Hi Jeanne and team, we just got back from our amazing trip to Croatia and you were not kidding when you said that even I will be happy with all the historical sites you had in our itinerary.
It was great to go through the whole country and see how different it is from North to South. I don’t know what was better the hotels you chose or the tours. The guides were so energetic and full of knowledge, our kids loved them, especially the full Game of Thrones tours in Split and Dubrovnik and the gladiator tour in Pula! Two thumbs up, we will be back but next time we want to do some island hopping.
