Have not done this trip but did the Dubrovnik and Dalmatian Coast holiday last year. This is a lovely area and visits to Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina gave a real flavour of these areas too. Issues about the hotel have been resolved with a move to a new hotel.

I am sure others who have done other Croatian trips will give their opinion.

Welcome to JY!  I've only been to Zagreb in Croatia but I did a tour of the Balkans with JY's sister company Travelsphere and loved it.  I hope to return to Croatia over the next couple of years and I have my eye on the Makarska tour.  It is one of JY's most popular tours and they have revamped the itinerary a little bit to make it even better!  Hope you book and have a brilliant time - you will be quite safe with JY and are bound to make some friends on the tour, so don't hesitate - just do it!

All the best,

Bob

I did this trip about three years ago and assume it hasn't changed much. I can definitely recommend it, Croatia is beautiful and the excursions and hotels were all very good. I went end of May and it is a good time to go, not too hot or busy but we had lovely sunshine all week. I have just come back from my fourth JY trip, I was like you and very nervous at first but you just have to jump in and you won't regret it, you are with like minded people who enjoy travelling and many will be in the same boat ass you.....

HI - my husband and I always wanted to visit Croatia but he sadly passed away before we got the chance. Ten years on I am very tempted by the Croatia and Makaska Riviera tour next May and wondered if anyone else was, or if anyone had done the tour this year and could,offer any insights. Quite nervous about travelling alone

Hi Lorraine

I went on this tour last year, also in May, I loved it ! Absolutely beautiful scenery especially the national park and on the coach trip to Dubrovnic. All the excursions were good, pretty towns and Dubrovnic is wonderful.

Both hotels were a good standard with extensive buffet meals and tables put aside for JY so that we all were able to sit together.

I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Kind regards

Ange

I love Croatia.  :)

I haven't been to the Makarska area for many years (since the days of the old Yugoslavia), but the scenery is totally stunning.  I still have it in mind to go back though.

I was on the same Dubrovnik trip as Lesley last year.  The hotel has changed, but it is a really good tour, with most of the excursions included.

May I also recommend the Istrian Coast holiday?  I've been twice with JY, and twice also in Yugoslavia days.  It's still my favourite part of Croatia. 

Croatian people are so welcoming, prices are still good for food and drinks, and it's a beautiful country.
