Flawless!
Fabulous! We absolutely loved
Croatia. You did an outstanding
job in arranging everything and
meeting --- actually, exceeding
--- our expectations. We
especially enjoyed our tour
guides in Split and during our
trip to Bosnia. The hotel Amfora
in Hvar was like paradise and
the hotel Grand Villa in
Dubrovnik was elegant and
conveniently located. Thank you
for your attentiveness to my
need for details and for your
professionalism in working
together to plan such a
memorable experience for our
family. I've been raving about
your country (and you!) to all
of our friends since we
returned, urging them to go see
for themselves. Many thanks to
you and all your colleagues.

Dear all at
Adriatic Luxury Journeys -- We
would just like to thank you for
organizing an amazing private
tour of Croatia for us. Our
driver Zlatko and our guide
Mariana showed us the best of
Croatia in a very unique way.
Zlatko is an excellent driver
and he took us to the so many
charming places where most
tourist never get the change to
go. We've tasted the authentic
Croatian specialties, had the
access to the finest local
dining, great boutique shops,
galleries and great night life.
We are so grateful to you that
you arranged for them to stay
with us throughout the entire
trip. My favorite was the island
tour of Hvar with a boat ride to
Vis and the blue caves in Bisevo.
I will never forget Croatia and
will recommend it to friends and
family, as well as travel
services of Adriatic Luxury
Journeys. Thank you!

You (Maya) did
a wonderful job of arranging our
recent trip to Croatia. All was
as promised and very efficiently
coordinated. Your country is
beautiful and I would highly
recommend it to tourists. Thanks
for your help and I would be
happy to be a reference to
anyone.

I just wanted
to thank you for all your help
arranging our trip to Croatia in
May. We were very happy with the
trip and would not hesitate to
recommend it to any of our
friends who may want to take a
similar trip. May was a
beautiful time to go as the
temperatures were around 18-22
degrees each day and we had
beautiful blue skies. It was
lovely for touring around.
Apparently they had a rainy
spring this year and up to the
week before we arrived the
weather was still wet so we got
really lucky!

The trip was
fabulous. Croatia is totally
beautiful in an undeveloped
rocky coastline way,
unbelievably clear water, the
islands are much farther apart
by sailboat than I had imagined.
We had to ditch one of them and
reconfigure our sailing plans
because there just wasn't time
to get there. Our skipper was
great. and who was an absolute
pro. We had to cook and sleep in
tight spaces and there's nowhere
to go but everyone adjusted and
relaxed. Sam brought a guitar so
there was always music. We spent
the night in little coves that
had maybe a dozen houses and one
restaurant in them. Little lost
nooks. The "bigger" towns are
fabulous little medieval jewels,
as intriguing as any medieval
Italian town in Tuscany.
Dubrovnik is like a stage set.
The Dubrovnik Palace hotel is
awesome and we really loved
being there after all that time
on the sailboat.

Dear Filip, We
have just returned from our
Croatia Trip and it was so very
good. You did an excellent job
with all the set ups and the
days at the different places
were perfect. Our driver that
took us the last day to Sas and
Slovinci was so very very good.
He made our first visit with our
non English speaking relative
very nice. Marianna, the
Croatian contact was also very
helpful. If you could give me
her email I would like to
personally thank her also. Do
you plan other trips besides
Croatia? We were very pleased
Filip. Thank you.

