Croatia Family Trip Review: Split, Speedboat Ride, Water Polo, History, Local Cuisine, 9 Days

Our family of five absolutely adored our trip to Croatia and attribute so much of our positive experience to the amazing planning and responsiveness of Zicasso's travel specialist and the people she lined up.

Not only were our scheduled activities seamless, but whenever we experienced any hiccups, she dealt with every one of them to alleviate any extra stress.

After missing our connecting flight, she was great about staying in contact with our hotel and having everything ready when we rolled in at midnight. When she learned of our interest in Croatian water polo, she contacted the club to get access and they had a gift bag waiting for us.

Every tour was fantastic. The tour guides the travel specialist works with were so knowledgeable and adaptable to varying attention spans and ages. Our drivers were also full of knowledge and taught us so much about the geography, history, and culture of Croatia. We highly recommend this company.
