Hello Tia,

The trip was awesome. The accommodations are all stellar. Would definitely want to stay in them again if we return to Croatia.

Among our guides, Lea in Split was an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Leia in Korcula was extremely knowledgable, but not quite as personable as Lea. Nikola in Dubrovnik was knowledgable but appeared to be suffering from end of the season burnout. I think he just wanted it to be over. Mislav, who guided our bike tour though the Konavle Valley, was excellent. We really enjoyed him. Please forgive me, but the name of the lady who guided us through Krka national park escapes me. With that said, we very much enjoyed her.

The restaurants were all good to excellent. One item of note would be ZOI. If anybody asked me whether they should go to ZOI, I would tell the at the food is generally good but the portion size is laughably small (which is inversely proportional to the prices). We would not go back there, but would go back to all of the others. We especially enjoyed Kanoba Aterina, Lola Wine Bar, and Dubravka 1836.

The boats and their crews were also excellent.

Sorry I do not have time for a call and a huge THANK YOU to one and all at Tasteful Croatian Journeys for an amazing trip.
