Dear Dubravka,

Croatia! Where do I start? The experience was wonderful, magical, from start to finish. Traveling with our grown children made the experience even more special, as we enjoyed each other's companionship while we marveled at the beauty of the country.

The itinerary that you arranged for us was perfect. We all remarked that every day was so different, yet equally enjoyable. We were busy, but we appreciated the fact that we had some "down time" for leisure. The hotels were lovely, the breakfasts were great, the guides were so knowledgeable, and the drivers were safe and professional, yet so kind and accommodating. And, of course, every venue along the way was beautiful.

I cannot praise you and Secret Dalmatia enough for the program you ... >>> read more>>>

Croatia Explorer

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but things have finally settled down and I have largely caught up from my time on vacation.

Our trip to Croatia was truly memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our itinerary, the people we met, the guides that you provided and the beauty of Croatia. We are sorry that we were not able to stay longer and see more. I would have enjoyed going to various locations in Istria, some of the other off-shore islands and Slavonia.

In retrospect, while we thoroughly enjoyed Split and Dubrovnik, and would not have wanted to miss them, the highlights of the trip were visiting the islands of Hvar and Brac. They were truly unique and memorable. The excursions you provided and our interactions with your guides added so much more to the overall experience.

Tour of Balkans

Dear Alan,

It has taken us several weeks to begin absorbing the experience of our journey to your homeland. We were dazzled by your warm and embracing welcome. We were dazzled by content and beauty. We were enriched by the quality of people we met from the rising of the sun and its setting each and every day.

You, Alan, were the masterful architect who drew the blueprint for each day. We set high expectations and they were exceeded. We are grateful to you and your team beyond measure.

In the weeks to come we will attempt to create a photo narrative of a significant number of photographs (we took over 1,000). Our memories remain vivid and in abundance. We'll keep you posted.

We would be thrilled to welcome you a... >>> read more>>>

Private Tour of Croatia

Dear Mirna
Both Tim and I want to tell you how very much we loved the Secret Dalmatia adventure.It was truly custom made for the four of us.We have travelled as a foursome for 23 years now and always on the last night,over wine we rate the trip against previous ones.You were very near or at the top.
The quality of our guides,Nives in particular,and of our drivers,all of them but especially Ivan at the end was outstanding.Nives proved both knowledgable and flexible and personable in her presentation of our days.She could change gears from cathedral description ,to best place to buy shoes, to what kind of wine ,to current political discussion in an instant.What a gem!
The 13 course tasting menu at Pelligrini ,with wines just about put us under the table but we loved it.
As well,we fell in love with Mario and his passion for wines and the winery t... >>> read more>>>

Private Family Tour

Dear Vlasta,

All went well and we left Croatia for Slovenia the day before the border closed. Danny's friends were not so lucky the next day, as their train to Slovenia was stopped and canceled. They had to leave through another country.

Everything for us went perfectly and each of the guides and drivers was exceptional. If I were forced to pick one as the very best, it would be Ivan because of his huge personality (and body). Your recommendations for restaurants were all great and each of the hotels were excellent. Most importantly, we experienced Croatia and all its beauty with minimal effort and stress on our part. As a bonus, our guides and drivers, through their different perspectives, helped us to understand (at least a little) the complexities and tragedies related to the brea... >>> read more>>>

Private group program

Dear Mariana and Alan,

Thank you both for working with us on the trip planning and for ensuring that our first trip to Slovenia and Croatia was informative, enjoyable, and relaxing. We have indeed all arrived safely home with wonderful memories of your beautiful country and its people. And we also all agreed, that we want to return to see other parts of the country and some of its neighbors.

The hotels that you selected were excellent, and again, thank you for resolving the error in Split so that Jane and Joy were able to fully enjoy that part of the trip.

Your drivers and guides were very professional and excellent, especially Peter in Slovenia, Nives, in Split, and Dalibor and Drazen. The day in Trogir with Tatjiana was exceptional, and the capt... >>> read more>>>
