What travelers are saying

"A great, varied itinerary which gave a fabulous flavour of Croatia. Starting in Split, a beautiful walled town. The hotel was good but a little way out making it difficult to get the most of a short stay. All the islands we visited were beautiful, the itineraries interesting and different each day. The lunch at the local farm was a real highlight. I really enjoyed the bike ride on Mljet, easy route and great as no cars. The stop in Ston was also really super and an unexpected great wall walk. The final hotel in Dubrovnik was stunning, although away from the bustle of the walled town very easy to get in by bus. Dubrovnik was a highlight for me and I am pleased I added 2 extra days to the week to make the most of the town. Vedran our guide was exceptionally good, very knowledgeable and worked really hard to help and support us. Nothing was too much trouble. A super week, highly recommended if you want to see a varied collection of what Croatia has to offer."

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy
