Croatia, Montenegro Vacation Review: Dubrovnik, Kotor, Private Boat Tours, 8 Nights

Our trip to Kotor, Montenegro, and Dubrovnik, Croatia, was absolutely incredible, and we have our Zicasso travel specialist to thank for making it completely seamless from start to finish.

Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from beautiful accommodations and smooth transfers to world-class tour guides and activity and restaurant recommendations that let us experience these destinations like locals.

What impressed us most was how effortless everything felt. We never had to worry about logistics, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between sightseeing, exploring on our own, and simply soaking in the beauty of the Adriatic.

Our trip with Zicasso's travel company exceeded all possible expectations! Our travel specialist paid great attention to our specific travel wish list and activity limitations due to traveling with a young child. She created an unforgettable experience. I can't recommend this travel company enough. This was one of the best trips we've ever taken and we can't wait to plan our next adventure with them!
