The Croatia tour was SOOO much fun, such a wide variety of stops and activities so really made it very easy to cater to what specific interests people had, whether that be hiking, sightseeing or the nightlife. Becca was incredible, we couldn’t have asked for a better leader for our group and definitely left with friends for life <3
