Tour was very well organized & our tour guide, Jegor Modric, was exceptional. We have been on many European tours with different companies & Jegor was the best guide we have ever had. He went above & beyond the expected to accommodate everyone & make the tour enjoyable. Croatia was beautiful & we had a great time.Emile Faust

I have been on quite a few tours. This was by far a one that stood out! For the beginning, everything was great! It was very nice that we only had 17 people total in our group! Our tour guide Jegor Modric was I think the most caring person and was great with everyone! He really made everyone feel like he was there for us! He spent time with each person along the way. I was not able to do some of the walking, so he would take me to the end where everyone would end and make sure I had a cafe to sit and have something to drink. The hotels were very nice and clean, great locations. I know not all tours are this small, but we really enjoyed that and would be nice if it was offered as an alternative to tours! I know it is a little more expensive, but I know I would pay for a smaller group! Loved Croatia, beautiful place!Connie Faust

We have been on 5 Collette tours and this was not my favorite for several reasons. Our tour guide was very good at times but sometimes did not give us enough information. For example we went to a restaurant up in the mountains in the Istrian but arrived late because we stopped at a town called Hum that I thought was a not worth all the extra driving time. We could have stayed longer in Opatija which was a beautiful city with lots to see instead of all the driving. We also stopped at a winery which was very enjoyable but by the time we got to the restaurant it was between lunch and dinner, but we thought we were getting lunch, so we had no idea we would be getting so many courses. We were all full by the time the main course came. I feel a restructuring of the day is called for leaving out Hum. For us we were not given enough time in Opatija and too much time in Split and Bled. I know you cannot please everyone, and we all have different expectation, but this is the first time we were a little disappointed in the experience. That said, the country was beautiful and we did have some extortionary times.

I was very disappointed that our tour guide had us leave beautiful Opatija to bus for over an hour to a distillery. We had very little time to spend in Opatija. I would have appreciated to just stay there. The excursion was promoted as a smalltown experience, a museum, distillery and dinner. The dinner, a pasta dish was excellent. The town was just a church and the museum was not a museum but a small structure with rooms filled with old equipment representing different activities.Barbara Warfel

My best experience was Montenegro because both of the guides had low pitched voices and I was able to hear all they said. My hearing loss does not permit me to hear high pitched tones. Unfortunately, although the main guide was truly a gem, she had a very high pitched voice and I was able to hear only approximately 20% of what she said so a great learning experience was lost.Daryl Yarmoloy

Overall, the tour, and especially our tour manager, was excellent. However, the meal on the final night (in Zagreb) was not up to expectations- the food was average, at best, and the service slow. Also, baggage handling in several hotels was slow, especially upon arrival. Based upon experiences at previous hotels, many guests felt it necessary to take baggage to their rooms themselves at the final two hotels.

Croatia as beautiful, but there are a few items your company needs to improve to come up to your standard. Our tour director, Neb, made the tour enjoyable despite the constant change of hotels, etc. I was disappointed that Montenegro was not offered as advertised . Some of the hotels did not have a safe in the room. One of the hotels had a safe that was not secured to a solid surface.. DUH !... Coffee pots were not in every hotel room. The wifi on the bus was inconsistent. Only a limited few were able to log on and use it successfully.

We thought the tour was of good quality, and we enjoyed our fellow tour members. Our tour manager was caring and helpful, and our bus driver was excellent. Dubrovnik was spectacular, and the hotel there was lovely, right on the water. But because of severe crowds, visits to Plitvice Lakes and Diocletian's Palace in Split were not very enjoyable. Stops at smaller locations were more fun, like lunch/dinner at agriturismo on Istrian Peninsula, at Ston, Croatia, and at Lake Bled, Slovenia. More time was needed for the additional trip to Montenegro. The tour should have left at 8:00 a.m. to give a longer period of time to explore Kotor. Dealing with passports and border crossings slowed down the trip. It would have been helpful to have a list of tour member names, home town, and email addresses in the tour booklet. We'd prefer to have gratuities included in the price of the tour--it's a nuisance to have the right amount for all the guides, bus driver, and tour manager. Two long days in the bus could have been avoided by planning the itinerary in a different way. Because the Croatian coast is so beautiful, could a portion of the tour be on a small ship, visiting a couple islands?Katherine Lintault

