What people love about Croatia And Italy Tours
- Rich Italy & Croatia Sailing tour(flight included) with Montenegro & Albania
Last year my family and I went on this tour and it turned out to be such a wonderful and memorable experience. The itinerary through Italy, Albania, Montenegro and Dubrovnik was so well put together and the small group size made it feel more personal and enjoyable. We were especially amazed by Albania and Montenegro, Kotor in particular was a hidden gem. It’s still untouched by heavy tourism but is clearly growing fast as a destination. Huge thanks to the guides and the team who made the trip so smooth and special for us. It’s a journey we’ll always remember.

Travel Croatia and Italy your way
Our best-selling routes blend Venice's waterways with Croatia's coastal highlights in ways that really work. Take our 9-day journey starting in Venice - you'll wind through Slovenia's Lake Bled before heading down the Croatian coast. What makes it special is how we mix guided tours with plenty of free time; you get local experts showing you around places like Rovereto's war memorials and Bled Castle, but also time to find those quiet Venice backstreets or discover your own favorite spots in Rovinj. Many travelers also love our north-bound route from Dubrovnik - it lets you explore the city walls early morning before the tourist rush and takes you to lesser-known gems like the Tesla House Museum near Plitvice Lakes.

Top Croatia and Italy travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our week-long routes between Italy and Croatia really hit the sweet spots. When you take the Rome to Dubrovnik journey, you'll join a local guide for nighttime walks through ancient streets before catching the overnight ferry - our travelers often tell us how special it is waking up to Split's harbor views. The Florence departure takes you through Split's Diocletian's Palace and along the coast to Korčula Island. We've balanced guided activities with plenty of free time; you might spend your morning in the Vatican Museums and later find yourself in a quiet Trastevere café. The social side comes alive during Split's pub crawls and Blue Lagoon sailing trips, adding fun moments between the cultural visits.
Don't miss out on visiting:
Florence, Split, Solta, Krka National Park
Ten days lets you dig deeper into both countries. From Venice, some groups head to Villa di Maser for wine tasting before moving on to Lake Bled and Croatia's coastal gems. Other routes go south through Piran with its Venetian buildings and into Istria where our travelers love joining truffle hunts and wine tastings. The inland path through Plitvice Lakes is a customer favorite - you get a full day on wooden walkways next to the falls. We usually stay 2-3 nights in major spots like Venice and Dubrovnik, giving you time to properly explore each place.

Venice, Bassano del Grappa, Rovereto, Belluno, Bled, Ljubljana, Postojna, Rovinj, Opatija, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Smiljan, Zadar, Split
See all toursTwo-week tours show you everything worth seeing in both countries. Starting in Rome, the route takes in Florence's galleries, Venice's canals and then crosses to Croatia. You'll watch glass-blowers at work in Venice and swim at quiet spots like Badija island. One of our most popular options combines a week in Italy with seven nights cruising the Adriatic - it's great how the pace shifts from city walks to lazy days at sea. Finishing in Split or Dubrovnik works well if you're thinking about adding Montenegro or Bosnia to your trip.

Demographics
Our solo travel routes through Italy and Croatia hit a sweet spot between group activities and independent exploring. The 10-day trip from Dubrovnik to Venice works really well - our solo guests tell us they love having structured time plus space to do their own thing. Tour leader Meike gets fantastic feedback, especially from first-timers who quickly feel at home with the group. There's also a popular route starting in Split that includes local market visits, walks through Diocletian's Palace and optional island trips when you want them. You'll join others for wine tastings in Ljubljana and waterfall walks in Plitvice Lakes, then get free afternoons to find your own path through Venice's quiet corners or discover a hidden café in Zagreb's old town.
Our premium tours really click with senior travelers - they're paced right and dig deep into local culture. The Venice to Split journey includes nice touches like private water taxis, expert guides through Ljubljana's historic streets and also cable car rides above Lake Bohinj. Another route explores the Istrian peninsula, staying at carefully picked hotels while mixing guided tours of Roman amphitheaters with relaxed afternoons in medieval towns. There's proper time to experience each stop, whether you're trying fresh oysters on the Dalmatian coast or watching the sun set from Motovun's ancient walls. Walking is part of each day but never too demanding - instead, you'll focus on experiences like watching truffle hunting demos and visiting family wineries.

Best time to visit Croatia and Italy
- Spring 2025
Spring is ideal for cycling the Adriatic coast, especially if you want comfortable temperatures for exploring medieval towns. A great route stretches from Trieste to Pula along quiet coastal paths where you can stop at interesting spots like the Se'covlje salt pans. Many travelers combine Venice and Croatia - starting with peaceful morning walks through Venice before the crowds fill the streets, then heading south to places like Rovinj where spring flowers add color to the old stone streets. Our customers particularly enjoy routes that mix truffle hunting in Motovun's forests with wine tasting in the Goriška Hills as the vines start their growing season.

- Summer 2025
Summer opens up fantastic water-based tours between these countries. The Zadar to Venice sailing routes let you discover hidden swimming spots in the Kvarner Gulf islands before visiting busy ports like Rovinj and also Pula. The long summer days work well for land tours too - you'll explore Split's Roman sites in the cool morning hours, swim at Sunj Beach on Lopud Island mid-day and watch the sun set over Dubrovnik's walls with a drink in hand. Many guests book tours with stays on private islands near Rovinj; it's a clever way to avoid peak season crowds while keeping easy access to mainland sites.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall brings together food, wine and perfect weather for tours connecting northern Italy with Croatia's Istrian peninsula. You can start your day at Venice's markets, spend afternoons visiting family wineries in Slovenia's Goriška region and end up in Croatia's truffle country. The food-focused tours are particularly special - you'll cook with local families in Venice, try just-harvested oysters from Lim Bay and taste wines in Motovun's historic cellars. What works really well in autumn is how cultural visits mix with harvest activities - you might help pick grapes in the morning then explore Pula's Roman amphitheater as the afternoon sun gives everything a warm glow.
