Croatia Escorted Tours

Crescent-shaped Croatia is littered with small islands, each offering visitors something special. And of course, there’s also the mainland, with its rich Mediterranean beauty and unique attractions. On any one of our fantastic Croatia tours here at Jules Verne, you’ll get to discover so much of this mesmerising location.

Croatia’s islands give visitors something new to uncover every day. Hvar reveals palaces, monasteries and churches and is wonderfully free of cars; Mljet’s 12th-century monastery of St. Mary lies on a striking salt lake in the Mljet National Park; and Korčula is home to the 13th-century cathedral of St. Mark, an architectural triumph with Gothic and Renaissance elements.

This magnificent destination offers so much in the way of nature and culture that it has seven recognised UNESCO World Heritage sites, four of which you can explore on an escorted holiday to Croatia with us. Trogir, one of these UNESCO sites, is a jewel of the Dalmatia, with its narrow, intertwining streets. Another highlight on the Croatian coast is Split, which was first settled when the Roman Emperor, Diocletian, built a palace which now forms an old town area like no other.

Dubrovnik is a real treat for culture enthusiasts. In its golden years, it was a significant economic and cultural centre, rivalling Venice for supremacy. Its fortified walls now host an array of museums, galleries, treasuries, churches and fine palaces.

No matter which of our Croatia tours you choose, it’s certain to be a trip you’ll remember forever.

When is the best time to go on an escorted holiday to Croatia?

Our Croatia tours have been expertly planned during the times of the year when the striking scenery and charming coastal towns can be best enjoyed. Departing between May, June, September & October, you can expect pleasant temperatures, blue skies and sunshine.

Exploring is nice and comfortable during these months, with weather ideal for both wandering through cobbled streets and taking a dip in the crystal-clear waters. Popular areas also tend to be less busy, with fewer crowds than the peak summer months of July and August.
