Your own guide, your own vehicle, and an itinerary shaped entirely around you.

About This Tour

A 12-day route from Istria to Dubrovnik covering Pula's Roman amphitheatre, the Brijuni Islands, Plitvice Lakes, Zadar, the Kornati Islands, Split, Hvar and the Dalmatian coast. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — the source route is designed around an optional rental car, but Voyzo runs this exact day-by-day route with your own private driver and vehicle instead, so you can enjoy Istria and the Dalmatian coast without navigating or parking yourself. The whole route stays within Croatia.
