Discover Croatia

Alan,
Everything was wonderful! We had a great time. Thank you for all of your hard work. We had no problems whatsoever. We really enjoyed our time in Dubrovnik. Our boat tour was fantastic. Our time in Split was also very nice. Our guide was great and we really enjoyed our time at the wine tasting. Those guys at Art of Wine are really fun! We also really loved Istria. We drank some excellent wine and ate great local food. We had dinner at Stari Podrum in Momjan and I think it was one of the best meals of our lives.
Thanks again for everything you did to make our trip so enjoyable. We've already told so many people how fantastic Croatia is - and how great your company is to work with.

Tour of Croatia
August 2012.Dear Alan,
Just a short note to thank you for a great trip in Croatia, we all had a wonderful time and enjoyed seeing the sites both in the cities and the country side.
All your guides/drivers turned up on time, in nice vehicles and were all very personable. They were all with one exception very knowledgeable and interesting. We had particularly good days with Mirko in Plitvice and Natasha in Split. Our favourite evening was at the Pelegrini restaurant, what a superb place that is, the food beat some of London's top restaurants in our opinion.
As you know I was concerned about booking with you, as you had no UK representation, however those doubts were unfounded, so if you have any uk customers who need a report on your services, i would be happy to give feed back.
Thanks for a great holiday.

July 2012.Hi Alan,
Just to tell you that we arrived home safely yesterday. We wish to thank you for your careful planning of our trip. We were very pleased with all the hotels, guides and drivers and very much enjoyed your country, Croatia, which was a complete surprise to us. The scenery and the hills are marvellous and the ocean and the history and the people and the food.
Kind regards,
Grace P.

Holiday in Croatia
July 2012.Hi Pamela,
The trip was spectacular! We had a fabulous time, and there was not one glitch (until our plane was grounded in Toronto, left 15 hours late, and they lost our luggage!) But the trip was over, and Rita and I could be late getting home.
Every place you sent us, every guide you got for us, and every B&B you booked was perfect. We can't thank you enough. I would recommend you and Secret Dalmatia to anyone who is looking to travel there.
I would love to meet you in person some time. If you come back up this way, please do call. I rarely get down to LA or Santa Monica any more.
Sincerely,
April Cederburg

Holiday in Croatia
June 2012.Hello Alan and Pamela,
We are just back from our trip and wanted to send a huge "Thank You!" regarding your help in making our trip to Croatia a magical one. Every aspect of the trip ran smoothly, and Alan, all of the activities you suggested to us were wonderful. Our trip to Modric Cave and our sailing day were both highlights of the trip. Our only suggestion would be to give a little more information about those two activities to the next person. We did not realize we had "chartered" the sailboat and could bring our own food, nor did we realize the cave adventure would be a hard-hat day. Neither lack of knowledge in any way spoiled things for us, but just as an FYI for the future.
We must send our thanks, also, to all of the people, from drivers to adventure leaders, for their love of what they do and their fierce love of their country. Andrej, Sonja, Marjan, Velselka, Florio,... >>> read more>>>

Private Tour of Croatia
May 2012.Dear Alan,
We just wanted to thank you again for a marvelous vacation. It was perfect in every respect. Croatia is a beautiful country with a rich history, a vibrant folk tradition, fabulous food and amazing wine and glorious hotels.
We especially liked our personal day with you at the Mestrovic Gallery and the wine pairing at Bibich.
All the guides and drivers were great and knew so much about their country.
I hope you don't mind one little suggestion: have bottled water in the cars. A very small effort that would be greatly appreciated.
Again our deepest gratitude for a tour that was above and beyond our expectations. We'll spread the word.
Very sincerely,
Joyce and Morley Helfand
