With so much on offer, deciding on the right tour of Croatia isn't easy but we're here to help
Croatia's rich and diverse landscapes as well as its many traditions and culture mean that it's possible to experience a huge amount on a vacation in this relatively small country. This also means it can be difficult, with so many options available, to decide on a Croatian land tour program. Before choosing the right itinerary for you or your clients, we recommend considering three things:
Is weather important to you? If you're not sunbathing and swimming focused, the pre and post season offer the chance to explore crowd-free and secure cheaper rates in hotel accommodation.
Do you want to get to know one region really well or experience as much of the country as possible? Croatia's regions have very strong individual identities so consider if you'd prefer to experience one fully or several in less detail.
To make life easier for you when deciding on a tour of Croatia, we've put together a rundown of the top five Croatian land tours and who they're best suited to. If you'd like to create a bespoke Croatia travel program, our sales team will be happy to help prepare an itinerary completely tailored to your needs.
