Alan,
thank you so much for our wonderful visit to Croatia!
I will put a great review on your website, but wanted to send you a personal message.
First, out of five stars, you are a 10. Everything was stress free & perfectly planned. Our tour guides, Doris, Leo, and Timea could not have been any better. Doris also led us to a wonderful wine shop in Split where we spent a couple of hours talking to the owner about everything from culture to sports to governments to wine – delightful. The wine tour with Leo in Hvar was amazing. And the lunch at a private setting in Hvar was wonderful – I took so many pictures of the beautiful setting there. Timea was engaging & knowledgeable – great personality. Our drivers & ferry transfers were seamless and stress free.
The things I would change (realizing we gave you little help with expectations & we planned late!): would have stayed elsewhere in Hvar; the Old Town setting is youth oriented with pounding, electronic music until 2 a.m., & the hotel room was tiny; the taxi transfer in Split from the airport – would have been nice if he had led us to the hotel, which we did request, but perhaps the communications fell through – we got lost. Those are the only things I would change.
The lunch during the drive from Split to Dubrovnik was wonderful, as was the driver.
The Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik was incredible, world class.
I have (& will continue to do) recommended your services to everyone who is considering a trip to Croatia.
We absolutely loved the country & everyone we met there. Every restaurant server & taxi driver amazed us with their intelligence, their knowledge of the country and its history, and their pride of the country. Our last night before flying home, we ate at a restaurant in the Frankfurt airport & the server was Croatian, charming & engaging.
We plan on returning to your lovely country. My husband wants to retire there – we’ll see how that works out….
Thank you so much for your amazing service,
Jeryn Freeman
