Reviews of Small Group tours to Croatia
- Dalmatian Islands Cruise - from Dubrovnik
The cruise was everything that we hoped for: freshly cooked meals, excellent service from the crew and so relaxing. Would recommend this tour very much so however there were a few things which could have made it perfect if altered. The smoking area on the boat was just outside the dining room and meant that if you wanted to eat outside you had to suffer cigarette smoke ( yuk!); the last day we were anchored for most of the day just outside the port of Dubrovnik . It would have been nice to have another swim stop in a quiet bay as we had done everyday and was fabulous to do. We never received a detailed personal itinerary as everyone else had which left us a little in the dark, disadvantaged and originally feeling that maybe we were duped! Lastly when we did get to read someone’s itinerary the recommended gratuities not for us but for a family say of 4 amounted to a huge extra cost. I know that they are voluntary BUT many of us commented on it and it was a really hot topic of discussion on the last day. Had we not read someone else’s itinerary we would have been totally unaware of the expectations. All in all the holiday as I have said was great and thank goodness for the air conditioning. The boat was spotless and we felt very proud to be on that boat when we came into dock each day.The islands that we visited were diverse and so interesting and in that it exceeded our expectations. It was interesting to know that in fact the tour was a Katarina tour and the rest of our holiday colleagues had actually booked through them. Hopefully we got the better deal with Tour Radar!
A+ was full so we had to downgrade to an A level ship. At first, looking at the size comparison of the two ships, I was disappointed at the size of our ship. However, I quickly learned to enjoy the ship. Ther is only a max of 20 travelers on board, so by the end of the cruise you knew everyone and were exchanging contact information. Also, because of the size, the crew gets to personally know you and your preferences. Breakfast was your basic continental but lunch was tasty and plentiful. The pricing for drinks were normal not inflated. The only downside were bunk beds and no air conditioner and the rooms were very small. However, you don't spend much time in your rooms. Despite that I would still book again. One warning, when you get into port at night, you tie up next to other boats and they can be rather noisy. If you are our age ..in our 60's... if you are young you may enjoy the loud music from other boats or your boat may be a noisy boat. Inquire on ages of passengers before booking.

Great trip! We’d never done a group tour before and were a bit apprehensive. Our group was diverse and everyone got along very well! Miles of smiles and wonderful guides made for a memorable experience.
What our customers ask about Croatia Small Group Tours
What are the typical group sizes for small group tours in Croatia?
Small group tours in Croatia keep numbers between 4-16 travelers which allows for a more relaxed pace. The smaller size means access to places like Hotel Borik in Lumbarda on Korčula Island where travelers can join local wine tastings without overwhelming the venue. Regular feedback from travelers points to the benefits of traveling with fewer people. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The small group size made the experience much more personal and allowed us to stay at boutique properties like Hotel Vis in Dubrovnik that couldn't accommodate larger groups."
How does accommodation differ on small group tours versus larger tours in Croatia?
The accommodations on small group tours focus on locally-owned properties and boutique hotels rather than large chain establishments. These include places like Hotel Velaris in Supetar on Brač Island and Hotel Borik in Lumbarda where guests get direct interaction with local hosts. The difference becomes clear through guest experiences as one TourRadar traveler noted: "Staying at the family-run Hotel Port 9 in Korčula gave us such an authentic experience - the owners treated us like family and shared local insights we wouldn't get at a large resort."
How do meal experiences differ on small group tours in Croatia?
Smaller groups can eat at local family restaurants and konobas where space is limited but the food experience is genuine. The size allows for dinner at agritourism estates in Pelješac Peninsula or private tastings at small Hvar vineyards. The personal touch makes a difference as shared by a TourRadar traveler: "Our group of 12 had an incredible dinner at a family home in Pupnat village on Korčula - something impossible with a big tour group. The hosts shared stories and local traditions while serving traditional peka."
How does transportation differ between small and large group tours in Croatia?
Small group transportation uses compact vehicles that can handle narrow village roads and reach places large buses can't access. These vehicles navigate the curves to spots like Vidova Gora on Brač Island and reach smaller harbors such as Vela Luka on Korčula. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Using a smaller vehicle meant we could take scenic coastal routes and stop at viewpoints that big tour buses had to skip."
What's the best way to get between islands on small group tours in Croatia?
Island hopping works well with small groups using a mix of private boats ferries and catamarans to reach Hvar Korčula and Brač. The smaller numbers mean groups can take scenic routes and use smaller ports. Private speedboats allow for swimming breaks in quiet bays when traveling between islands like Hvar and Korčula. A TourRadar traveler confirmed "All the meeting points accommodations and transfers were perfect."
