My favourite part of this holiday was the boat trip to the beautiful island of Mljet and the island of Mljet with it's stunning lakes.Trogir, Split old town, Ston & Dubrovnik are also amazing.The whole trip was just great.  

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our tour leader was the best, so far, for me. He gave us enough information without overloading, has a brilliant sense of humour and is genuine with his care of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Although the trip notes say that trainers are fine for the walks you might want to take sturdier walking boots. I was fine in my trainers, however, the walk around Korcula island has a lot of loose stones and others of the group felt that they would have prefered to have better footwear.

Loved walking the walls of Dubrovnik. Great views and lots of history, ancient and modern.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Always bursting with enthusiasm, Kristo was a friendly and knowledgeable leader. Made sure all the arrangements went super smoothly. Found us some really good places to eat too.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you like an early morning cuppa take a travel kettle - none of our rooms had tea or coffee making facilities.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Krsto, had a great sense of humour and made everyone feel comfortable. Krsto had a natural ability of keeping the tour organized and on schedule, but without stepping on peoples' toes. He was patient and flexible when dealing with a variety of personalities. It was great fun traveling with Krsto and the trip wouldn't have been as much fun without him!

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would definitely use this company. It was wonderful to have all of the logistics organized, yet not feel like you are part of a cattle herd being led around. I felt like I had simply joined some other people traveling around and we had luckily found a nice guy to show us all the cool places to go.

I had no idea how lovely Dubrovnik is - until I got there.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was an experienced and well-informed guide who never imposed but was always there when I needed information or help. He also had a good sense of humour!

Advice for Potential Travellers

It is helpful to know that the season in these parts doesn't begin till May. In April you will miss the crowds but lots of the restaurants and tourist attractions are closed.

My favourite part of the trip was the day out in Mljet. We were treated to fantastic weather, which allowed us to enjoy the beauty of the island. After the climb up to the viewpoint in the heat, I felt I fully deserved my refreshing plunge into the saltwater lake.

Our tour leader was fantastic. Effortlessly keeping control of the group, friendly, funny and genuinely interested to show us the country. He really made the trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Super - very aware of different interests and needs and realloy efficient and accurate in the information and help she gave. Thank you Sanja.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Travel light, leaving room for buys, especially food items - love the honey with nuts and fruit in it.  Also, if going in high summer, be aware that the long walk has little shade, though our leader was very good at building in rest stops when we found shade.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our tour of Dubrovnik was very interesting and sad in some respects based on the recount of the destruction of Dubrovnik during the homeland war.  It was inspirational to see how both the city was rebuilt and also how the tourist trade is again flourishing.  

Thoughts on Group Leader

One of the best tour leaders around I would say. Sanja is a treat to meet, full of fun, pertinent information, she worked well with all members of the group who ranged in age from 70 to 32. What struck me most about Sanja is her conscientous nature and love of her country, people, song and culture. Exodus travellers you are in for a treat if you travel with Sanja.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The holiday is not too active, it blends a few good walks with plenty of relaxation time.  My tour went in October, which was a lovely time of year to travel in, the hot months of July and August might not be best time to travel.

Most Inspirational Moment

Undoubtedly walking round the city walls of Dubrovnik in the late afternoon sunshine.  The red tiled roofs stood out against the sparkling blue of the Adriatic sea - a photographer's paradise.  The walk round the city walls is optional, but was a highlight for me - definitely worth taking one's time over this.  The optional day trip to Mostar in Bosnia was also well worth doing, in spite of the long drive.  The small town of Mostar was bustling with tourism, but it was worth spending time in the museum and watching the little film to get a bit of a feel for the history of the bridge and what it meant to the people - you could not help being moved by this.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was fun, engaging and informed.  He was a good organiser, in spite of our being such a big group, was very amenable and eager to please.  Full marks!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be aware that this is really a 6 day holiday, not actually 8 days as billed, as you arrive in the evening and depart in the morning.  Be prepared for some very busy local bus trips, as the Dubrovnik hotel is way out of the city.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you can afford spend a few extra nights in Trogir.The location of the Hotel Sumratin in Dubrovnik was good as you could get away from the crowds which are in the centre old town to a nice beach.
