Most Inspirational Moment
The national parks were great, particularly Krka with its shady walks and wildlife - both were incredible. All the old towns were amazing. I particularly enjoyed seeing Diocletian's Palace = found that very interesting - and liked the town of Split (plus the very nice hotel there - the nightingale singing in the trees was a bonus for several of us!). Really enjoyed visiting the family with their herb garden. Finally arriving at Dubrovnik was a lovely way to end the trip = I'd heard so much about it and it lived up my expectations. And I enjoyed my half-day on Lokrum island too. I loved the sun and blue sea! I was struck with how clean everywhere was.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vanja was a great organiser and, also, lots of fun. She is a genuinely caring person. I felt safe with her in charge. I felt safe generally throughout the trip - that everything would go well - but, also, I have a food intolerance and, while looking after the whole group, she always made sure I had something nice to eat while dining with everyone. Vanja clearly loves Croatia and she inspired us with her enthusiasm. We laughed a great deal during the trip. I have been on several small group tours in the past, which I have enjoyed - but I feel that Vanja is an exceptional leader. She was like an incredibly well-organised friend.
