Cecily Forsyth and Jim Rogers, Australia
Private Tour of Croatia
September 2015.Hi Mirna,
Cecily has only finished her conference in Dubrovnik yesterday afternoon and at airport there now in fact.
The holiday was terrific. Organisation seemless, no hitches at all. Very good and excellent selection of guides and drivers, cars good, hotels good and ones near old towns very convenient.
Dubrovnik hotel sensational location over the water!
Cecily at Kompas for conference and it is a good hotel too by the way, though further from town.
Food a little patchy at restaurants with Zadar ordinary tourist menus in general (Went to a couple recommended by you and high on tripadevisor but not great, but I think no good ones there...seems to be well behind other towns for modernised, gourmet food). Sibenik gourmet lunch very good (though wished we knew so many courses coming as struggled to finish it all!...lovely staff there.)

Braun Family Private Tour
August 2015.Overall – I found Secret Dalmatia’s services, help and guidance to be excellent. Your company made my vacation much easier than it would have been.
Mirna – She is very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. Great to work with!
Transfers – Every one was on time, in a very nice vehicle, and helpful.
Hotels -
· Esplanade – classic, great location, great service, great room, great breakfast. My kids loved this hotel.
· Konoba Skracovic – boring but functional, ok location, fair service, fair room, fair breakfast. I think that’s how Karlovacs is?
· Bastion – nice décor, great location, great service, great room, great breakfast. This was my favorite hotel.
· Judita – tired/outdated décor, great location, great service (especially Andrea), fair room, fair breakfast.
· Lapad – ok (enjoyed the pool!), o... >>> read more>>>

Adriatic Dreaming
August 2015.Hi Dubravka,
I have been meaning to write to you, but returning to work after such a long holiday has been quite busy...
Thank you so very much for organizing such a wonderful honeymoon for us, we absolutely loved every minute of it! The sail boat was beautiful and comfortable, and Ivona was an amazing skipper and person! We had so much fun with her and her suggestions on where to go, what to do, and where to eat on each island we visited were all fabulous! Although all the places we visited were beautiful, we especially loved the island of Vis.
We are so happy we chose Croatia for our holiday, the beaches and sea are gorgeous, and so are the mountains (after the sailing trip we spent a day at Plitvice National Park). We were very impressed on how everyone spoke such wonderful English and Italian and on how clean and organized everything was (even the public ba... >>> read more>>>
Mckown family, USA
Private Family Tour
August 2015.Dubrravka and Diana,
Thank you for the greeting upon our arrival in split, one of our favorite cities of the trip (especially thanks to the staff at Palace Judita). It was so nice to meet you and be able to thank you in person for all you have done.
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation. Croatia is beautiful and the people are even more so. From the food to the hotels to the wine to the beaches, Croatia is one of our favorite destinations. I would not hesitate to recommend secret dalmatian to any of our friends and family. Every detail of our tour was taken care of--the transfers were perfectly timed and our drivers and guides were all very professional. i must say that Diana was right on spot with what i told her my family was looking for.
I do, however, have one small suggestion. I feel, it would have been helpful if you would have added what to expect on t... >>> read more>>>

Private Majestic Croatia
August 2015.Hi Mirna
Thank you for your email. We already gave you a lot of great feedback when we met, but overall we had a wonderful time which we will never forget. Our children, or should I say teenagers, especially enjoyed the holiday and all the restaurants in Dubrovnik were of course absolutely fantastic. The only negative note was the Valamar President Hotel, which is not really a 5 star international standard so we were a little disappointed in that, (eg staff were a little negative, food was not so good, the spa booked out 6 days ahead). But I think we were really just missing the wonderful smaller hotels we had enjoyed so much in the previous week! And of course you were absolutely brilliant with your support and ever-helpful attitude - you really made our holiday very special.
Many thanks again
John and Family

Custom Family Tour of Croatia
August 2015.Dubravka,
We're now settled back in after our trip, but wishing we are still in Croatia. We had an incredible time discovering your amazing country and were very happy with Secret Dalmatia- everything was well organized, follow-through was great and the itinerary, especially the side excursions, really made the trip special. Some more specific comments:
- the Hinterland visit with Dom was great. Dom was an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide and the meal we had at the small house was literally the best meal we've ever had in our lives (all four of us voted this way).
- the oyster farm tour and meal was unique and very memorable. Our host was very nice, we got a taste of local life and culture and not only were the oysters amazing but the mussels were so delicious too.
- In terms of hotels, Esplanade was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at (and I travel a l... >>> read more>>>
