Been home for a week and have not stopped smiling.

Identifying the specific thing that makes this trip memorable is impossible. Croatia’s vibe is uniquely its own. The country and it’s people are welcoming, cosmopolitan, small town warmth, pragmatic and joyful all at once.

There’s was not a single second that was disappointing. The small group focus of the tour allowed for connecting with other tour members which enhanced the experience. Visiting small local businesses like the winery in Ston and Lumbarda felt like we were being welcomed into their homes.

Our tour leader was the amazing Vajna! If you are blessed to have her as your guide rest assured you are in fantastic hands, she is thoughtful, full of knowledge and I simply cannot say enough about Vajna or this trip!

I’ve been home for a week and have not stopped smiling.

Most Inspirational Moment

Can I say the entire trip? No? Well then I'll say Korcula and Mljet national park as there were no crowds on the trail up to the incredible view.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vajna is her own incredible brand! She cared for us like her little ducklings šŸ„ we were prepared for every step, catamaran que, restaurant selection and walk/hike.

Fantastic holiday with a wonderful tour guide Vanja. Met new friends and saw and viewed great sites.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing Dubrovnik from high

Thoughts on Group Leader

There arenā€™t enough adjectives to describe how fabulous she was. Went over and above. Best group leader I have traveled with. Including all explore and exodus trips which are about 15

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go on this trip

Perfect Guidance

Croatia presented beautiful scenery and numerous historic sites, with local guides to explain it all. The hotels were acceptable, the breakfasts nothing to shout about. Our random group of travelers meshed well. But the real praise goes to our tour guide, Vanya, who treated us as family, carefully explained each day’s itinerary and made sure that we could concentrate on the sites and not on the logistics.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking the wall in Dubrovnik.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic. Engaged, responsible, informative and charming.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take the local bus from the airport in Split to the hotel in Trogir. Inexpensive and easy to do. Pack for variable weather.

David and Maureen review

This was an enjoyable holiday, despite several disappointing issues. Good: The places visited were splendid; our guide, Mila, was excellent; and the members of our group were great company. Bad: The hotel (3 nts) in Korcula was awful. The hotel in Dubrovnik (3 nts) also had problems.

Most Inspirational Moment

The places visited were splendid, for the scenery and sights of Dalmatia, which neither of us had seen before, are wonderful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide, Mila, worked very hard all week to make our holiday a success. Her commitment could not be faulted.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure the hotels have been vetted properly by Exodus if you can.

Reply from Exodus

We are really grateful for David and Maureenā€™s review, and are glad that they enjoyed this trip and the sites they visited in Croatia, and that they were happy with their tour leader, Mila.

We are, however, very sorry to hear that they were disappointed with the hotels the group stayed at on this tour. We have been using the hotel in Lumbarda, Korcula for several years and have previously found it to be a pleasant, comfortable family-run hotel with a lovely location, which has received positive feedback from our groups in the past. A member of the Exodus team joined David and Maureenā€™s departure and did note that the property is looking a little tired at present, though. In Dubrovnik, we were looking to try a different property from our usual hotel, which we felt was well situated closer to the old town, which is the main attraction of our stay in the city. We have taken the issues that David and Maureen mention on board, and can confirm that we are reviewing these hotels and considering using different properties for departures of this trip in the upcoming holiday season.

We hope that this can show that we are taking David and Maureenā€™s concerns seriously and that we are proactive in sending our team members to regularly review our trips, in order to improve customer experience going forward. We very much hope that the rest of their holiday exceeded their expectations and that David and Maureen have some wonderful memories of Croatia overall.

Awe inspiring

You start this trip in Trogir, a 10 minute bus ride from Split airport, and no matter what time you arrive on the first day you are sure to recieve a warm welcome! The accommodation throughout the trip is excellent. Staying mainly in small family run hotels/ b&bs but a larger hotel chain in Lapad Bay in Dubrovnik. Vanja our tour leader was exceptional. She made she we were all clear on the itinerary and had us all organised for the transfers and group activities. There’s a great mix of organised fun, and time to explore or relax as desired. Everywhere you go in Croatia there seems to be another incredible view or piece of history . Throughly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore Croatia. My top tips: take cash, and quite a lot of it! No-where really takes card so we all had a dash to ATMs which charge around 5 euros a time. If you’re planning on walking up Montokuc ( which is optional) take sturdy walking shoes and poles will be helpful. Get the 3 day dubrovnik pass! Saves you a fortune in dubrovnik and it’ll save you a lot of time getting the bus ( included in the pass) between the hotel and the old town.

