DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

A really enjoyable trip, not too hectic, full of interest – and completely stress free.

Most Inspirational Moment

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.

Thoughts on Group Leader

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.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

My first holiday with Exodus and  ust about everything I wanted it to be. Would recommend as a good intro to holidaying on your own as there is a good mix of group/optional activities. 

Most Inspirational Moment

Probably Dubrovnik - sitting having a coffee just enjoying it all going on. Boat trip was also a highlight,lake swimming  and some lovely meals too...

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.

Suggestions

 A perfect mix of organised and free time, highly recommended as an intro to travelling as a single as part of a group.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

A warm welcome greeted us at the airport by our fantastic tour leader Sanja Reiter.  I knew from the beginning that the trip was to be a fun and informative one.  First stop was the UNESCO pretty town of Trogir, from there we took in the sights and sounds of Split, Korcula (great island and do try the vino from the region), Mjat and the gem of a city Dubrovnik.  The optional day trip to Mostar in Bosnia did prove quite a contast but an important one to see.  

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.

Suggestions

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone seeking a relaxing yet active trip away.  The group also made the trip a memoroble one for all the right reasons :)

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

This was a delightful, mildly active and varied holiday, with beautiful towns and stunning coastline to visit.  A good mix of countryside, towns and culture, and time to enjoy some of the places on our own.  My only critcism is that it really needed to be a day or two longer.

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.

Suggestions

A great introduction to a beautiful country.  It leaves you eager for more, and I am now keen to try the cycling trip.  I think the trip would benefit from being a day or two longer, as there was not really time to do all that we wanted in and around Dubrovnik, eg I didn't have time for the cable car or a boat trip to some of the islands.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

This was a lovely holiday.  It was good to move around Croatia. Starting in Trogir at a lovely hotel. Korcula Island hotel location good.  Dubrovik interesting, pleased hotel not in centre.   

Most Inspirational Moment

Loved Trogir and would liked to have stayed longer With the leaders help I was able to get tickets for a concert inthe Catheral really recommend this. 

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.  

Suggestions

The Rooms in the Hotel Liburna are a bit dated but the location makes up for it don't be put off when you arrive. 

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

Varied and relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the world.  We managed to fit a lot in without being ridiculously busy – plenty of time to do our own thing.

Most Inspirational Moment

It was great to be able to see three lovely cities as well as visit a very pretty island.  Walking the city walls in Dubrovnik was wonderful.  I felt I got a great overview of the region in a week.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Krsto was engaging with a great sense of humour.  His choice of restaurants was occasionally dodgy, but generally good.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Early June was a lovely time to go as it was lovely and warm without being too hot.  We had one day of rain, but that was it.  It was also still very green.If you don't do the Mostar trip (I was put off by the prospect of spending six hours on a bus) the boat trip to the Island of Lokrum is highly recommended.  The ferry only takes 20 minutes and it's a really relaxing place to spend a couple of hours away from the bustle of Dubrovnik.

Suggestions

A relaxing and enjoyable week.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

It was city tours that made it for me. Firstly Split. Dubrovnik is a must visit city as it is so pretty only; wish had more time there. In contrast optional trip to Bosnia showed a much more deprived country profoundly showing the effect of recent conflict.

Also relaxation was aided by afternoon flights both ways – definitely worth exploring all flights available to achieve this even if don’t take offered group flight as airport transfers are inexpensive due to close proximity to airports.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking City walls in Dubrovnik that fully circle old town allowing it to be viewed from many angles . Walking part of Ston Wall which is in style of China wall followed by oysters.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Group leader was native so able to effectively share culture of country including top tips of places to eat.

Advice for Potential Travellers

As mentioned check for best flight times. In May be prepared for some cool weather although we were lucky to have warm weather.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

An interesting and unhurried trip, wonderful scenary and lovely medieval towns with narrow cobbled streets

Most Inspirational Moment

The lovely coastal scenary with clear turquoise and blue sea, and Dubrovnik is a real gem, with its wonderful medieval buildings and narrow alleyways

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very organised and helpful, ensuring everybody was ok and enjoying their holiday.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It is very easy to withdraw cash from ATM''s as you go, so no need to take lots of cash with you.  The trip to Mostar is well worth it, it's a picturesque small town to wander around, and their is an exhibition with interesting although very sobering pictures from the war. It is worth considering adding on another day in Dubrovnik as their is a lot to see and do.  The cost of goods, drinks  and meals is not that much different from the uk when planning your budget. Most local people are very friendly and helpful, and many speak some English or will attempt to understand you !  You can get taxis from the airport easily and cheaply, and it feels relatively safe walking around at night.

Suggestions

I really enjoyed this holiday and felt relaxed and rejuvinated afterwards !

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

This was a fanstastic trip!! Though we had rain on several days, we managed to hit the weather right so that there was brilliant sunshine on the days that we spent walking, and the sites were breathtaking!

Most Inspirational Moment

There were inspirational moments throughout the trip. The walks were a partcular highlight - especially the hike up to the view point at the top of the national park island. I also really enjoyed walking the old city walls in Dubrovnik and visiting Mostar.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Krsto was honestly one of the best parts of our trip. He fostered a warm & friendly atmosphere and always kept things light and humorous. It would definitely not have been such a positive experience without him there.  

Advice for Potential Travellers

This trip is definitely worth doing!! The optional hike and Mostar trips are a must!!

Suggestions

Just to say, again, the trip was fantastic, and Krsto in particular deserves a lot of credit for that!!

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

A fantastic holiday, with a bit of everything to please everyone, breathtaking views, history, walks, sun, great food, we saw and did so much however still had free time to do our own thing. Thank you Exodus!

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved many things about the trip and it is hard to put my finger on one, i loved the walk on Korcula from the village of Pupnat to the town of Korcula; the breathtaking views while walking on the island of Mljet up to the peak of Montokuc; the day trip to Mostar was such a special experience and Dubrovnik... I was not disappointed...i found it as stunning as i'd heard it was...the view from the top of the hill (by cable car) and walking around the walls of the old town.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Krsto was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable and was never stuck for an answer with all the many questions we asked him. He knew so much about Croatia and its surroundings. He was extremely patient with us all, very kind and made sure everyone was included and enjoying themselves. He truly made my great holiday even better.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It was cold even though it was April, the evenings especially but even during the day, the wind was cold, except on the walks on the sunny days so take lots of layers and a jacket for the evening. The day in Mostar is worth the trip even though it is a 3hr drive there x 2, so don't let that put you off. Always have your camera available, the views and scenery are worth capturing. Take sunscreen even if it is not that hot...it was definitely needed on the sunny days. There are a few early morning starts so don't party the night away every night if you want to enjoy the next day.

Suggestions

This tour is for you if you want a bit of everything at a leisurely pace. It is a great introduction to the coastal part of Croatia and has left me wanting to go back for more.
