Ellen & David Morrison, September 2013

Hi Wanda!

David and I are back (unpacked and laundry done).  We wanted to thank you for putting together a great trip.  My favorite moments:  arriving to our hotel dock in Venice in a private vaparetto, showering at the Vestibule Hotel while being seranaded by a capella singers performing in the vestibule, our Diocletian Palace tour and the quiet that descends on the palace at night, having breakfast by the water in Korchula with a napping cat on my lap, walking the walls in Dubrovnik at 8am all alone….  I could go on.  We had a wonderful time.  Thank you and your team for the seamless transfers and wonderful hotel selections.

Hi Wanda!

So sorry it has taken me so long to write. We absolutely loved our trip to Croatia. You made the perfect choices for hotels, restaurants etc. The only feedback I would have that would be a little negative was the winery we went to Oberic. While it was nice, and the wines are made by a Croatian wine maker, we felt that the winery felt very American and a bit inauthentic. We really enjoyed the winery in Korcula though and would highly recommend an experience there! Thank you again for everything!

Wanda and Iva,

My wife, Susan and I wanted to thank you both wholeheartedly for such a wonderful trip to Croatia!  We had a fabulous time and the entire experience surpassed our expectations!

In terms of feedback, we enjoyed all of the hotels and in particular the Arabian Suite at the Lesic Dimitri Palace, and our room number 316 at the Villa Dubrovnik, which looked out over the water to the old town part of Dubrovnik. 

All of the drivers were absolutely fantastic!

In terms of restaurants, you might consider checking out a restaurant in Dubrovnik called Lady Pipi, which is located near the Bouza Gate.  Several locals told us about it and we cancelled our dinner reservation one night during our stay and had dinner there and it was excellent French Bistro type food.  The one drawback is that they do not take reservations and they are known to usually have people waiting for a table, although we were lucky and only had to wait a minute or two.

The only slight negative we can think of would be to some extent the Captain of the charter boat.   He did nothing wrong, but when compared to, for example, the level of service we received from our various drivers, he simply was not near their league.  For example, he was on his cell phone a lot and his helper was his girlfriend and he didn’t really speak much English.  Also, they seem to be surprised when we asked for some towels for swimming.  Again, I want to stress that they were perfectly nice, but again, just not up to the level of service provided by your drivers.

Iva, as a small token of gratitude for your services, we will be sending along a gratuity.

Many thanks again to both of you and if we have any friends or other contacts that are thinking of visiting Croatia we will definitely send them your way.

Best regards,

Wanda Radetti and her associates are simply incredible. I had made a last-minute decision to schedule a short trip to Croatia for three of us during an upcoming trip to Munich. With only four days’ notice before our departure, Wanda listened and learned about our interests, gave wonderful guidance, and flawlessly planned a 5-day trip to Split, Korcula and Dubrovnik. She was well within our budget; hotels, drivers and guides, travel arrangements were all wonderful. The local support from Iva was a very special plus. Wanda’s knowledge and support, combined with her obvious passion for this beautiful country, made this a very special trip. I’ll be planning another, longer trip to Croatia this coming September and will most definitely ask Wanda to work her magic again!
