Frequently asked questions
How much does the Croatia family tour cost?
From €11,650 in total for a family of four (two adults and two children), with hotels, daily breakfasts and entrance tickets included. The exact price depends on your dates, the hotels you choose and your children's ages, so we send a personal proposal free of charge.
Is this tour suitable for young children?
Yes. The days are short and relaxed, with plenty of beach time, and everything is private, so you go at your children's pace. We are parents of three ourselves and plan every family trip with that in mind.
Can we change this 10 day itinerary?
Yes. Every part of it can be changed. We can add Plitvice Lakes, more beach days, a family cooking class or a stay in Zagreb. Tell us what your family enjoys and we'll send a personal proposal.
What kind of hotels will we stay in?
Family-friendly hotels or apartments chosen with you, with family rooms or interconnecting rooms, close to the beach and the old towns.
Do you arrange car seats for children?
Yes. Tell us your children's ages when you enquire and we'll arrange suitable car seats for the private transfers.
When is the best time for a family holiday in Croatia?
June and early September are ideal: the sea is warm for swimming and it's less crowded than July and August. Many families also travel in July and August, and we plan the days to avoid the midday heat.
How do we book?
Send us an enquiry with your dates and your children's ages. We reply within 24 hours, usually much sooner, and refine the itinerary together with you until it's exactly right.
