Adriatic ExperienceReviews of adriaticexperience.com

AE planned every detail of an amazing trip for us. From unique local experiences, to extra touches, to incredible convenience, ease and no stress, they planned and implemented a dream trip for us.

Our tour director, Nina paid attention to every detail to make our Croatian experience, unique and unforgettable. My husband and I especially enjoyed our visit to Korcula. The island was so beautiful the accommodations exceptional, and the food was delicious. But we would also like to mention our personal chef whom Nina obtained for us. Sasha was not only an amazing chef, but so interesting and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this Croatian experience to friends and family!

Nina is very knowledgeable and incredibly organized. I did not have a lot of time to spend on planning the trip which was fine since Nina asked the right questions to determine what she would recommend. Everything she booked for us was perfect. I loved the daily emails letting me know where we needed to be and when along with the guide's name and phone number. She was flexible with my changes while in Slovenia and Croatia and just an absolute pleasure to work with.

Wonderful sail on the Ionian Sea! This was our 2nd time sailing with Adriatic Experience*. We were on a Lagoon 40' catamaran, which was the perfect size for our group - 5 guests and skipper and cook/crew. The skipper was an expert in every aspect of the boat. He also knew where to moor so we could enjoy swimming and quiet overnights. Meals on board were excellent. I highly recommend this company! *(Our previous sail was on the Croatian coast - also highly recommended.)

Adriatic Experience trip, coordinated by Nina, gave our family a magical week exploring the coast of Croatia. Sailboat Captain allowed us to relax and explore with his personal hints about where and what would make the best experience. Calm winds meant little sailing, but motoring got us between island efficiently. Each place had many options of adventures. Biking, wine tasting and seafood dinners were all enjoyed. We arranged tour guides at 3 stops to give us history of this region. Family agreed that 1 week was not enough to explore this region!

Nina at Adriatic Experience arranged a once-in-a-lifetime family trip, centered in Dubrovnik, the 1st week of May, 2023. Our Villa was extraordinary, our yacht trips to Korcula (for a magnificent dinner at LD Palace) and to Kotor, Montenegro were fun, and our drivers and guides all were top notch. Nina handled all the arrangements, with our input of course. Five years ago, Nina planned and executed a 3 week vacation for us and another couple through not only Croatia but the surrounding countries as well. She can do it all, with careful attention to detail both before and during the trip.

Nina & her team were wonderful to work with, from beginning to end! She helped us navigate our postponed honeymoon that was originally scheduled for June 2020 that we finally made happen in April 2023! Nina responded immediately to each & every question that we had, but more importantly she helped us design the most wonderful itinerary; Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Hvar & Split. Every driver and tour guide that we had was friendly, timely & professional. Our hotels were lovely and we appreciated all of the restaurant (& wine!) recommendations. Some highlights were the wonderful boat tour through the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro and ending our trip with an intimate chef's table dinner in Split! Croatia is such a special place, and Nina & her crew made it so easy to just relax & enjoy!

Our trip to Croatia was an unbelievable experience and Nina and her crew did an amazing job scheduling and taking care of everything and all the little things. Our flight was over 3 hours late getting in to our first pickup, and Gordon was so patient and took good care of us and got us to the hotel as soon as he could. Also was able to make up our missed tour the next day. I would probably not recommend the chef's dinner and wine pairing at the Roxanich winery and hotel. The truffle hunt in Istria was so much fun! Just so many highlights to the trip, but probably my favorite was the catamaran 3 day sale through the smaller islands of Croatia. Jurko and Mihalis tended to our every need. They were so kind and friendly and I truly hated to leave the boat. Would have loved an extra day in Split. One day wasn't enough. Our guide Nives was delightful in Split and she was so knowledgeable. Our trip was at the very end of the season in Croatia. We were at some restaurants where it was their last service of the season. In fact, one of the restaurants we had a reservation at on one of the islands, was already closed. But the crew of our boat pivoted and made us a lovely dinner on the boat. It was so appreciated. They even got us a deck of Uno cards!!!! All of the restaurant suggestions were great. We did have one dinner in Dubrovnik that was 30-45 minutes away from our hotel called the Konavoski Dvor restaurant. We were the only guests in the restaurant. It was good, but there were so many cool looking places in the old city of Dubrovnik that would have been just as good and we could have walked to it. So it was a little too far to go. I would definitely use Adriatic Experience if we were going back to the area, which I hope some day to do again.
