On your way to Croatia’s capital, pass through Slovenia’s Alpine region and stop in the magical town of Bled. You will find yourself nestled next to a lake plucked straight out of a fairytale.

Of course, you will enjoy a traditional Pletna boat ride to reach the small island church. Afterward, explore Bled Castle, perched high above the water, with your private guide. You will also have the chance to partake in outdoor activities, such as a walk around scenic Lake Bled and the surrounding town. Finally, enjoy a slice of the famous Bled cream cake before continuing onward toward Croatia.

You will eventually arrive in Zagreb, Croatia’s lively capital, and your luxury home-away-from-home at Esplanade Zagreb Hotel.

Your first experience of luxury tours of Croatia begins with coffee at one of the city’s historic cafés. Then walk through the Upper Town and visit St. Mark’s Church, followed by leisure time amid the local markets, parks, and museums.

This blend of Alpine beauty and city culture highlights the best of Slovenia while smoothly transitioning into Croatia.

Continue south toward Split, first stopping en route at one of Croatia’s must-see destinations: Plitvice Lakes National Park. Here, your local guide will lead you through its beautiful waterfalls and untouched nature.

Finally, arrive in Split for a restful overnight at Hotel Park Split. The next day, meet your private guide for a tour of Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through ancient Roman corridors that now house cafés and shops.

During your stay, you will also venture beyond the city on a private cruise to Hvar Island. On your day trip to the island, swim in the Adriatic Sea and visit small villages surrounded by lavender fields. In addition, enjoy a food and wine tasting featuring regional specialties as well as a traditional Dalmatian lunch.

As a result, this portion of your Croatia and Slovenia tour package adds seaside contrast to inland discoveries.

Finally, travel to Dubrovnik, often called the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” Perhaps even stop for a taste of the famous oysters in Ston along the way.

Upon arrival, settle into Excelsior Hotel, your hotel overlooking the sea. Then begin exploring the Old Town with your guide.

Walk along the medieval city walls for panoramic views and visit the Rector’s Palace and Franciscan Monastery. Then ride the cable car to Mount Srđ for sweeping vistas over the red rooftops and coastline.

In addition, take a private boat excursion to the Elaphiti Islands for a full day at sea. Swim in quiet emerald waters, relax on secluded beaches, and explore villages shaded by olive and cypress trees.

This final chapter completes your tours to Slovenia and Croatia with coastal elegance and relaxed exploration.
