Jul 14,2023We are experienced travelers who have been on several small ship cruises. Our Croatia cruise through Always Croatia was at the top of our list. All the accommodations were exceptional. Christy was fantastic to work with. She expanded our stay and ensured all of our activities were memorable. Everyone on the team was exceptionally friendly, accommodating, and helpful.

Jul 05,2023Judy and I have traveled extensively around the world, but had never been to Croatia. When planning our June 2023 trip to the area, she found Always Croatia and Christy Kranjec. Christy was a huge help in organizing our trip which began with a splendid cruise on the MV Premier, which took us from Dubrovnik to Split along the magnificent Croatian coast with stops each night in local ports. The ship accommodations were excellent. The staff was friendly and skillful in managing our experience. Our breakfast and lunch every day was varied and tasty. After the seven-day cruise, Christy had arranged an additional seven days for us and another couple. There were day trips to Mostar, Pula, and Slovenia as our journey took us from Split to Opitija to Zagreb. Christy arranged for our stay in classic downtown hotels with easy access to the surrounding shops and sights. Our drivers were on time, professional, and a great source of local information and color. On the major stops, we had local tour guides who were informative and engaging. Our entire trip was well-planned and executed. Judy and I thoroughly enjoyed our first travel experience in Croatia, and thank Christy and all the folks at Always Croatia for a memorable experience.

Jun 30,2023Our experience from start to finish was amazing! What an incredible way to see the coast of Croatia. We loved all of the stops and the excursions that were included made the experience even that much more incredible. We loved the Oyster farm, wow! The Krka falls and dinner at the Proscuitto Makers house was an evening we will always remember. The staff, Andre and Jana and the whole crew, were so warm and lovely. Our guide, Sinisa, was a wealth of knowledge and a very enjoyable individual. Christy worked with me to get our group all set up. The boat was beautiful! The cabins were spacious for a cruise, and the common spaces were abundant, comfortable, and beautiful. The food was also very good, we ate too much, but it was very good! All in all this was an incredible experience. Our group ranged from 21-55 and there was something for everyone!

Jun 29,2023Always Croatia is the best way to travel! Excellent tour leaders and local guides; excellent ship and perfect crew; delicious food! Lovely destinations; all travel arrangements were well-coordinated. Hassle-free and perfectly safe at all times!

Jun 29,2023We dealt with the owner Christy who's from the country. We wanted to combine the Croatian yacht cruise with a land-based itinerary on both cruise ends. That's where Always Croatia came through. Anyone could book the cruise, but Christy suggested we start in Montenegro and wind up in Zagreb. She handled everything from private cars to top-notch local guides. In Montenegro, for example, we got a private tour of the King's Palace, while tour groups watched in envy. Driving from Montenegro to Dubrovnik, she arranged a private wine tasting at a local winery. She also made dining suggestions at every stop -- including while on the cruise. If you want an authentic Croatian experience, work with a local.

Jun 28,2023We went on this trip with our entire extended family. The service was amazing. The folks at Alway Croatia were very thorough and easy to work with. I highly recommend them. Our trip was AMAZING!

Jun 23,2023Great experience. The Premier yacht was luxurious from the cabin to the main level dining room, the outdoor lounges and, my favorite, the Top sun deck with a whirlpool, sauna and more than ample seating. We swam in the beautiful, calm Adriatic every day. The crew was so professional and their service Impeccable. The food was So good. Touring such amazing, historical, picturesque cities was key to our experience and education about this part of the world. Excursions to Krka National Park, an Oyster farm and a family prosciutto producer (Pig roast) were just more Incredible highlights of the trip. You gotta do it!!

Apr 23,2023Our trip to Croatia can be summed up by one word, FANTASTIC!! In large part this was due to the assistance, advice and hard work of Christy at Always Croatia. After discussing our interests, she planned ten days in Split, Hvar, Korcula, and Dubrovnik. The recommended hotels were first class. Christy selected delightful guides, very knowledgeable, fun to be with, and helped us get a real feel for the wonderful Croatian people themselves. Her recommendations to go on guided trips to Krka National Park, the Hvar Island Tour, and the Korcula Off Road Buggy Experience were "five star.". We also had Private walking tours of Split, Korcula, and Dubrovnik which all get "A"s. These happened as a result of Christy and her experience. I would sum up our trip by saying "It couldn't have been better. Thank you Always Croatia.

Apr 21,2023Loved our trip ! Always Croatia, was a huge part of that. The hotels, the arranged transportation, the professional sightseeing guides. I felt I saw the best of Croatia, and did not feel rushed. Thank you so much for everything!

Dec 06,2022Christy provided our group such a memorable experience by hitting the coastal highlights of Croatia but also private unusual side excursions to private homes of wine and prosciutto makers that we loved. Do not hesitate to let Christy provide your next dream trip.

