FABULOUS trip! A trip of a LIFETIME!

Hi Katarina l just wanted to thank you for helping us plan a WONDERFUL trip! We LOVED Croatia our favorite country in the world now!!! The people are SO friendly, delicious, wines, sights....!!! Plitvice has been on my bucket list for YEARS and truly was a dream come true!!! We loved Krka Falls too we didn't know about that, also lovely! Everything worked out perfectly so we felt confident and secure with our travels place to place. I even learned a dozen or so Croatian phrases which l spoke when l was there. We loved the winery with tapas day and olive oil tasting day. Was a perfect balance of history tour days with foods etc.EVERY driver and tour guide was punctual and wonderful. We especially liked Dorian, Luka (both VERY nice) and Suzy ( she was quite enthusiastic and cheerful)and Tatjana who taught the cooking class in Split was GREAT! Not enough hours in the day l wish we had more time in Trogir and Korcula. Really enjoyed Pula and Istria region too as well as Split and Dubrovnik. So much to see in 12 days and wish we had more time to spend at Rixos Hotel to relax and enjoy it, was SPECTACULAR and AMAZING breakfast!!! LOVED your hotel in Opatija the breakfast was great, everyone who works there is TERRIFIC! Very friendly! We needed more time there too, went briefly in the pool and relaxation room would have loved to try the spa and enjoy the beautiful hotel more. Also in a PERFECT location as all the hotels were actually! A trip to remember for sure. I can't wait to go back! I certainly will recommend you to friends and wish you did itineraries in other countries so we can use you all the time. Hvala Puno, Patti Birnbaum
