Most Inspirational Moment

Trogir was really pleasant for the first part and the day in split. Time in Dubrovnik was excellent and the opportunity to go to Mostar was well worth it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader Edo was first rate

Advice for Potential Travellers

July is very hot. Air conditioning is limited, and there is a 2.5h boat crossing where you cannot go on deck. The plane food is not very exciting. But don't let those put you off.

Suggestions

the whole group went to Mostar, infact it seemed the whole world was in Mostar that day. The trip was exceptional value.

Most Inspirational Moment

The magical island or Korcula. I was expecting Dubrovnik to be the star of the show and that was great but Korcula is magnificent. The view down on the old town on its peninsular jutting into the sea is unforgettable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The leader can make or break a trip and Edo, our group leader, was fantastic. At first sight he's a huge bear of a guy but very friendly, totally reliable and unstingly helpful. He ran himself ragged to make the trip run smoothly. I can't praise him highly enough.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If travelling in the summer be prepared for the heat - we had 32c-37c - and no air-con in the hotel in Korcula!

Suggestions

I have been on many Exodus trips and they have all been good but this was one of the best. A great, friendly country and a terrific group leader made it a truly memoranle experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

The serenity of Mijet Island National Park.The hustle and bustle of the "cruise ants" around Dubrovnik.Food, glorious food - freshest seafood, crispy pizzas, gooey pastries, gelato of every flavour imaginable!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Dalibor was excellent, professional and efficient.  Underwent his duties with care, consideration and with hissense of humour

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't bother taking Kuna's - you'll get a much better rate of exchange once you're there.Travel light - it's all very casual.

Suggestions

I would have liked an extra night in Trogir, a really pretty harbourside old town.We all ate together every night, which although great fun we did pay the price - not in Kuna's however, just the length of time it took to for meals to appear, but hey ho we're on holiday and when it did arrive it was scrummy.  We just had to have another glass of wine whilst we waited - no hardship there!Croatia is still very unspoilt in parts, beautiful islands, bays, scenery and people - a world away from your "bucket and spade" brigade.  Hospitality was generous and gracious.Put it on your "to go" list - and make it soon!!

Eating fresh fish while on a boat anchored in a bay off Mljet, after a beautiful walk... Wandering the streets of Dubrovnik

Thoughts on Group Leader

Friendly and helpful; always willing to answer questions.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The walking trails can be quite stony - for that reason, if I were packing again, I'd be taking "proper" walking boots rather than the softer ones I actually took.You can drink the water form the fountains in Dubrovnik, so don't buy bottles there!

Suggestions

This is a great trip if you just want to chill - there are no long travelling days, and there's time to explore everywhere (make sure you get out in Trogir in the afternoon/early evening on arrival though, as there's not much time to do it the following morning before going on to Split).

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking around the walls of Dubrovnik, after the guided tour- the views were great  The views from Montokuc on Mljet – worth the effort  Cocktails in the tower (Korcula) 

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good. Always happy to answer any of our questions. Good at keeping us organised, but without making us feel hurried. Though he wanted to tell/shows us more around places like Split he couldn't due to guide regulations, but was always on hand for a suggestion of something interesting we should see.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you go for the walk up the Montokuc on Mljet buy some lunch in the shop on the island. Our climb took longer then expected and as a result we didn't get back in time to order food from the restaurant before the boat back – but there was time for a well deserved quick pint!   If you are getting any Kuna before you depart it's handy to have some 10s, 20s, & 50 notes. One course meal and drink can vary between 80-150. If you have smaller denominations it just makes life easier (Instead of everyone trying to break 200 notes)  Like others I wasn't initially sure about going to Mostar, but glad I went. Though the drive was 3+ hours it was good to see another country/culture. As many of the group reasoned -you're more likely to return to Dubrovnik for a long weekend, then to pop to Mostar.

Suggestions

Personally I would have liked it if we had a local guide for Split/Korcula town for an hour or two, to give us an overview of these two places (Like we had for Dubrovnik) .   Though saying that, sometimes just walking around on your own is a good way to see a place   Overall its a nice leisurely trip, ideal if you want a relaxing holiday with good food and culture

Most Inspirational Moment

All the towns seem to have been frozen in time. Korcula, on the peninsula is a beautiful small walled town, with plenty of places to walk, and great restaurants.  Dubrovnik is stunning.Split and Trigor are great for wandering around the narrow streets and finding local bars.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Krsto was excellent.  He was professional but laid back at the same time so never felt like he was in your face.  Everything was organised perfectly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The day trip to Mostar in Bosnia is a long trip, but worth it.  But take Euros - you seemed to get the same exchange rate for Euros as Sterling.

Suggestions

Great week trip - you see and do loads, but because distances arent too far, you dont feel rushed and you have plenty of time to see everything.  Also Trogir is only 10 minutes from the airport so you are quickly at the resort.

Most Inspirational Moment

Many highlights - some that spring to mind were:Walking the walls of DubrovnikView from the top of the "mountain" on the island of MiljetThe seafood platter at Mali Ston on the peninsulaKorcula old town from the boat

Thoughts on Group Leader

Great - entertaining and knowledgeable, and the right level of laidback and organised!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go on the day trip to Mostar, its well worth it. I'd read some previous reviews that said it wasn't - but decided that I definitely wanted to go just to get the extra stamp in the passport! However, although it was about a 2 and a half hour drive each way, Mostar is great, the views on the way are beautiful and the countryside is really interesting. We stopped at different places in both directions and it was really great to see how different Bosnia and the interior of Croatia are from the coast and the islands.Other advice is to take some warm clothes - in April most of our group misjudged the temperature, especially in the evenings!

Suggestions

Great trip, thoroughly recommend!
