The trip constructed by Adriatic Experience was lovely down to the final detail. The team of Nina and Barbara were in just the right amount of touch with us throughout and we always felt well informed. The venues and hotels were well thought out, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and we came home feeling as though we had experienced something magical.

Just returned from an amazing week at villa Folie a Deux in Duboka Bay. Firstly, communication from the very start was brilliant. Both Nina and Martina responded to emails promptly and answered all our many questions! We decided to get to Brac on the ferry. The taxi meet us at Split airport, straight on to 50 minute ferry, then taxi (via Lidl in Supetar) to the villa. Martina was there to meet us and showed us around the lovely villa, which feels more like a home. She gave us lots of info on the area, transport, food etc and was on hand for the whole time to help with anything. Always friendly, always efficient. It felt like having a local friend that you could just text with silly questions! The villa is very spacious and spread over 3 floors (lots of stairs!) The kitchen is extremely well equipped, we found everything we needed as we ate in a lot. Everything is spotless and the towels provided were lovely and plentiful. The pool area is lovely although we spent very little time there as the AMAZING sea is a stones throw away! We loved the swimming platform, which is quite large compared to others around, with enough room for all 8 of us. The water is incredible and the bay itself is quiet, breathtaking and unique. We spent hours in the water using the paddle board and kayak that belong to the villa. We also hired a double kayak, arranged by Martina. It wasn’t cheap, but worth it as there is exploring to be done! I would say that getting in and out of the water would be a bit tricky for young kids or anyone with limited mobility, but I know Nina is looking into possibly getting a ladder. We ate all our meals on the outdoor table, which is shady and cool when it’s hot! We didn’t hire a car, but Martina arranged for taxis whenever we need to into Milna (10 min drive and about £12.50 each way) to buy supplies, have a stroll and an ice cream or have a meal. Milna is quiet, lots of amazing boats and a chilled vibe. There are small grocery stores, great bakery and we managed to get all we needed. There is no air con in the villa and we did get hot. The fans provided as a God send. Unfortunately, there were quite a few mosquitos around this summer, which I believe is unusual, so we couldn’t really open up windows etc, but that’s just one of those things. It certainly didn’t stop us having the most wonderful time and I think we are all spoilt for life! A boat trip is a must! We hired a private boat that picked us up from the villa. It’s all so stunning. Recommend highly. __________________________________________________________

Had a great time with Adriatic Experience. It was a once in a lifetime trip with many unique experiences that we would have never found on our own. Each activity was engaging and then transitioned smoothly to the next one. Our group always knew what we were doing next and that was very reassuring being so far from home.

Seamless transitions at each stage created a sense of security. Each guide was personable and knowledgeable. Nina crafted the activities to match our collective interests - no small task considering our ages, prairie origins and our 10 different personalities. Our skipper Jurko responded to our desires to swim in quiet lagoons, jump off cliffs. Ivana culinary skills created onboard meals and snacks that matched our wants. This was an experience to be cherished - our 50th anniversary with our 4 kids and their spouses.

Our family has been traveling around the world for over 7 months, and our time sailing with Adriatic experience was undoubtedly one of the best experiences we have had anywhere! Nina was meticulous in the pre-trip planning. Her customer service is truly unparalleled. Because we were traveling during the shoulder season we didn't have to be quite as prepared as guests in mid-summer. However, I would trust her to make sure we had a smooth, perfectly planned itinerary even during the busiest weeks of the summer. Our crew, Jerko and Ivona were also incredible. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I already miss Ivona's cooking. (She even catered to our extremely picky 9 year old daughter.) We will return! It was too good not too.

Adriatic Experience planned a wonderful trip to Croatia for my daughter and me in 2017 which included hotels, transportation from/to the airport and between the mainland and the islands, tour guides and tours and last but not least a fantastic dinner on the island of Korcula. Customer Service was top notch not only before but during our trip. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.

great day on the water

Working with Adriatic Experience was so easy and everything was wonderful! They were always one step ahead of us confirming reservations and solving any potential problems before they could happen. Best travel company I’ve ever used!
