Dear Maya,
I just wanted to thank you again for setting up my Croatia tour. It was wonderful. I loved the country and people. The history was fascinating, the landscape spectacular. And wonderful food and wine. Lots of great photos and memories.
Everything went according to plan down to the last detail. And you delivered on all that you promised. I will most certainly recommend you if any friends or colleagues consider a Croatia trip. I am happy to provide specific feedback on any aspect of the trip if that would be helpful for you.
Thanks again.

Hi Filip
We arrived back late last night and wanted to let you know we had a fantastic trip. Your suggestions for activities, accommodations and sights were perfect. In hindsight, i think the itinerary was the perfect way to see a good orientation to your beautiful country. Thank you for all of your efforts. It was an amazing vacation.
I thought you might be interested in getting some feedback on some of the specifics of our experience for use with future travelers. As I mentioned, ALL of the connections and logistical
considerations were executed flawlessly.
The Hotel Astoria in Zagreb is nicely newly renovated and is located within walking distance to everything. The front desk staff were great, especially when I needed some assistance with delayed luggage.
A half day in Zagreb was perfect for getting a feel for the city and resting after the long flights. We were all rested and ready to go when the driver picked us up the following morning.
Plitvice Lakes was lovely and I am very glad we asked to make it part of our itinerary. I must have taken 200 photos there alone. The drive from there to Split was about 3.5 hours and we were settled in the Hotel Park by 7:00. Enough time to unpack, enjoy a drink outside and walk down to the Riva for dinner.
The Hotel Park's rooms are fine; clean and functional. It looks like a recent investment in the lawn and patio area outside the hotel was a wise investment. It is a beautiful setting for a pre and after dinner drink as well as breakfast.
Choosing an evening walking tour in both Split and Dubrovnik were the right choices. The weather was very very hot and I don't think we would have been able to enjoy the tour in the heat of the afternoon. The evening walking tour also gave us the chance to scope out places for drinks and dinner afterwards.
Hvar was magical and I think I could retire there tomorrow. I am also thrilled we switched from the Hotel Riva to the Amfora. The Riva has more intimate charm that the Amfora but the use of the pool and the beach at the Amfora were ideal. It was nice to be able to get away from the
hassle and bustle of the marina area too. The strolls to and from the hotel for dinner were easy and very pleasant.
The hike and sailing trip were FANTASTIC. We were lucky to have a cloudy day for the hike which made the six hour hike more pleasurable. Our guide Vese (I think) was a delight and their whole operation seemed great.
The sailing trip to Vis was also a ton of fun. Our skipper Ricardo was good fun and the sights and luncheon were truly memorable. He even extended out day and took us to a beach club called carpe diem beach club and then dropped us off at our hotel. A great great day.
The 6:30 a.m. ferry from Hvar to Split came early but we were glad we did it because it allowed us to arrive in Dubrovnik around lunch time. We met up with the guide for another evening city tour followed by dinner. She was very good. (Have I mentioned we drank and ate a lot?). We wrapped up the tour with a guided tour around the walls then drinks and dinner in a
square.
We spoke with Mariana twice while in Dubrovnik. She was very very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I am glad you provided us with a local contact. She also adjusted our transfer time to the Dubrovnik airport on the last day to allow us to get a bit of extra sleep.
Sorry for the long email, but wanted to give you my thoughts before I forget them. As I said, it was a super trip and your work on our itinerary and the seemingly thousands of small logistical details ensured a care-free and very memorable trip. I will be thrilled to recommend you and Jauntee to others who are considering a Croatia trip.
All the best and thanks.

Dear Maya,
We are home and we had a wonderful trip. All the transfers and tours that you arranged for us went smoothly. The drivers and guides were on time or early, we had no problems at all.
It was a very busy trip. I signed us up for almost all the shore excursions. The ports were beautiful, the people very friendly and the weather was perfect. Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro were as pretty as the postcards.
Thank you for all your help. I would certainly recommend your agency to anyone traveling to Croatia.

