Value for money this is the best company, considering we traveled with kids and my mother in law it can be quite expensive to do a trip to the islands from Split however this tour was just perfect. The boat to be honest looked the most luxurious of all the ones around us, you have the choice to either be on the top on the sunbeds or sitting, my advise if go early and choose wisely as once is allocated you cannot swap! the crew is really friendly and the food served which included lunch was actually…”

“We had an enjoyable time swimming in the beautiful sea. However, the price we paid was far too much for what we got, and what is stated to be included in the trip is untrue.. there was no onboard commentary, no fresh fruit served on the boat, the drink was a very weak lemon squash or a shot of a very strong spirit if you wanted, there were no snorkels provided. We asked for snorkels and one of the crew ran around looking for some and finally handed us some dirty ones found in the boat which had not been cleaned. The food was not great. I would recommend for…”

“La excursión está bien pero hay cosas que saber antes de apuntarte. 1. No vas en ferry directo a Trogir, hace un par de paradas antes. 2. En Split, te recogen en el ferry-bus que usa quién quiera ir a Trogir. Nosotros casi nos quedamos en tierra porque el GPS nos dio una localización incorrecta. Encontramos al grupo del tour Bura Line con el guía de milagro!! 3. En Trogir hay que cambiar de Ferry, es decir hay que hacer transbordo. 4. Las bebidas son refrescos, pero hay que estar muy pendiente porque con tanta gente (150 personas) y el calor que hace , duran poco y vuelven a sacar…”

Bruno drives you from Split to Krka National Park, where you explore the waterfalls at your own pace. Afterward, visit Mateo’s family winery in Plastovo for three wines, homemade food, vineyard views, and a warm taste of rural Croatia.

“This trip was amazing, highly recommend! Bruno was an awesome tour guide— picked us up at our Airbnb on time, drove us to krka national park while chatting with us about the history of Croatia and answered all of our questions, and even gave us tips about the park. Once in the park, we had about two hours to explore which was awesome. After the park, we went to a winery owned by Mateo who was absolutely lovely. He gave us wine tastings, walked us around the vineyard, and told us about the history of the winery. Best tour we’ve done in Croatia— cannot recommend more!!”
