Dear Paula Fertik,

Thank you! We are not too happy to be home and back to reality…

Croatia was fabulous! The country is beautiful, the people are so friendly, and we had an amazing time. Thank you and your team for putting together such an excellent trip. Every detail was accounted for, which made it even more special.

A couple of notes we have:
All the tour guides were wonderful – knowledgeable and personable. The 2 hour tours were just the right amount of time to get a taste of the city and learn about its history.

The bike tour was great! We had a wonderful day with the guide and saw the countryside firsthand.

The speedboat was so much fun! We had a great time with the Skipper, and he was able to show us some beautiful private spots/islands to stop and swim.

The drivers were all very professional. Almost all of them spoke English, and were able to tell us a bit about the trip as we were traveling. We had 1 driver who couldn’t speak English, so that drive was not as interesting.
There was also 1 driver who was trying to “entertain” us, which got tiring.

Plitvice Lakes is unbelievable – highly recommend it for your other clients. The hotel was phenomenal and we were sorry to leave!

Zagreb was a bit of a letdown after Plitvice Lakes, and we would have preferred staying in a more updated hotel. The Palace was very dated. It was not of the same caliber as our other accommodations during the trip.

The cooking class was lots of fun and we had a good day with the chef.

If we were to do the trip again, we both think that starting in Zagreb and finishing in Dubrovnik would make more sense. It would have been nice to have been able to relax at the sea for the last day or 2 of the trip.

All in all, it was one of our best trips ever and we thank you all so much!

I had been referred to Wanda Radetti by a colleague of mine at PROTRAVEL.  What a pleasure it was to work with Wanda with a proposed itinerary for two clients travelling during peak season (August).

I was impressed right from the start with the speed of the replies to my query, I then was so amazed by the very personal touch.

Wanda had myself and the client on a conference call for an hour discussing their itinerary in incredible detail. This saved so much time with my going back and forth to Wanda and my client. I certainly didn’t know Croatia to make even half of the suggestions that were made and quickly taken up.

The whole team has incredible knowledge and make great suggestions to enhance the trip/experience.

Then to top it off the trip documents are extremely comprehensive and with more information than you would’ve thought possible!

All in all a wonderful experience and would not hesitate to call Wanda again for my next Croatian clients.

Sincerely,

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Visit Croatia  a couple of times now.

They are a team of true professionals who are extremely passionate and knowledgeable about Croatia and its region. 

I’ve been working as a travel consultant for 35 years and have learned over the years that there is no such thing as a request for “too much information “.  I’ve heard many tour operators and DMCs comment on the fact that most travel agents don’t spend enough time talking to their clients trying to get an understanding of what they really want and/or expect.  Wanda cuts to the chase and asks if it would be ok to have a conference call with the client.  Turns out that these calls help fulfill both Wanda and her team as well as the agent AND the client.  Everyone comes away with much more confidence as the planning begins.

The Croatia Concierge team is extremely helpful with changes, suggestions, recommendations.  They know the destination and each individual hotel really well – right down to rooms.  They create incredible trips from start to finish.  They take great pride in all they do.  A true professional organization with lovely people to work with.

I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Hello Wanda,

We heard from our clients who were extremely happy with all the arrangements we made for them. The trip would not have been a success without your help. We have already told all my associates at the office that if they need help with deluxe arrangements in Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia, you are the queen.

Thanks again,

Dear Wanda,
My celebrity clients were star-struck by the arrangements Tasteful Croatian Journeys made for them on their recent trip to Croatia and Montenegro. From start to finish the arrangements were fabulous and flawless—from the deluxe hotels, car/drivers with knowledgeable guides, restaurant suggestions and the private plane and yacht charter. Mille Grazie. You have made me a STAR!

With best wishes for your continued success,
