I contacted Sarah after watching her YouTube videos as I was after a family friendly week in Croatia and her videos inspired me to visit Croatia with my family under the current situation..she was extremely responsive and put together a custom plan within a few days. Flights were booked by me but she helped with airport transfers, transfers to ferry, ferry tickets , hotel reservations, Krka parc visit with tickets,walking tours, travel advice on which beach to go with kids, ideas for city tours and she’s constantly available for you while you are in Croatia! The transfer vehicles were comfy Mercedes vans(always) and had car seats for my kids so I didn’t have to bring them along with me. We did Split-Korcula-Dubrovnik but she can customize it to your preferences.. I would spend more time in Korcula and possibly add Mljet and spend less time in Split.. the lake National park if done with kids i recommend going early at 7:30 or 8 when the park opens as it’s boiling hot by mid day and the lil ones are fried and not interested in the sights by noon at all.. in fact we are already considering a trip back and spending an entire week in Korcula/Mljet with transfers from Dubrovnik ! PS: Sarah is also extremely responsive ; on one occasion the driver forgot the car seats and I just messaged her that the kids got a bit car sick and voila on the return trip from Krka the car seats were ready for us after we finished our park visit !! I had also reached out to Kim Kim and found their quotation overpriced and inflexible as opposed to Sarah who really understood our needs as a family !!! Kudos !! Thanks for making us fall in love with Croatia and Hrvatski.. hvala,bok bok

I cannot say enough about Royal Croatian Tours and the attentiveness of Sarah and Ivan. We started planning our two week trip back in February, 2022 for a July trip. From the very moment I reached out, Sarah was extremely responsive and worked with my husband and me to modify based on budget and interests to compose the perfect itinerary. We just got home a few days ago and I didn’t want to waste any time praising this company. Every aspect of this trip was excellent. We had told Sarah that we prioritized location over hotel stars and she couldn’t h e captured that better! We were in the center of everything and most of our views were amazing. The activities that were set up were also perfect. We kayaked and biked and hiked and even got in a little snorkeling. At the last minute, I wasn’t feeling well the day before our bike tour, so she arranged an ebike which made the whole experience doable for me. All transfers were prompt and with drivers who didn’t just drive but also were extremely friendly, and knowledgeable about the country. All Airbnb hosts were incredibly welcoming and the places were all clean and modern and just lovely. Sarah and Ivan were available whenever we needed them and everything went amazingly well. This was a trip of a lifetime and so much of that was due to Sarah and Ivan’s advanced preparation of everything!!

Sarah and Ivan created the perfect father daughter 2 week Croatian adventure. We reached out to Royal Croatian Tours after watching their YouTube videos less than three weeks before our trip. After a couple of conversations they created the perfect itinerary and our trip turned out to be way more than we even hoped for. They booked our hotels/Airbnb‘s, coordinated all transportation, both car and boat/ferry and recommended and reserved several tours/activities. We left lots of free time in order to save money and maximize flexibility and the balance was perfect. I feel like we paid a small premium to have them do all the work versus planning it ourselves and it was completely worth it, especially given the short notice. We are fairly seasoned travelers but this trip of a lifetime was stress-free and much more enjoyable than if we had planned it ourselves. We met Sara and Ivan twice during our trip and they are just as nice and helpful as you would imagine. We will certainly visit them again and will welcome them in our home when they visit the US. Their connections throughout Croatia make using their expertise an absolute must when planning your trip.

Sarah was wonderful to work with. She planned an amazing trip that our entire family enjoyed - 2 adults and 3 kids ranging in age from 9 to 2. Every detail and transfer was taken care of and on top of that she was available throughout the trip to book dinner reservations, update us of any changes and answer any questions. I wish I could use Sarah on all my vacations.

You will not go wrong with this tour company. First contact was via email for vacation planning and Sarah did not disappoint. She answers your emails in a timely manner (keep time difference in mind). Very receptive if you want to plan your own private trip and will provide you with lots of information to make it unforgettable. We did a private tour with 3 friends, had our own private transport car/van and guides. The guides at all our locations were personable and very easy to get along with. The guides provided plenty of info and delicious restaurant recommendations. Sarah even helped us get a reservation at a Michelin restaurant which is usually booked months in advance. Once we started the trip, Sarah was available for questions and last minute changes to our itinerary. Hotel options were provided in each city and all of the ones we chose were great with good locations and breakfast was included.
A small private boat was also arranged for island hoping. There's nothing this company can't do for you and I can'twait to come back to Croatia. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Sarah, Ivan and entire crew we had an awesome time!!!