Hi Filip,
We recently returned from our European trip including the week we booked through you in Croatia. We want to thank you very much for all the arrangements - they were excellent. The schedule worked well, the hotels were great and the drivers and guides were both friendly and knowledgeable. We loved Croatia, particularly Dubrovnik and the Plitivice Lakes.
Thank you once again,
Regards,

I just wanted to say “thanks, Maya” for all the preparation you did for our “Admiral Jimmy trip” to Croatia. We had a wonderful time---made so much better by your fantastic travel connections and hotels. Every transfer was “on time” or there before the stated time, each hotel was delightful, and, though the trip over and back is exhausting, all flight connections were made. We almost missed the Croatian Air flight on the way over due to a two hour delay in Washington/Dulles but when we arrived in Frankfort, the airlines folks met us as we left the plane, took us by bus to the Croatian Air check-in, got boarding passes and took us back to the steps of the plane for the flight to Split. All told, we were in Frankford less than 30 minutes and the airplane left the ground ten minutes after we boarded. But luggage made it all the way and back. We had a great sail and loved your native land, particularly the islands we saw which included Solta, St. Klement, Korcula, Vis, Sipan, and some others. Again---thank you for a very memorable vacation.

Dear Filip,
I wanted to let you know that the Mediterranean Society's trip to Croatia was a great success! Our flights to and from Croatia were uneventful and we arrived on time with our luggage. The hotels you chose for us were excellent. They were all in good locations and the rooms were nice. We especially liked the Hotel Niko in Zadar (our favorite), the Hotel Fontana in Trogir and the Hotel Scaletta in Pula. The food at the hotels ranged from good to excellent. The 40 passenger bus was very comfortable for traveling and the large windows in the bus were especially good for viewing the spectacular scenery and taking pictures. Our guide in Croatia, Branka, and our bus driver, Djani, are both wonderful and contributed greatly to the success of our trip. Branka is a very organized and caring person. She made sure that everything on the trip went smoothly. She would call to make sure the local guides were waiting when we arrived at our destinations and that the hotels were ready for us. She took care of any problems or issues immediately. On our bus rides, she would comment on the parts of the country we passed through and she even taught us some Croatian. She is a joy to work with. Thank you so much for choosing Branka to be our guide. She really made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Our bus driver, Djani, is also excellent. He is a good driver and was very helpful to some of the older people on the trip who needed assistance. Branka and Djani are a good team. Thank you for planning such a great trip!

Dear all at Jauntee -- We would just like to thank you for organizing an amazing private tour of Croatia for us. Our driver Zlatko and our guide Mariana showed us the best of Croatia in a very unique way. Zlatko is an excellent driver and he took us to the so many charming places where most tourist never get the change to go. We've tasted the authentic Croatian specialties, had the access to the finest local dining, great boutique shops, galleries and great night life. We are so grateful to you that you arranged for them to stay with us throughout the entire trip. My favorite was the island tour of Hvar with a boat ride to Vis and the blue caves in Bisevo. I will never forget Croatia and will recommend it to friends and family, as well as travel services of Jauntee. Thank you!

Hi Filip. We have just returned from our cruise aboard the ms Monet and our week in Venice. I wanted to thank you for all your assistance in pulling together our arrangements. The Monet was wonderful; the crew was fabulous; we wanted for nothing. Croatia is absolutely lovely, and the Croatian people are warm and welcoming. We would highly recommend the trip.

My fiancé and I have been planning our honeymoon in Croatia with the help of Maya, one of your staff. Throughout the process she has been tremendously helpful, and we were particularly impressed with her attention to exactly what we wanted. In any case, since Maya's work for us was exceptional, I thought I'd let you know. We'll definitely be recommending Jauntee to friends of ours who might also be making the trip to Croatia.

Our cruise along the Dalmatian Coast on m/s Monet was fabulous. All the information that you had given us made everything so simple. Traveling to a foreign country for the first time can be a bit overwhelming and scary. Croatia was a wonderful choice. Thank you. We highly recommend this cruise to anyone wishing to experience this beautiful country. M/s Monet is a smaller ship, but the cabins are very spacious and tastefully decorated. The service and food were great. We had taken almost all of the excursions. The guides were very knowledgeable and they spoke excellent English. We were also pleasantly surprised that everyone spoke very good English in Croatia. The Adriatic coast is amazing, and the people are very friendly. We will definitely go back again on one of your private tours.

We can't thank you enough for making our honeymoon a blissful event. Everything was crafted thoughtfully to the last detail. We loved our authentic Dalmatian Villa in Dubrovnik. Thank you for the delicious wine and lavender.
