5/5
Just back from an incredible Croatia trip. Rebecca is so attentive and personable and she really knows all of the best spots and experiences. There were so many 'pinch me' moments during the trip that will stay with me forever. She was also very flexible and happy to adapt things to our needs. Can't really recommend highly enough!

After working up an appetite, head ashore to one of the islands' charming restaurants for a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, relax on the boat or enjoy more water activities. Returning to Dubrovnik at approximately 5pm, it's a day filled with island exploration, underwater adventures, and delightful island dining in the Adriatic's stunning setting.

Today is an early start (but coffee first!) as we take on the easy climb to the top of Mount Srd, the panoramic view is definitely worth it!
