Travel Mama Exclusive
Stroll through the Plitvice Lakes and the Royal Palace of Rome:
A 6-day exclusive small group aesthetic tour of Croatia 🇭🇷
"A truly in-depth tour entrusts the cross-city transportation and long drive to a dedicated driver-guide. All you need to do is take a deep breath in front of the azure Plitvice Lakes and feel the weight of history under the ancient Roman city walls."
Croatia, a country nestled on the Balkan Peninsula and bordering the Adriatic Sea, has become a dream destination for countless travelers in recent years. It boasts both the warm sunshine of the Mediterranean and retains some of the purest historical traces of Southeast Europe. From the culturally and artistically vibrant capital Zagreb, to the Plitvice Lakes, a paradise reminiscent of Avatar, and the ancient coastal city of Split, a must-visit for fans of the TV series "Game of Thrones," every step is a scenic wonder.
However, Croatia’s public transport network can be inconvenient for independent travellers, especially when carrying luggage between inland and coastal cities or travelling between national parks. These connections can take up valuable holiday time. With this in mind, Travel Mama has created this tour for travellers who value comfort and a thoughtfully planned travel experience: 6-day, 5-night Croatia private tour . This comprehensive travel package operates with a minimum of 4 travellers and includes quality 4-star accommodation throughout, admission to key attractions, and a dedicated driver-guide for 10 hours a day over 4 days, totalling 40 hours. Discover Croatia with a smooth, relaxed journey.
✨ Highlights: Four unforgettable moments of culture and scenery
01 | Where continental and Mediterranean cultures meet: Zagreb’s Upper and Lower Towns
Your journey begins in Zagreb. Your English-speaking driver-guide will meet you in the airport arrivals hall and take you directly to Canopy by Hilton City Centre . After settling in, you will explore the capital’s Upper and Lower Towns in depth on Day 2.
Stroll among the grand cathedral and opera house, with the colourful tiled roof of St. Mark’s Church as a particular highlight. With your dedicated driver-guide providing commentary, you can enjoy the sights without rushing, then pause for a local coffee at an atmospheric outdoor café and savour the city’s relaxed rhythm.
02 | An emerald wonderland: Plitvice Lakes National Park
On Day 3, your private vehicle will take you to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park . It is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most beautiful natural wonders.
The natural lakes were formed by limestone deposits. Minerals and changing light create colours ranging from blue to emerald green. Walk along wooden boardwalks past waterfalls of different sizes, with the sound of rushing water echoing through the valley. Admission is included, so you can immerse yourself in this pristine natural setting while we take care of the transfers between cities.
03 | A city within a Roman palace: Exploring Split’s old town
Continue south to the historic coastal city of Split , where you will spend two consecutive nights at the sea-view Amphora hotel. The heart of the city is built around the remains of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s 4th-century palace, and the entire area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your dedicated driver-guide will lead you through the Golden and Silver Gates, exploring Jupiter’s Temple, St. Duje Cathedral and the lively Peristyle Square. Among the ancient Roman columns, small restaurants and craft shops bring together history and modern life, creating a distinctive Mediterranean atmosphere.
04 | Designer shopping and the journey home: Designer Outlet Croatia
After the natural scenery and historic sights, there is time for shopping too. On Day 5, you will head north towards the capital, with your private vehicle taking you directly to Croatia’s largest designer outlet, Designer Outlet Croatia . Browse a wide range of internationally renowned designer brands in a shopping village with the charm of a European town. Afterwards, your private vehicle will take you back to your Zagreb hotel to rest. An airport transfer the following day brings your journey to a comfortable close.
💡 Travel Mama travel advice: Why choose a private tour in Croatia?
Travellers planning an independent trip to Croatia often underestimate the driving distances between inland destinations and historic coastal cities. Driving yourself also means arranging rental-car insurance, navigating mountain roads, and finding scarce, expensive parking outside the old towns.
Travel Mama offers exclusive small group tours and a complete one-stop package. With a minimum of 4 travellers, you can arrange a private departure. The package includes 5 nights in selected 4-star hotels with daily breakfast, private airport transfers in both directions, and admission to key attractions such as Plitvice Lakes. It also includes a full 40 hours of private vehicle service with an experienced driver-guide. Whether travelling between cities or exploring an old town, your vehicle will meet you at a convenient location for a relaxed travel experience.
