    Your Guided Group Holiday to Dubrovnik  

    Join us on this Croatia holiday to see for yourself why Lord Byron decided to name Dubrovnik ‘the Pearl of the Adriatic’. Located in between rugged mountains and a sparkling sea, Dubrovnik boasts stunning architecture, rich history and spectacular views. On this 7-night break, we’ll enjoy guided tours of cultural landmarks, and have time to spend lazy days drinking in the fantastic scenery. A full day’s boat trip will take us to the Elaphiti Islands with lunch and entertainment on board. There will also be plenty of free time to enjoy walks along the historic city walls or relax on one of the nearby beaches, with recommendations from your expert guide.