Maya, now that
I am beginning to recover from
jet lag, I'd like to share with
you some comments and reactions
about our recent wonderful trip
in Croatia. Despite the
frequently inclement weather, we
felt the trip was a great
success. Your planning for us
was efficient - drivers and
guides were always prompt and
helpful. The choice of hotels
was excellent. We felt that all
of our private guided tours were
well done with knowledgeable
guides who spoke excellent
English. I think the amount of
time we had in Zagreb was abut
right - and the hotel was
excellent. We had strukli at the
hotel and kremsnita at Vincek
bakery and they were great. I do
want to reiterate that the trip
was, on the whole, wonderful
despite the weather (we knew
October could be iffy). I
commend you for virtually all
aspects of your tour management
and I will be happy to recommend
you to others, as I have with my
good friend.
With thanks and best wishes,
Rona
Kevin & I chose
Italy and Croatia for our
honeymoon, and we thought we
would spend months planning it.
The companies we were finding
online had poor offer and
questionable existence. Then a
friend from Solana Beach
recommended Adriatic Luxury
Journeys with office in La
Jolla, California which is very
close to us. We checked their
offer online, called them and
made an appointment. We met with
Filip at their office and he had
our honeymoon itinerary drafted
in no time. We just came back
from our honeymoon this
September, and we had an amazing
time. Every single detailed was
flawlessly coordinated, and we
could finally relax after a few
stressful month of planning our
wedding. We could not have done
it on our own, and Adriatic
Luxury Journeys made it possible
for us to enjoy the best of both
countries that we always wanted
to visit. Thank you for taking
such a good care of us.
Kevin & Tina M.
We really,
really loved our Romantic Hvar
honeymoon! This was a perfect
choice for us as we did not want
to move around too much. Our
room at the Adriana was gorgeous
and we could not have asked for
more! Thank you Ann for
suggesting a few extra days in
Split. The rafting on Cetina was
awesome. We will never forget
our time on Hvar. What a
delightful place! Sophie and I
got to explore the entire
island, and were thrilled with
our guide who showed us some
incredible diving spots. Our
private sailing trip to Brac was
out of this world, and we were
pleasantly surprised with the
delicious lunch that you
secretly planned for us. We even
went biking on the island, did
some shopping, and loved our
romantic dinners in town. We are
so grateful to you for all the
detailed planning.
Best, Brian & Sophie.
My fiancé and I
did a thorough research for the
best company specialized in
honeymoons to Croatia & the
Adriatic coast, and we opted for
the Adriatic Luxury Journeys. We
spoke with Maya and she had
first-hand immense and valuable
knowledge of every little thing
about Croatia. She was patient,
trustworthy, professional and
very creative. We had the
Dalmatian Romance honeymoon
customized for us with private
yacht excursions to the islands
of Korčula and Mljet, a private
tour of Montenegro and wine
tasting with picnic lunch on
Pelješac Peninsula. We received
list of best local restaurants,
we visited wineries, olive oil
productions, and local fig
farms. We have just recommended
Adriatic Luxury Journeys to our
friends who are getting married
in spring of 2012. Matt and I
hope to get back to Croatia
again, hopefully as a family.
Thank you Maya from the bottom
of our hearts.

Hello Filip, I
just wanted to thank you for
your assistance in planning our
recent Croatian trip. As you
know, we visited four
cities—Zagreb, Opatija, Split
and Dubrovnik—and everything
about our trip was just perfect!
The accommodations were
absolutely beautiful. We really
enjoyed the Hotel Regent
Esplanade in Zagreb (its
breakfasts were so elegant) and
the Hotel Bellevue in Dubrovnik
(which upgraded us to a suite
which had a commanding view of
the Adriatic Sea). Also, staying
at the Hotel Vestibul in
Diocletian’s Palace was a truly
memorable experience. It was my
60th birthday when we were in
Split and we celebrated my
birthday by dining in Hotel
Vestibul's outdoor café. I can't
thank you enough for arranging
the drivers, who transported us
to each city and the airports.
Not only were the drivers always
on time, but they were friendly
and conversed with us about
Croatian sightseeing and
cuisine. We also had the
opportunity to meet some of my
relatives who live in the small
town of Smrika, which is near
Rijeka. Without your help, our
Croatian trip would not have
been the memorable experience it
was! Once again, thank you for
all your help and you can be
sure I will be recommending you
and your travel agency to my
relatives and friends. Diane R.
Thank you Adriatic Luxury Journeys for creating an incredible honeymoon
itinerary for us. Will and I just returned from Croatia and we still can't
believe what an awesome time we had. The Regent Esplanade in Zagreb was grand
and we adored the upper town and the charming Tkalčićeva. The couple of days in
Lake Bled and Ljubljana was really a good idea. We both like horses so we stopped
by at Lipica stud farm. My favorite time was a tour of Istrian countryside with
a visit to tiny town of Motovun. I think we had a best dish of pasta with
truffles ever! Our private guide in Istria was really great, she spoke perfect
English and gave us a very interesting tour of Pula, Poreč and took us to some
best art galleries in Rovinj, too. We enjoyed the Le Méridien in Split and loved
the time at the pool, there. Our favorite part was our private excursion on
yacht to the islands of Hvar and Korčula, then Mljet and Dubrovnik. The Leić
Dimitri Palace is an absolute heaven! We did not want to leave there, ever. Our
drivers were great, and the staff from your local office was always warm,
friendly and helpful. We took so many wonderful pictures from our hotel room in
Dubrovnik. Croatia was such a great choice for our honeymoon, and we are both
happy to found your company. Again, thank you. Marcie and Will C.