The Collette Tour to Discover Croatia, Slovenia & the Adriatic Coast was my first tour with Collette and it far exceeded my expectations. The tour group consisted of 27 adults from the US, UK, Mexico and Australia. All participants were able to fully participate in the outings (lots of walking in the heat & swimming in the Adriatic). Group members were friendly and respectful to the other guests, guides, and locals. The hotel accommodations, travel arrangements, tour bus, food, sights, itinerary and our Tour Guide & the local guides were excellent. Our Dubrovnik Hotel was a 5 star hotel on the Adriatic - magical! tCroatia is a beautiful country, great food, interesting, long history and a first world country. Our Tour Guide was intelligent, articulate, friendly, professional, caring and a wealth of interesting history and stories. He followed up with us to ensure that anything we may have brought to his attention was promptly addressed. I'm looking forward to booking my next Collette tour.Austine

We did not spend enough time at any one destination giving us few options of what we could do in our free time. Our free time on this trip was minimal. There were too many early morning starts and we drove the length of the country twice. We heard conflicting information from two different tour guides on the same day. We went through Malania Trump's home village and there was no mention of it from the tour guide. She is only the first lady of the United States of America. Our excursion to Montenegro was a big bust. It was a full day's drive and we were there only a short time for a little loop around the city, eating lunch and back on the bus. I liked walking the wall in Dubrovnik and if we had taken the boat ride I would have missed that. We should have been there longer to experience whatever there was to offer no matter the cost.

The tour should have started in Zagrab and we should have stayed there a few days to rest up after our long journey, sightseeing, museums, etc. Instead we had to get on a bus and travel another two hours only to zig zag back and forth across the countries on the bus. When we got back the last day, hoping to finally spend some time in Zagrab we were in a different hotel than promised because ours was overbooked. The town with the shops were too far away and coming in late afternoon there was not much time once again to see what Zagrab was all about. We did not have enough time to do anything or we would have missed the farewell dinner. Dubrovnik, walking the wall was our favorite experience along with the Plitvice National park and the waterfalls. Stopping at the side of the road to look at lakes was not our idea of sight seeing/touring ...we have 10,000 lakes in Minnesota.

This was our family's first tour with Collette and we all loved it. Our tour manager was knowledgeable and fun. The bus driver, Bozo, was professional and knew his way around every nook and cranny. Everything ran smoothly with a few minor exceptions, involving weak air conditioning at 2 hotels (we never bothered to complain). Our family arrived a few days early to spend time on the island of Krk where my in laws were born. Opatija was charming...I would spend more time there. Dubrovnik and Slovenia were both stunning. I could live without Split and Montenegro, however. My favorite memory included the optional day trip to Istria and the unforgettable meal we shared deep in the countryside. The final group dinner in Zagreb on our last night together was a lot of fun which included a delicious meal just a short walk from the hotel. We had a delightful group of 34 people from all over the world ranging in age from 18 to 80. We booked our airfare through Collette and received round trip ground transportation from our home to the airport and back home again. Collette even arranged hotel and transportation for us pre-tour for our early arrival to tour Krk. I also appreciated calling Collette and not having to jump through hoops to speak to someone. Everyone in the office is very helpful and sweet. I would not hestitate to book another tour with Collette.Mary

The tour of Croatia and Slovenia was very beautiful, interesting and exciting. My favourite part was visiting Plitvice Lakes.Irene

Dubrovnik was my favourite stop. Walking the walls of the city and staying at the amazing waterfront Valamar Lacroma was quite the uplifting experience! The day trip to Montenegro was alright, but an extra day in Dubrovnik might have been better appreciated. Flying into Venice seemed awkward. Especially when it was not part of the tour.Heather

There are several that spring to mind - climbing past the Plitvice Lakes in the pouring rain; exploring Dubrovnik and staying at the beautiful Valamar President hotel; dinner with the family in Cilipi and discovering the beautiful the city of Ljubljana. That was a complete surprise.Catherine
