I was nervous about traveling alone, but the WanderAge team made me feel completely at ease. Meeting other slow travelers was wonderful, and we became fast friends. Split is so walkable and safe. I loved shopping at the morning markets and trying to speak Croatian with the vendors. The beaches are beautiful and never crowded in September!

Split exceeded our expectations. The apartment was spotless and perfectly located within the Palace walls. We loved having the flexibility to explore at our own pace while still having organized group activities. The ferry trips to nearby islands were highlights. The local team was incredibly helpful and responsive.

Split offers incredible value compared to Western Europe. The apartment had everything we needed, the food was delicious and affordable, and there was so much to see and do. My only suggestion would be more beach time built into the itinerary - but that's because I loved Bačvice beach so much! The cooking class was a highlight.

We've visited Dubrovnik before, and while beautiful, it felt too touristy. Split is the real Croatia - locals living their lives, children playing in the Palace squares, and authentic konobas serving traditional food. The pace was perfect, the weather superb, and the group size ideal for making friends. Highly recommend Krka waterfalls day trip!

The island day trips were absolutely magical. Hvar with its lavender fields, Brač with the famous Zlatni Rat beach - each island had its own character. Split itself is charming, especially early morning walks through the Palace when it's quiet. The group dinners introduced us to Croatian wines we've never had. Can't wait to return!

As a solo traveler in my 70s, I appreciated the balance of structure and freedom. The guided tours gave me historical context, but I also had plenty of time to photograph the city at my own pace. April weather was ideal - warm but not hot. The Croatian people are genuinely friendly. I've already signed up for another WanderAge trip!