Literally the best! Cannot fault Vanja. She made us all feel safe and welcome and was very knowledgeable about the tour, croatia and all the locals. We love our Mama Duck!

Great trip with a mix of cities & islands

One of my favourite Exodus trips, a combination of great locations, a fantastic tour leader and a really friendly group. I’ll definitely return to Croatia!

Most Inspirational Moment

Dubrovnik was a fabulous city to visit, beautiful to walk round and also a great place to people watch, while enjoying a coffee & cake! The views from the city walls were stunning. Korcula was also a real gem, we found a lovely little restaurant in one of the side streets during our evening visit and enjoyed a surprise city tour with a great local tour guide!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vanja ("mama duck"!) was a great group leader who really went over and above to ensure we all had a great time. It was a big group - 20 people - and a mix of ages, couples and solo travellers, and she made sure we were all really well looked after. Even during her "downtime" she was checking on her "ducklings"!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book this trip and enjoy every minute! I'd say this was suitable for most ages and fitness levels, there was a good balance of sightseeing, walking, ferry trips, cities & islands. Not forgetting tasting local wines, liqueurs and produce. Something for everyone.

Thank you Croatia ā€“ Iā€™ve fallen in love with you!

The first time I have visited Croatia and although others had told me what a beautiful country it far exceeded my expectations. Although Trogir, Lumbarda, Split and Dubrovnik are the main destinations, the islands were absolutely beautiful. So many different experiences were offered: Catamarans/Ferries, Vineyards, Olive Groves, GRK Winery, Olive & Liquor Tasting & Beaches amongst many. It felt like I had been there much longer than a week, as we visited so many different attractions.. I was concerned initially about being part of a group of 15, but what an amazing group they were! The Hotels were fine, improving as we progressed, with the Hotel Splendid in Dubrovnik, excelling my expectations. Ivan, our guide was absolutely superb and so informative in the history of his country. His patience, assistance and management of such a large group was off the scale. He also had a great sense of humour! Be ‘warned’ ā€“ lots of walking and steps!! My Fitbit states: 126,836 steps, 96 km and 236 floors, but it was so worth it!! I can’t recommend this trip highly enough

Most Inspirational Moment

Learning about the history of the country, from Ivan and the 2 local guides

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ivan, our guide was absolutely superb and so informative in the history of his country. His patience, assistance and management of such a large group was off the scale. He also had a great sense of humour and appeared to enjoy our company individually as well as the group as a whole. On some of the more tricky walks, he always made sure myself and others were OK and helped where needed.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The hotels do not have lifts, so be prepared for hiking your case up a few flights of stairs. Almost everywhere is accessed by countless steps and some of the terrain had large boulders to manoeuvre. The pavements in Dubrovnik are polished limestone and are slippery if you don't wear shoes/sandals with grippy soles. We were very luck with the weather and only had sun, but they would be lethal if raining.

Beautiful country - highly recommend visiting

End July 2022 visit My first visit to Croatia and I wasn’t disappointed. The places visited and the coastline are beautiful, lovely blue clear waters and great weather. Split, Trogir and Dubrovnik are key highlights of the trip, however the small islands visited are also a much see. This trip doesn’t involve too much time travelling, so you get to experience what Croatia has to offer, the accommodation also gets better as the trip progresses, and the food is amazing. I was part of a group of 13, we all got on really well and had an amazing time. Ivan the guide was super efficient and very helpful, encouraging us to share his love of walking in the many beautiful places we visited. Highly recommend this trip as a Croatia taster, I will definitely be visiting the country again.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed visiting Dubrovnik and hearing about its history, walking the walls in Dubrovnik is a must.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ivan the group leader was brilliant, really well organised and super helpful to all of us in the group. Arranging great places to eat and unique experiences along the way.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack some beach shoes as some of the beaches can be made up of sharp stones.
