“Over the years, we’ve learned that the best travel experiences usually have a few things in common: they’re well run, genuinely pretty informative, and considerate of real-world travelers; especially families. The tours and activities featured here were selected with those ideas in mind. We looked for experiences that balance education, scenery, local insight, and convenience, while still leaving enough room for a little spontaneity and wonder, that’s why we booked them and would book again!
Because sometimes the best part of a trip is learning something new while your kids ask if there’s sladoled nearby.” - DJ MOE
Should you find yourself on beautiful Otok Korčula, do yourself a favor and get yourself a guided tour of Old Town Korčula. The sights alone are worth it, add in some history and the whole place takes on a new life. This tour is similar to the one we took, we brought the kids on this one, we asked the tour guide if it was possible to make it a little more kid friendly to keep them engaged, and the tour guide obliged. Making sure to ask what they thought of what we were seeing, adding in fun tidbits kids appreciate and pointing out restrooms should the need arise. Check out a walking tour for yourself, Korčula is an amazing place.
This little adventure was something we have been wanting to do for a while. Everytime we walked Old Town Korčula, we always saw these water taxies coming and going. We finally asked and found that their cost wasn’t crazy and we got some nice bang for our buck with this 3 island jaunt about. What a wonderful time, kids had a blast, we got to see more neighboring islands than we could’ve done on our own; it was a fun experience over all.
We like the walking tours apparently. This was a fun one, we have been to Dubrovnik a few times and decided that we needed to see the city the way it needs to be seen; with an understanding of where it came from, its roots. We love this city for its beauty and scenic backdrops, but once you hear the stories in front of the buildings, walking the streets and traversing these ancient walkways, it’s one of the best ways to take in Dubrovnik.
We chose this tour because we have already walked the walls on a separate trip, but if thats on your list, those tours are out there too!
This was a really fun experience. We left the kiddos with the grandparents for the night and snuck out for a ghostly night on the town with Marija’s Ghosts and Mysteries Walking Tour. We read up on this one to make sure we had good shoes for walking while we braved the night. We met up at a central meeting location, Marija was ready and waiting, garbed in all black, with her signature lantern. From the scenery, the rich history, Marija’s story delivery; this tour really made you start looking behind you and wondering where that sound came from. Marija guided the group to all the choice sights and really took us to another world. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend this one. If you like spookier tales and want to try something different on your trip to Dubrovnik, look no further, this is it!
Wow, this was a fun tour. When we can, we try and book with our kids in mind, but by no means was this a kids tour. The tour guid made sure to keep a nice balance, he made sure to keep the kids involved and did a great job holding the adults attention too. I have to say, this tour was fun, educational and was a good outing for the whole family. I would highly recommend this one.
This is a new one for us. This will be our second attempt to see Plitvice Lakes, we had a surprise ankle injury right before we were supposed to make our way to the National Park last time, we instead opted to take it easy and not push ourselves. Needless to say we are excited to see what Plitvice has in store for us this time around. Over the years, I have seen so many pictures, read so many articles and we cant wait to check this one out first hand. I will be sure and follow up, but this is the company we opted to use, fair price with the park ticket included, not to mention a bus ride from Zagreb. Super good deal.