Nov 26,2022Working with Always Croatia was INCREDIBLE. Christy and her team take pride in delivering 5-star experiences. We had a trip that I will never forget. Christy put together a private island dinner that my boyfriend and I still can't stop talking about because of how special and unique it was, while also showcasing the true culture of the country. One of the other things that were absolutely amazing about our trip is how when we needed something, Christy was always there (even to answer our silly questions included in the travel guide). She never missed a beat. If you want a top-notch travel experience, use Always Croatia!

Oct 31,2022My wife and I were late in booking our trip with Always Croatia for a 7 night cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on My Wish. We considered several companies to book with and decided to work with Always Croatia and we are so glad we did. There were a lot of details to work through to make this trip happen and Christy at Always Croatia came through with flying colors. She was always available to respond to our questions and provide more details on tours, transfers, restaurants, etc. The cruise exceeded all of our expectations and we will look forward to working with Christy and Always Croatia for another trip in the near future.

Oct 24,2022We wanted to write this to thank Christy for choreographing an amazing, privately guided 9 day adventure for 3 adults in Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. We spoke with a few companies while researching our trip and we chose Always Croatia because we felt a real desire on Christy’s part to make our trip perfect. Before our trip we spent a fair bit of time with Christy on the phone describing what we wanted, how we like to travel, and what we wanted to see. Christy always made herself available to work with us and made several suggestions to improve our experience. Her itinerary was perfect. We saw everything on our list and more. The guides and drivers could not have been more interesting and knowledgeable. The hotels were perfect, and the activities were very enjoyable. Literally everything worked like clockwork. There were no issues, problems, or mistakes. Christy captured exactly what we wanted. While our days were packed, we still had time to do many things on our own. Everything went smoothly. It was clear to us that the drivers and guides and even some of the hotel staff knew Christy and they all strived to give us the best possible trip. Christy texted and called us during the trip just to make sure all was well. Our only regret was that we were not able to meet her while in Zagreb. . We would whole heartedly recommend Always Croatia to plan and execute a trip for this fascinating part of the world

Oct 19,2022All I can say is Wow. Christy absolutely crushed every one of the venues that she arranged for us. The five star accommodations, the dinners, the excursions, our personal driver (Bojan), and the beauty of Croatia. Split, Ston, and Dubrovnik. All of it was top notch. We would love to go back and explore more of the hidden gems (especially the Islands) of Croatia and will definitely be using Always Croatia again. Thanks for the great memories, Christy, and to your beautiful homeland, Croatia. Kindly, Fred and Tammy

Oct 18,2022Christy was able to provide an amazing experience each day we were in Croatia. Every guide we were with offered unique insight along with a great personality (in some cases they exceeded our allotted time to cover any missed material). I'm so glad we were able to enjoy both the popular sights as well as the more up and coming areas. In incredible culture and an amazing trip! When we visit again, we know we'll work with AlwaysCroatia.

Oct 17,2022Christy and her team are extremely knowledgeable about their homeland and capable when arranging individualized group travel. She thoughtfully orchestrated the perfect 10 day custom adventure for our group of 36 including two excellent city hotel stays with tours and transportation plus a weeklong private yacht charter odyssey along the Adriatic coast and islands. Every stop was more charming than previous and the pinnacle experiences were the local home food and wine visits. Christy’s connections are exemplary and her enthusiasm and love for Croatia are infectious. She and her team were always hands on and took every detail to heart. I cannot thank her enough for providing such a fun filled and memorable holiday!!!!

Oct 17,2022My trip to Croatia planned by Always Croatia was absolutely one of the best, if not the best, trip I've been on. The itinerary covered everything from the major well know destinations like the Old City in Dubrovnik, to an intimate dinner and wine tasting at a small local winery. The trip was full of interesting outings, as well as time to just sit back and relax. The crew on our ship, and our cruise director helped make our trip unforgettable. We shared tons of laughs as well as learning so much about the beautiful country of Croatia, and its rich history. My memories of them and this trip will stay with me for a lifetime.

Oct 17,2022Always Croatia really delivered on a trip of a lifetime! From the boat, the crew and all excursions was spot on. The visits to all the beautiful islands along the Dalmation coast was magnificent. Croatia is beautiful! Always Croatia, you put a wonderful trip/experience together. Thank you!

Jul 14,2023The Always Croatia crew far exceeded our expectations! Every detail was taken care of from our first week on land to our second week on the boat. Everything went smoothly and perfectly. Every guide, every transfer, every hotel was on time and top-notch. The team kept in communication with me the whole trip. We knew nothing about Croatia when planning this trip so we relied on Always Croatia for the recommendations on what to do and see ….we could not have had more fun! We would definitely go back and use always Croatia again!
