WHO YOU'RE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH
Jordan has spent 20+ years arranging private tours across Turkey and the wider Mediterranean, and personally plans each itinerary, including Croatia routes through Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar and Korcula. The same person who answers your first email is the one shaping your trip, so you are never explaining your plans to someone reading from a script.
PLAN YOUR TRIP
MAY – JUNE, SEPT – MID-OCT
Warm enough to swim, noticeably fewer cruise-ship crowds in Dubrovnik and Split, and the easiest months to get a table without a reservation. Most repeat travelers’ first recommendation.
JULY – AUGUST
Hottest weather, longest days, and the busiest Old Towns and islands of the year. Book accommodations and guides well ahead if traveling in this window.
NOV – APRIL
Quiet and mild on the coast, though many island hotels and restaurants close for winter. Better suited to Zagreb, Split and inland routes than an island-hopping trip.
Yes, you choose the cities, islands, and parks to include and how the days are paced. Professional planners shape the whole route around your interests.
A Croatia tour covers private transport, expert local guides, and selected hotels along the route you pick. Visits to spots like Dubrovnik, Split, and Plitvice Lakes National Park come with every transfer handled.
Popular stops include Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb, Pula, and Trogir, along with islands like Hvar, Brač, and Korčula. Many trips also take in Plitvice Lakes and Krka National Parks for their waterfalls and lakes.
That comes down to how much coastline and how many islands you want to cover, since Dubrovnik, Split, and the national parks sit some distance apart. A week is a common starting point, with more time added for island hopping or a wider Dalmatian Coast route.
Yes, you travel in a private late-model vehicle with your own driver, so there is no shared coach or group timetable. Transfers between the cities, coast, and islands are arranged as part of the trip.
Late May through June and September into mid-October give warm swimming weather with far fewer crowds than peak summer. July and August are hottest and busiest; November through April is quiet but many island hotels close for the season.
Mostly pebble and rock rather than sand, with striking clear water. Zlatni Rat on Brač and Banje Beach in Dubrovnik are among the most photographed, and many islands have quieter coves your guide can point you to.
The euro. Croatia adopted the euro in 2023, so no separate currency exchange is needed if you are arriving from most other parts of the EU.
Most US, UK, Canadian and Australian passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist stays. We confirm the exact requirement for your passport when we plan your itinerary.
Yes, this is one of our most requested combinations. Dubrovnik connects easily to Montenegro and Bosnia, and Zagreb sits close to Slovenia’s Lake Bled, so a multi-country route is straightforward with a private driver.
Dubrovnik and Split both have international airports well suited to a Dalmatian coast trip, while Zagreb is the better entry point for a route that includes Plitvice Lakes or continues into Slovenia.
Croatia sits in the middle of the range for Mediterranean destinations, generally less expensive than Italy or the French Riviera but pricier than the Balkans further inland. A private tour costs more than a group bus tour but includes your own driver and guide throughout.
