Editor’s Take
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.
Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Travelers to the Dalmatian Coast are looking to experience culture, history, and adventure. They are expecting a very personal experience with a unique and in-depth tour of the region.
Positive Dalmatian Coast reviews highlight how the tour itineraries include many exciting activities to showcase the region. The day trips to Hvar, walking tours in Split, and coastal excursions have a large impact on the over all experience. The scenery is also a major role player in travelers’ reviews. Praise for the beautiful coastline, mountain roads, and teal lakes are calling travelers to return to the region.
Local guides are an integral part of guided tours in the Dalmatian Coast. The ability of the tour guide to connect you to the historical and modern Croatia is major treat for these tours.
Unfavorable reviews may come from travelers’ expectations of comfort in travel or weather in Dalmatia. Croatia has a very mild climate, but during the winter months it can be rainy and colder so taking into account what time of year you travel may be important.
Many of the tours are targeted for the active traveler. These itineraries include long hikes or days spent on your feet. It’s important to remember when researching a particular company what destinations and activities they offer. If you have difficulties being on your feet for long periods of time, it may be helpful to seek a tour company that has a more relaxed route.
Many travelers may be looking for a specific age demographic when traveling. Travelers may wish to travel with others you have similar life experience and are of the same age so they can converse. Visitors who may not have been able to experience that may have found the trip lacking in companionship.
If you are looking for a specific itinerary, activity level, or age group, it is important to double check each tour company. Some of the tours include themes that are targeted to certain groups or experience levels of travelers.
Researching unique activities in the Dalmatian Coast can provide a traveler with life changing experience. Tours that include personalized homestays or stops in Bosnia and Slovenia are a hit amongst travelers because they provide a different view of Balkan life besides the usual.
For travelers with a limited time to travel, the shorter, Croatia-only tours may be the best option. These tours created to immerse a visitor into the life and history of the Dalmatian Coast. Days are full of activities and each day provides a new destination. If you have a wider window to see more, the longer tours that include other parts of Croatia or other countries would be a great option to learn more about the beautiful and historic region of the Balkans.
