Tour of Dalmatia

Hi, Alan,
Thank you for the smoothest, best-executed trip EVER! We've traveled internationally a good bit and your service is the best we've ever had.
It is a leap of faith to wire money to an individual you've "met" on the internet,- rather like internet dating - so we were thrilled when a man with a sign met us in Dubrovnik, and everything flowed like clockwork from there!
From the beginning, I knew I'd found a winner when you responded promptly to each and every email. You immediately grasped the type of trip I was trying to arrange and the type of activities that our group was interested in. When I first began researching the trip, I sent the same information to you and to another tour operator. The other group responded to me too, only they sent a plan for the wrong number of guests and the wrong dates! Two rather basic bits of information! You never made a mistake! Whe... >>> read more>>>

Tour of Croatia

Hi Alan,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for helping us have a great trip to Croatia. We really enjoyed ourselves, food was good, scenery was even better.

The San Rocco in Brtonigla was fantastic – staff were really helpful and friendly. The accommodation was lovely. The degustation dinner was good, perhaps some dishes weren’t quite to my taste, but overall, very nice.

Ethno House in Plitvice Lakes – I know you probably don’t book guests in here regularly. It was quite simple accommodation, but I liked it – it was rustic and the building was in an interesting traditional style.

Hotel Ivan in Sibenik – I think you tried to warn me that hotels in Sibenik aren’t that good! The Ivan was quite dated, which was ok for one night, but we found that the staff were quite disorganised too – not sure if it is their computer systems... >>> read more>>>

Croatia Discovery

Pamela and Alan, I wanted to let you know that our trip to Croatia last week was fantastic.  Our itinerary was perfect.  Each of the places we visited was very different, and each of the experiences you arranged (walking tours, a buggy tour, an offroad tour) was terrific.  The hotels you arranged were beautiful and unique (and top notch).  Finally, your service was great – when the weather threatened our plans, you were ready with last-minute alternatives, just in case.  Thanks for everything, we would be glad to act as references and will be recommending you to our friends and colleagues.

Private Tour of Croatia

If you have gotten this far searching Croatia and in particular Secret Dalmatia, obviously you are interested in the country and intrigued by the travel company. Having just returned from Secret Dalmatia’s May sojourn, we offer this advice: Go to Croatia and utilize the services of this particular travel group. Why Croatia? The NY Times called the country the new Rivera and Dubrovnik Europe’s most beautiful city. Lonely Planet named it the world’s hottest travel destination and both Sports Illustrated and GQ use the country for photo spreads and praise its many attractions. It’s everything you will read and much more. The country and its people have strong aspirations and tender hearts.
Our tour guide was Roni, incredibly knowledgeable about the country, always concerned for our comfort, obliging in our requests, and a thoughtful, careful driver who surprised us with humorous a... >>> read more>>>

Dalmatian Holiday

Dear Alan,
To be a tourist abroad is one kind of experience; to be a guest is another. But our third consecutive trip to Croatia has made us feel like family coming home. Our two previous trips were sensational, each better than the one before. Could our third live up to our expectations? Oh yeah. Starting out with some relaxing days on Vis, we quickly shed the stresses and strains of everyday life and got into the quiet rhythm of coffee on the waterfront, shopping in the farmers’ market, listening to the waves lap the rocks right under our windows at night.
Moving on to Imotski, an area barely mentioned in the guide books, we had the amazing experience of staying with a family: sharing homemade meals, lovely wine, walks, and long stimulating conversations on so many subjects.
Returning to Šibenik, our favorite destination in Dalmatia, we were immediately embraced by dear ... >>> read more>>>
