Great trip with beautiful scenery and some outdoor activity. The stop in Ljubljana is too short so consider having one or two days after the tour ends to head back to Ljubljana as it is we worth a longer visit.

Our first time to Croatia and Slovenia was an eye opener to history and culture of the countries led by an excellent guide. Just be prepared for long hikes.

Our tour guide Marija was amazing. She was so knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as extremely organised. Our small group of 9 really bonded and became friends in such a short time, mostly due to Marina’s input. We would definitely recommend using Intrepid.

This was our first intrepid trip, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We felt like we got to see a lot of two amazing countries. Our leader Tamara was great! She was friendly, knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Only complaint is our hotel in Zagreb was really terrible.

Croatia and Slovenia are beautiful countries and our Intrepid tour leader Mirna provided us with genuine insight into their history and culture. She was awesome.

Intrepid is no longer about being travellers and has slipped to becoming a tourist company. Expect to pay a lot for little. There is no room to be an individual with intrepid. You will be a sheep following others. Once upon a time I would have recommended intrepid, but I can't anymore

A fabulous choice for solo travelers who want to see many locations but don’t want the hassle of handling accommodations and transfers on their own.

We had a wonderful trip in Croatia and our guides (Vojin and Ante) were very friendly, well organised, clear with instructions and both very knowledgeable about Croatia & Slovenia. We highly recommend Intrepid to any prospective travellers!

This tour was wonderful. A good mix of cities and nature. Plitvice lakes was amazing. Tamara was a wonderful, enthusiastic tour leader who made every day fun.

The trip is fantastic and covers a good portion of Croatia and all the best bits of Slovenia. Plitvice Lakes and Lake Bled are a huge highlight of the trip. The transportation is fantastic, there are a few private transfers included which make the trip a lot more comfortable and convenient to get around.

First trip with Intrepid; well communicated, well planned and well executed. Thoroughly enjoyed my tour group and the countries were absolutely lovely. I liked that we could be as sporty as we wanted or could sit at a cafe and watch the world like a local. Plitvice Lake and Lake Bled were incredible highlights. Just a great tour.

I loved this trip. We visited many beautiful places in Croatia & Slovenia, learn about this history, ate lots of delicious food & had a wonderful time. We had 2 great tour leaders Ivan & Dora. The trip was really well organised. I was lucky to also have a great group to travel with. I would highly recommend.

This was a great trip for visiting northern Croatia and Slovenia at a very reasonable price. We only had five people in our small group. I recommend adding an extra day in Bled and two days in Ljubljana at the end of the trip.
09/23/2022
This trip was so much fun! Martina, our leader’s bubbly personality, warm friendship and love for travel made this experience one I will never forget! Martina went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly so that we could experience and appreciate all this beautiful area had to offer.
09/21/2022
The trip was super well organised and we had a fantastic tour leader (Martina). I enjoyed all the stops we made. We packed a lot in but there was still time for rest which is important to me. I will remember it for a long time to come! Especially the Slovenian cream cake ??

Fantastic tour guides, fantastic locations, fantastic groups, fantastic accommodation, fantastic times. Five fantastics out of a possible five.

This was a last minute booking with intrepid travel but I had a really wonderful time! Our tour leader Frano was incredible, he took us to some amazing places, we ate really good food, and had a lot of fun! The accommodation was also really good and the trip very organised. It was a really great way to see beautiful Croatia.

We were very happy with our Intrepid tour through Croatia and Slovenia. It was well organised, we were happy with the accommodation, meals and restaurant recommendations for when we went it alone. Our tour guide was very personable, helpful, well organised, and was very informative when we had questions. We were able to do as much or as few extra activities as we felt like - all levels of activity were catered for. Our tour guide also helped us with arrangements for after we left the tour!

This is a wonderful trip in two very beautiful countries. However, I had paid for single supplement and was informed on the trip that I would be required to share accommodation for what turned out to be 29% of the entire trip. I was not informed of this by Intrepid prior to trip departure and it took the shine off the entire trip for me as a consequence.
