Your day-by-day itinerary
This proposed route is tailored to your dates and interests. The written quote confirms which guiding, tickets, meals and transfers are included. Independent-day suggestions are optional.
DAY 1
Arrive in Dubrovnik
Arrive in Dubrovnik and meet your driver at the airport, station or other central location confirmed in your travel documents. Continue to your selected four-star or higher accommodation, check in when your room is ready and take time to settle in after the journey.
Keep the remaining hours light. Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a gentle introduction to the old town and Adriatic setting or stay close to the hotel for a quiet meal. Organized sightseeing starts after you have had time to rest. International travel before arrival is separate from the hotel-night count shown for this route.
Overnight: Dubrovnik. Hotel night 1 of 7.
DAY 2
Dubrovnik old town
Meet your guide for a visit through Dubrovnik's old town, following the stone streets and public spaces at a comfortable pace. The city's history and coastal position provide context for the visit, with time to notice details beyond the main viewpoints.
Your proposal identifies any city-wall admission and other tickets. The walls involve steps and exposed sections, so the route should match your mobility and the weather. After lunch, enjoy independent time or return to your hotel, with the evening free for dinner.
Overnight: Dubrovnik. Hotel night 2 of 7.
DAY 3
Dubrovnik at leisure
Spend a full day in Dubrovnik at your own pace. Return to the old town, relax near the water or enjoy your hotel after the previous day's guided introduction. The program leaves room for a leisurely lunch and an afternoon shaped around your interests.
A boat excursion, guided activity or additional admission is an option to discuss before quotation. Seasonal services, weather and sea conditions influence the available choices. Without an extra arrangement, the day stays independent and you remain in the same accommodation tonight.
Overnight: Dubrovnik. Hotel night 3 of 7.
DAY 4
Dubrovnik to Split
Check out after breakfast and continue from Dubrovnik to Split using the road or seasonal ferry connection confirmed for your dates. Your travel documents confirm the departure point, timing, baggage arrangements and any station or airport transfers. We allow practical time for the journey rather than adding a major sightseeing commitment before check-in.
Arrive in Split and settle into your hotel before the city introduction selected for your program. Explore the old town and palace setting with the guiding arrangement in your proposal, or move the walk to a free interval if the journey arrives later. Leave time for dinner on the waterfront.
Overnight: Split. Hotel night 4 of 7.
DAY 5
An island day on Hvar
Take the planned excursion to Hvar using the seasonal transport confirmed in your proposal. Spend time around the harbor and historic streets, with space for lunch and a slower look at the island setting. The day's pace follows the actual sailing arrangements.
Your travel expert will confirm ferry or boat tickets, transfers, guiding and the return journey before booking. Weather and sea conditions affect operation, so the final program includes the agreed arrangements if a service changes. Return to your Split accommodation afterward.
Overnight: Split. Hotel night 5 of 7.
DAY 6
Plitvice Lakes excursion
Travel from Split for the planned Plitvice Lakes excursion, allowing a full day for the road journey and the visit. Follow the park route selected around your mobility and the conditions, with time to enjoy the water, forest and viewpoints at a practical pace.
Your proposal confirms transport, admission and guiding. Paths, boats and park access depend on the current operating arrangements, and uneven or wet surfaces need consideration. Return to Split afterward. Your travel expert will review the length of the day with you before the itinerary is finalized.
Overnight: Split. Hotel night 6 of 7.
DAY 7
A free day in Split
Enjoy a full day in Split at your own pace after the island and national-park excursions. Return to the old town, spend time along the waterfront or relax at your hotel. A slower day gives you time for a leisurely lunch and your own interests.
Your travel expert will suggest optional visits around your hotel and the season. Additional transport, admissions or guided activities remain separate until agreed in your proposal. Otherwise, keep the day independent and enjoy your final evening in Split without another scheduled excursion.
Overnight: Split. Hotel night 7 of 7.
DAY 8
Depart from Split
Enjoy breakfast as your departure time allows, check out and meet your driver at the location confirmed in your travel documents. Continue to the airport, station or onward connection specified in your proposal, leaving appropriate time for check-in and departure procedures.
Your stay ends after the hotel nights listed for this route. If you prefer a later departure, extra night or extension, discuss the arrangements before booking so we plan the accommodation and transfers together. International flights, meals after check-out and additional services are separate unless expressly included in your written quote.

Planning your trip
Is this a scheduled group departure?
This is a customized package with dates and services agreed for your party. Your proposal specifies whether individual activities use a private guide, a shared tour or independent time. No fixed group size or guaranteed departure is implied.
What does the price depend on?
Your travel dates, party size, room requirements, hotel choices and confirmed services determine the quote. Pricing is on request. We do not present historical client costs as current rates.
When should we contact you?
Contact us at least two months before departure. Six to eight months gives more choice for accommodation and popular experiences. We arrange complete packages of at least seven nights rather than individual services.
Are museums, cruises and special visits guaranteed?
Tickets and seasonal services depend on availability. We confirm the chosen visits and transport before booking, and agree alternatives when a service does not operate on your dates.
Where do we meet our guides and drivers?
Meeting points are your hotel lobby, the arrival terminal, station or a central location specified in your final travel documents. Exact meeting details follow the confirmed arrangements.
