Review of Split’s Krka Waterfalls and Primošten day trip, with river cruise, guided park walk, beach time, practical tips, and value advice.

“Ante our guide was knowledgeable and witty. The day started promptly and the temporary WhatsApp group with GPS and links were really helpful too. Krka was a beautiful location ,just be aware there are lots of steps. Primosten was a lovely town, with beach and old town. I think timings were well planned, we had plenty of time in each stop to explore or relax”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,074 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

Review of Dubrovnik’s 3-island boat tour with lunch, drinks, music, swimming stops, pickup details, value, and practical tips.

“It was okay, the crew staff were friendly and very attentive, making sure everyone had everything they needed. Lunch was great. Jakub was fantastic, running around making sure everything was done and went smoothly, we had a great conversation with him. BUT the rest of the staff did seem to get more and more intoxicated/drunk as the day went on. For the trip itself, Lopud island with Sunj beach was beautiful. It's the longest stay of the trip, and still wasn't enough time. The other two islands weren't great, there wasn't really anything to see or do on them. They didn't contribute anything to the day. A full day tour…”
