8 DAYS FROM £844
The travel arrangements from UK to Lubjlana were excellent .On arrival we were met and taken to our overnight hotel where we had our welcome meeting outlining the next days arrangements.
Every day was well planned and carried out with the utmost efficiency and our comfort in mind. The hotels were of a good standard and the food good and varied. The luggage was always taken care of and we did not need to handle it much at all. The trips were carefully planned and sufficient time allowed for one to wander off alone if you wanted to.
All in all a most enjoyable and educational holiday.
As a bonus we opted for the Porec add-on. This proved to be a good move as it allowed one to relax at a wonderful resort after a weeks touring-I thoroughly recommend.
We personally looked forward to seeing the Mostar bridge in Bosnia. We were not disappointed as my photo shows.
- Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
- Ljubljana river cruise by night
- Dubrovnik old town and harbour
We have been on two previous Archers holidays (Prague Krakow and Budapest) and Poland which we enjoyed enormously, but we feel that this tour was particularly special. It must have taken some courage to put together in a tour covering such large distances and to include Bosnia but we would not have missed any of it.
The long journeys were full of breath taking scenery - The Dalmatian Coast - a real eye opener - the two days spent in Bosnia. It was a privilege to see the Mostar Bridge and Sarajevo gave us a fascinating and salutary glimpse into history.
Our guide (Osmond) was excellent throughout the week and could not have done a better job in helping us to understand the complexities of the area.I am pleased to see you have included this tour again in your brochure and would be tempted to do it again except that we have booked the Rocky Mountaineer so I am busy persuading all my friends to go to Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia on your tour.
Congratulations once again to the tour operator - it was brilliant!!!!
However, although the pace of the trip was tiring I now have wonderful memories of seeing so many fascinating places and so much beautiful scenery, the other travellers were very friendly, good company and the hotels fine.
I feel that I have done something really worthwhile this year by gong on this trip and visiting such inspiring places.
Delight in the best of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia on a spectacular tour around the historic heart of the Balkans and the stunning Dalmatian Coast.

Later, head across the border into Croatia and along the Dalmatian Coast to Zadar, a picturesque, historic town, the former capital of Dalmatia, for some sightseeing and an overnight stay.
