contributed to the food and wine!

Transport

Nice to have a personal pick up from our hotel!
