Testimonials
What a wonderful trip!
What a wonderful trip! Tour of the largest and most beautiful Croatian islands. Visiting charming towns on the coast, hidden coves, beautiful beaches and small hidden villages in the interior of the island. Lots of sun, good wine, good food and good olive oil. A trip for every recommendation!
I went on a journey with Adriatic…
I went on a journey with Adriatic Allure in Sep 2022.
10 days journey with an amazing group of 20 people was an incredible experience!
The itinerary included exploring ancient Athens followed by a cruise to Santorini and the Ionian sea.
Everything was organized exceptional despite a last-minute route change due to inclement weather. The Adriatic Allure team went above and beyond to meet our expectations.
The capital Athens, stunning sunset in Santorini, hidden gem Kythira island, intangible heritage of Delphi, and sailing through Korinth Canal – made the journey truly unforgettable. The fact that we’ve changed the route has made the journey more adventurous, I would highly recommend Adriatic Allure to anyone looking for a luxury travel experience in Greece!
Bespoke travel experiences designed for the savvy traveler.
I have been on small boat island-hopping cruises with Adriatic Allure in Croatia and Greece three years running. They are detail-oriented professionals focused on creating bespoke traveling experiences both on and off the water, for the most discerning of clients. All without resorting to formulaic, “packaged” travel experiences designed for novice tourists, not the experienced traveler. I’ve met new friends, had new experiences off the beaten track, and will certainly plan another adventure in future. Highly recommended.

Fabulous Croatia Cruise
Great food and wine and extremely well planned and unusual excursions like lunch at the oyster farm private wine tastings. Visit to stonemason school. Croatia is so beautiful and Lisa does the best job of giving you a wonderful trip. Local guides were fantastic. Adriatic Allure is the best of the best.
Relax! No need to plan a thing!
I had a unique experience with 3 of my best girlfriends and sister Lisa! An unforgettable trip with no worries and no need to plan anything! Never was a driver late nor a hotel a problem. We had private walking tours, a city full of dragons, caving adventures, castles, national parks, and of course, the wonderful ancient cities along the Adriatic Coast! The weather was most cooperative, but truly if it hadn’t been, our trip would not have been negatively impacted. Lisa and Ines at Adriatic Allure are experts in their field of travel adventure and cultural immersion. We did so many things, yet never felt rushed or late. All of our food felt like feasting daily, but you don’t gain weight because you have so much to do!! We will all happily do more trips through Adriatic Allure. In fact, one of our trip members liked it so much, she is returning in 2 weeks for a fabulous cruise of island hopping with Adriatic Allure!!! Wow!
Fun, Relaxed, Everything taken care of trip!
My husband and I spent a wonderful week aboard the BAN cruising and exploring Croatia with team Adriatic Allure. The team at Adriatic Allure organized the right combination of onboard activities and off the yacht activities. Every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious and the crew very attentive and engaging.
What was nice was being off the ship in the afternoon to explore and find a dinner spot on our own. A couple dinners were on the yacht.
Knowing we wanted to spend longer than a week in Croatia, Adriatic Allure helped with ideas of places to go. When we decided to spend the second week in one location, Rovinj, they checked into accommodations for us. The trickier part is logistics of travel and they made all the connections for us to get a driver for a day or a couple hours. The vehicles were new, clean and the driver very competent.
We would highly recommend planning and or traveling with Adriatic Allure and we intend to in the future.
Best vacation ever
Fabulous people. Unique experiences. Relaxing yet adventurous. Truly revealed the beauty, culture and fine folks that make Croatia such an exceptional place to visit. I’ve traveled the world and this is the first trip I’ve ever wanted to do again—immediately!
Expert customized trip planning!
I went on a cruise with Adriatic Allure in Sept of 2022 and loved the experience so much that I brought a group with me this year. I cannot say enough about what an absolute delight it was to work with Lisa and Ines. Their expertise enabled us to have a fantastic land-based trip that included all kinds of unique and authentic experiences I never would have found on my own. It was such a relief to allow them to handle all the details. We seamlessly navigated seven very busy days. With Ines managing all of the logistics, I was free to focus on hosting my group without any stress. She was even able to pivot on the fly when weather caused issues, to come up with a wonderful alternative activity that my guests loved. We stayed in gorgeous hotels and learned a lot of history and culture from the expert local guides. My guests’ favorite experiences were the cooking lesson in Konavle, the oyster tasting in Ston, and the white water rafting on the Cetina River. My absolute favorite part though, was walking the walls of Dubrovnik at sunset. It was magnificent. Whether you’re traveling on your own or with a group, Adriatic Allure will customize an itinerary that will blow your socks off. I can’t wait for our next adventure together!
Fantastic Trip!
Our group of 5 did a tour of Croatia, Slovenia and a side trip to Bosnia over 11 days and it was fantastic. Adriatic Allure listened to what we wanted and planned the itinerary. Each place we visited was truly memorable from cities on the river, caves, castles, ocean front ancient cities, and boat tour of islands. The hotels were wonderful with a great breakfast, our drivers were on time and courteous, and we didn’t have any problems. Lisa and Ines of Adriatic Allure truly planned a special trip for us and took care of every detail. We enjoyed it so much that the group is planning another trip with them next year!
Adriatic Allure is the best!
Adriatic Allure is my partner in Croatia and surrounding counties for all my luxury group travel. They have the relationships, the experience and the service to create totally custom itineraries and deliver trips that wow my clients. I highly recommend!
Unforgetable experience
Although we are from Croatia, this trip has opened whole new horizons for us, full of hidden gems and beautiful, authentic and fresh flavors and foods. We sailed on a beautiful large yacht with a small intimate group of people and visited wonderful Croatia Islands. Everything was guided by funny local guides and with everday dedication of our beautiful and helpful trip managers. An experience that everyone must try at least once in their lifetime.
life changing experience for a solo traveler
my time with adriatic allure was life changing! in summer 2022 i got to sail around the croatian seas with unparalleled guidance from ines and lisa, and the environment they created on the ship allowed everyone to find exactly what they were looking for. if you wanted to work out, there were morning workouts, if you wanted to learn there were afternoon lectures, if you wanted to swim, there was a swim spot daily (my favorite part!), if you want to rest and read there was ample space and quiet. the port spots allowed us to see the best of the islands – a private curated meal of oysters and mussels made by a local family that picked us up by boat was a standout. all the group dinners were fantastic – both in the quality of the food but also the company. for nights in port we had to ourselves, their recommendations for restaurants, bars, and sweet spots to sit and watch the croatian world go by were spot on. they know the ins and outs of each island and provide an experience you can’t get anywhere else. i was traveling solo but never felt alone – there was such a familial vibe to the whole thing. i can’t wait to go back one day and bring family and friends with me!! 15/10 experience!
