James & Carano party

Our travel group of 8 had done some bare boat sailing in the British Virgin Islands and  loved the view from the sea and the intimacy with nature. Wanting to try some place different, we looked to Croatia with its huge coastline and its troubled history. Being located between western Europe and the communist block we knew there was a lesson to be learned by making it our choice. We decided to go in early September. We missed the 100 degree heat, the water was warm, the crowds were gone, but everything was still open and alive. We found Secret Dalmatia and Mirna. They are located in Croatia and she arranges tours for people like us who have no idea how best to put together a land and sailing trip to Croatia. Mirna spoke perfect english and was immediately responsive to our ever question. In no time she coordinated a 7 day land trip with small buses, dr... >>> read more>>>

Private Tour of Croatia

Mirna, I am writing to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip to Croatia organized by Secret Dalmatia, When were in the planning stages of this holiday Joan and I were much impressed by the your agency's flexibility in involving us in the planning. It was, in that sense, our trip and not a typical packaged tour. We were able to amend the suggested itinerary to allow us the free time that we wanted so we could explore on our own.
As far as the agency is concerned everything was done to a very high standard. The drivers were unfailingly polite and very professional and helpful.
The other arrangements that were made allowed us to see and do things that we would not have found on our own, particularly the "behind closed door" lunch and the wonderful lunch at Pelligrini. The visit to Mario's vineyard and wine tasting was wonderful as was the lunch prepared... >>> read more>>>

Private Tour of Croatia

Dubravka:
It is good to be home and somewhat caught up on our sleep after the ten hour flight and eight hours time change.
We do what to thank you again for keeping in touch on our travels in Croatia and especially for rearranging the ferry trip from Hvar to Korcula. Every aspect of our stay in Croatia was a marvellous experience from our first greetings in Spit to our bon voyage from Dubrovnik.Each of our guides was first class. The history lessons were excellent, but also the culture and personal experiences of our guides was a bonus. Our drivers too, were courteous and very attentive.
Highlights of our trip? There were several. We did so enjoy our lunch with Cedo. The lunch itself was enjoyable but also the conversation was so interesting. A fine dinner in the olive grove was the culmination of a wonderful day of seeing the island from one end ... >>> read more>>>

Private Majestic Croatia

Dear Mirna,

We had a wonderful trip and thank you for arranging everything! We will recommend you and Secret Dalmatia to our friends and Croatia as a premier vacation spot. Our accommodations were gorgeous; our guides and driver were professional (but also so friendly and kind). The special meals (Tatjiana, Pellegrinis, Peka train station) and wine tastings--absolutely superb! We have no complaints at all. If we were to recommend to someone, I'd probably not go to Plitvice, just because of enormous crowds, and spend the extra time in Split. We were not disappointed to miss the Stone picnic because of weather and my husband was able to find plenty of fresh oysters in Dubrovnik.

My husband says he would recommend taking lots of cash on the wine tasting trip, as the second one accepts onl... >>> read more>>>

Adventure in Croatia

Hi Mariana,

The Croatian trip was dazzling. Of course the country has an abundance of magical elements: gorgeous coast, superb cuisine, fascinating history and architecture. But Secret Dalmatia managed to translate all these delectable aspects of Croatian culture and landscape into immediate, palpable, first-hand experiences for us. Ironically enough, some of our pleasures sprang directly from Croatia's economic travails. Because of the shortage of jobs in non-tech fields, professionals (art historians, economists, linguists, etc. ), have no choice but to gravitate toward tourism. Luckily for us, Secret Dalmatia seems to have scooped up the most personable, savvy, and brilliant of these experts. As a result, our guides were a consistent delight. Usually fluent in several languages, they amused and amazed us. As we saunt... >>> read more>>>

Private tours and transfers

Dear Dubravka,

I just wanted to let you know how much we loved our tours with your company. While we usually travel independently, we were delighted with your services. The drivers you provided, Mikhail and Drazan were wonderful and made the travel a pleasure. They saved us so much time with their knowledge of the area and were full of suggestions for things to see and do. We especially want to commend Drazan, as he spend several days with us, and was an absolute pleasure. He is so polished and professional, and his English is wonderful.

The process of planning the trip was easy and enjoyable, and the communication once we arrived was superb. We felt like invited friends, not just clients. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
