Dear Wanda,
As I already indicated our trip was near perfect in every detail. None the less there are two things that were a matter of our personal preference that I would consider changing. We all felt the second day in Split would have been better spent as a second day in Korcula. For us, we loved the visit to the later and would like to have had another day there.
Second, we would have eliminated the visit to Montenegro. By the end of the trip we were all traveled out and an extra day at the hotel in Dubrovnik would have been nice. The rides to and from Montenegro took a long time in and out of slow traffic. The restaurant you sent us to was lovely and served an excellent lunch but was probably not worth spending so much time in the car to go all the way to Kotor..
I say all this not as a complaint but just as a note you might consider for future travelers who don’t want to spend all that time in the car when the end result is a city that is lovely and interesting but doesn’t take long to see.
Again thanks for your assistance and we will of course recommend your services should the opportunity arise.

Dear Wanda & Team Croatia!
Thank you for following up with us and checking to be sure we had returned home safely.
We (myself, my husband and our 12 year old daughter) had a wonderful experience in Croatia, and I say “experience” rather than trip because I felt like we were much more immersed than we would normally be in an area thanks to our wonderful drivers and tour guides.
Every person we interacted with was so personable and friendly and did not hesitate to answer our many questions. They were also very good to point out sights or supply facts that were interesting to us as tourists in general and also Americans. Who knew we’d have to travel all the way to Croatia to find out from our driver in Split that our own USA White House is made from stone from that area of the Dalmatian Coast?
Another thing we all three enjoyed was talking NBA basketball with our drivers and tour guides, several of whom were OKC Thunder fans.
I also want to say how more than punctual each driver and tour guide was. They always arrived early which was a great peace of mind to me.
We enjoyed each location we stayed (Zagreb, Split, Korcula, and Dubrovnik), each of which had it’s own unique vibe and personality and therefore did not feel repetitious.
My 12 year old daughter’s favorite hotel was the Lesic Dimitri Palace in Korcula because of it’s “awesome bathtub (China room)”, the cat that frequented our terrace and the hotel’s location across from the Boya crayons store which she fell in love with (www.boyacrayons.com). My daughter also enjoyed taking a semi-underwater submarine ride in Dubrovnik and shopping in the open markets in Zagreb and Dubrovnik.
If I could do anything differently I would want to spend at least one night in Kotor, Montenegro in order to see more of the town and be able to walk the wall above the city.
Our day trip was really fun but not nearly long enough. I’d also like to spend more time in Split which I enjoyed more than I thought I would. But this only gives us an excuse to return.
I also want to say “THANK YOU” to Iva, Wanda’s Tasteful Croatian Journeys Concierge,for just being there and available to us. She helped me find the closest laundromat to our hotel in Dubrovnik and also figured out how to check in for our flight on Croatia Airlines (she actually called Croatia Airlines and figured out that I and our hotel were both using a web browser that did not fully support the Croatia Airlines website). Just knowing she was there and available to us made me feel much better and more relaxed.
And also a big “THANK YOU” to Wanda and her team for creating our wonderful Croatian experience from start to finish. We appreciated your hotel selections (which were exactly the kinds of hotels we enjoy), your restaurant suggestions in each location and your very detailed itinerary and location information.
Your attention to detail resulted in our being able to concentrate more on fun activities rather than having to make decisions about where to eat, arranging transportation, etc.
We would definitely use Wanda’s Tasteful Croatian Journeys again ourselves and I highly recommend them to any persons considering a trip to this area.
Thanks again!

Dear Wanda,
I am writing to share with you my sincerest “Thank You” for making our first visit to Croatia one that we will never forget. With this trip being one to celebrate both mine and my wife’s 40th birthdays, I wanted this to be as close to perfect as possible. You exceeded that expectation by a long shot. From the personal interview process to the final, detailed calendar of events, you ensured our trip was perfectly customized for our needs.
The concierge service was amazing – they frequently checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and to ensure all facets were meeting our expectations.
Iva in particular was quite attentive to our needs as we made ad hoc changes to our itinerary.
Should I encounter anyone wishing to travel to Croatia, you will receive my highest recommendation. Thank you for helping us make such amazing memories!
