Philip Spayd review 10 Jul 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Walking along the Adriatic Sea away from the crowds and taking swims along the way. The food was extraordinary. Split and Dubrovnik are special2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We went 23 June to 3 July. We expected very warm weather but temps were well above normal. So be prepared to make adjustments in your walking distances. We opted to shorten some walks in favor of swimming stops3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we felt it supported these goals. Ultimately it is up to the traveler to make personal decisions that support the local culture and environment.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Five stars. Planning and responses to questions were excellent. Plenty of trip support—written guide, gpx files and guided phone navigation. Very nice accommodations.Amelia Randolph review 28 Sep 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The beauty of the Dalmatian coast. Everyone was very friendly.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The hotels were below the quality expected and we feel the cost did not reflect this. We've done a lot of these type of trips and this definitely was the lowest value for money of all of them. Also, there were unexpected costs like having to pay a park fee on Mljet that we don't believe was mentioned ahead of time. There was no guidance on restaurants, particularly that we would need to make reservations for the better places weeks prior to our travel. Also, figuring out lunches was more difficult than usual. We were told places might be open, but felt that having definite guidance from the tour company would be more helpful.3.

Not particularly re environment. Probably benefits local people4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Hi Amelia, Thank you for your review.
Before booking confirmation and paying the deposit clients do receive our PDF file with all the trip details. All hotels we use on this tour are described. They also receive a list of booked hotels to review, which they confirm once they are happy to book the tour and pay the deposit. Regarding the entrance fee in Mljet national park, this information comes under the NOT INCLUDED section in the PDF (in red it says: Entrance fee to national park Mljet to be paid on the spot). Regarding the information about restaurants we will definitely add this information for our future clients.
As a walking holiday clients greatly reduce their environmental impact and benefit local people by staying in local accommodation.
We hope this information helps and do let us know if you have any more feeback,
Dalibor