Sarah at Royal Croatian Tours is fabulous to work with. We began planning our trip in 2019 and vacation was planned for 2020, but then Covid hit. 2020 was a no go but 2021 our trip finally happened. Sarah was with us every step of the way. She made us feel like we were her only clients, her email responses were always very prompt, and she made it feel like a friend was planning our trip. She made it an incredible experience. A huge shout out to our personal hiking guides, Jean Claud and Tina! We were fortunate to have Jean Claud as our guide for three hikes in Zadar, and Tina at Krka Nationl Park. These two are so knowledgeable of their country and were an absolute joy to be around, we had so much fun with them both! There is a big difference between 'seeing' and 'doing' when you take a vacation like this. Sure many people can say they saw these wonderful national parks, but with our guides we DID these national parks. In my mind ,we experienced Croatia like not many have, and that is all because of Royal Croatian Tours. Our driver for two days was Ivo, he was so kind and patient with us. We could not have asked for better people to be apart of our vacation with us. We also had two different skippers throughout our adventure who were equally accommodating. Not a worry was to be had durning the entire trip, Sarah was personally available any time, day or night, just a message away. I can not say enough about this company, they are exceptional.

Royal Croatian tours is beyond amazing! They recently planned our 10 day journey through Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik, Croatia. From the moment we landed in the airport, Royal Croatian took care of every detail, including exceptional hotel recommendations, transportation logistics and amazing tours/day trips. Every tour Royal Croatian set up was a phenomenal and authentic experience. We were extremely impressed by how every guide was on time, extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and made every experience unique and one we will never forget.
Not only was the trip to this beautiful country amazing, but Sarah and Royal Croatian's attention to every detail and follow up to make sure we were having a great time every step of the way allowed us to relax and enjoy!
We are so very grateful to Royal Croatian for providing the most amazing trip we've ever had. If traveling to Croatia, I would highly recommend Royal Croatian!!!

Sarah and Ivan planned the perfect trip for me and my family in Croatia. They were great to work with - very friendly and accommodating, even when we kept changing our plans (including needing to cancel our trip 2 years ago).
Attention to every detail and request also they work with great drivers, guides, boat skippers etc
I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Croatia !

As a family of four adults who haven't traveled internationally in a long time, we were feeling anxious about planning our first trip to Croatia in May, 2024. But from the moment we connected with Sarah and Ivan at Royal Croatian Tours (RCT), all of our worries melted away. This special team designed a perfectly customized itinerary that exceeded all of my family's expectations and all of my dreams!
First, Sarah and Ivan took time to understand our preferences in order to get a sense of the activities, sights, and experiences we were most looking forward to doing. The private tour guides they selected were truly superb, providing fascinating historical context and insider's perspectives that brought Dubrovnik, Split, and Hvar to life in a way we could have never experienced on our own. We felt like VIPs being chauffered in Mercedes SUVs or rides on luxurious ferries, and the daily schedules with photos of where to meet our guides took all the guesswork out of navigating. This personalized approach made the trip feel truly tailored just for us - because it was!
One of the things we appreicated most was the exceptional communication and personal care Sarah and Ivan provided us. For example, they set up a WhatsApp group with our family so we could reach them at any time for non-urgent matters, and gave us a direct number for emergencies. This gave us such peace of mind, knowing they were just a message away if we needed anything unexpected during the trip.
What really sets Royal Croatian Tours apart, though, is Sarah and Ivan's genuine passion for Croatia and their desire to ensure that our experience is exceptional so that we leave loving Croatia too! At every turn, we felt like honored guests rather than just tourists. This very special team's attention to detail, their generous accessibility and quick responsiveness, and genuine care towards us was truly remarkable.
We cannot recommend Royal Croatian Tours highly enough. Sarah and Ivan and their team at Royal Croatian Tours truly went above and beyond to create the trip of a lifetime for our family. We felt cared for every step of the way, and returned home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime, from historical Dubrovnik to the stunning Dalmatian coast with the crystal clear clean aqua sea, to melodic Klapa music in Split, to the surreal natural beauty of Plitvice National Park, to the varied and beautiful topography along the historical drive to the private Matković Konoba for wine tasting in Hvar.
If you are planning a trip to Croatia, please do not hesitate to entrust your dreams to this very special team, Sarah and Ivan, at Royal Croatian Tours.

We planned this trip based upon my daughter's recommendation to sail the Croatian islands. I started to research a 5 star tour company and found Royal Croatian Tours. Sarah booked the hotel and tour in Dubrovnik before sailing. The hotel was perfect and the tour guide was knowledgeable and very professional.
Igor communicated with me about the catamaran, itinerary and the captain of the boat, who was also rated a 5 star. This journey was outstanding from the moment we arrived and departed Dubrovnik. The islands were magnificent. Everyday we stopped to enjoy swimming in the beautiful blue Adriatic sea. Each night, upon captain's suggestions, we ate at local restaurants savoring the local foods. The hostess prepared scrumptious breakfasts and lunches that were most creative. I cannot say enough about Royal Croatian Tours, a truly 5 star company, that prepared the best trip we have experienced.
