Croatia Vacation Review: Dubrovnik, Rovinj, Wine Tour, 9-Day Trip

The trip was fantastic. The hotels were magical. We had drivers who were there and informative, and excellent excursions. I have no complaints and cannot tell you how much effort this saved me. (I have traveled quite a bit, but typically did the arrangements myself). Zicasso's travel designer was great. I would use them again without question.
