Hello Tia and Wanda!

I wanted to send you a huge thank you for all your efforts in planning our September trip for our group of 7. During our 12 days of travel I must have heard each of my fellow travelers say, at least once , “I am so glad we had Tasteful Croatian Journeys plan our trip”! They were typically referring to the ease and effortlessness of our trip. Guides and transfers were always on time or early. Hotels and restaurants all greeted us- as if they had been waiting for us to arrive! All this made for an extremely relaxing & fun trip.

Now to my (and I think everyones) best part- Gulet Maske! You were both instrumental in helping us select the best boat charter for our small group. Gulet Maske did not disappoint. We had plenty of room for all of us to gather together or find a comfortable place for a nap, reading a book or quiet conversation. The cabins were very comfortable and I must not forget the delicious food!!! Chef Neven was outstanding -Always varying the menu and sharing traditional Mediterranean foods. Outstanding and accommodating can also be used to describe Captain Marko, Hostess Valentina and crew Carlo. From the time we arrived at the marina to board the boat until the time we gave them reluctant goodbyes, they always had our comfort and needs as their primary concern. We cannot say enough good things about the Gulet Maske and its crew!

On behalf on myself and fellow travelers “Thanks for the memories”!

Hi Tia and Wanda,

Our trip was stupendous! 

Thank you and Wanda for all you did to get us all the amazing tours, hotels and special places. We had the trip of a lifetime.

I want to particularly mention how incredibly wonderful each and every tour guide was. These tour guides and drivers were an incredible wealth of knowledge and really enhanced the trip with the historic facts and information, which added an incredible depth to the trip.

I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed Croatia and I can’t thank you and your team enough.

Thank you

Best Regards,

Wanda,

I wanted to thank you and your staff for the experience they provided in my trip last summer to Croatia. The trip was caste into an adventure by what I felt was a lifetime experience!
The many recommendations and boutique hotel properties I stayed while there made the trip both unique and a delight to see what would be next. Of course the area was beautiful and the people a delight. This added to what I consider the perfect experience.
Thank you again for your help steering through the best options, everyone in your staff made my time most delightful!

Sincerely,

Dear Wanda,

Really enjoyed staying inside the walls of the old town of Korčula. Had a great host and enjoyed several of the restaurants right on the water. Tasteful Croatian Journeys has a concierge residing in Croatia. She was wonderful to deal with, arranging for all the unusual services that we required. Thanks!

Never seen such a beautiful series of lakes and waterfalls before. Loved the colors in the water.
Had wonderful accommodations very close to the park at Fenomen Resort. Tasteful Croatian Journeys managed all the logistics of getting us from the coast to the park. Extremely helpful!

Rovinj was absolutely charming. Tasteful Croatian Journeys found us a great place to stay, the red house right on the water.
Loved being in the old town near the farmers market. Had a great guide that shared with us a lot of the history of Rovinj. Highly recommend it.

Dear Wanda,

Four of us just returned from an 8-day visit to the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia on the trip developed by Tia. What a fantastic experience! From the beginning she responded quickly to our many requests and questions, and put together an itinerary that accommodated our interests and our budgets. Tia organized private transportation and transfers, found us fantastic hotels and knowledgeable guides, and delivered experiences that we would never would have discovered on our own. A highlight was the day we sailed on a private sailboat from Korčula to the island of Mljet – we will never forget that amazing day!

Of particular note, my luggage was lost enroute to Croatia and didn’t arrive until four days later. While the local concierge Mirela had been helpful prior to the trip in making dinner reservations, etc., her true value and helpfulness was on display during this period. She stayed in contact with the airline, and provided me and the staff at our hotel with regular status updates. When the luggage finally arrived, she arranged its private transport to the hotel so it would make it with us onto our late morning ferry transfer. I can’t imagine how much more challenging this would have been without her assistance.

We love your company and will recommend it to anyone considering a trip to lovely Croatia.

Warmest,

Dear Tia, Mirela & Wanda,

Thank you so much for making a trip of a lifetime with my daughter & close friends an unforgettable, seemless experience. Everything, from your help in creating a unique itinerary with all of our specifications, the beautiful accommodations, the transportation, & the exceptional local guides that were so generous with their time, was above & beyond my expectations.

Thank you again for all the memories!

Hi Tia,

We had an amazing time!! Honestly everything went incredibly well. The concierge was absolutely fantastic and we felt very pampered throughout the trip. All of the guides were great. One that really stood out was Lea in Korcula. I would say Korcula was absolutely our favorite place we fell in love. Also we really loved the kayaking in Dubrovnik – would definitely recommend you continue to work with that guide. Please also put on the list Gelateria Emiliana in Split – it was incredible.

Dear Wanda,

Our trip with Tasteful Croatian Journeys was better than we could have imagined! Tia was fantastic at helping us design a vacation that hit on everything we could want including places and things we’d never heard of before (Korcula!! Don’t miss it!!) but ended up being our favorite. The trip was the perfect combination of everything we were looking for – relaxing but fun, getting to see everything but not feel rushed and have enough time to really get to know the places we visited. The guides they chose were amazing and knew all the places to go, shops to frequent, and restaurants for the best food. Best of all, their secret weapon is Mirela on the ground in Croatia. She is truly incredible anticipating any changes/potential speed bumps, etc and fixing them before we even noticed. For example, our weather shifted a couple of times and she noticed before we did, proactively reached out to us suggesting ways we could shift our schedule to make sure we still got to do everything we wanted, and then set about making the changes right away. She also suggested the BEST restaurants – were huge foodies and every meal we had was delicious and a great experience. We can’t wait to go back and to work with the Tasteful Croatian Journeys team again!
