4 out of 5 stars

You get what you pay for. Not perfect but great value

Just returned last Wednesday from the Croatia tour. This was our third holiday with RSD. Unfortunately the weather in the first week was diabolical. Very difficult to listen to enthusiastic tour guides with rain streaming down the streets and only saved by our Poundland plastic macs. But unfortunately RSD can't control the weather.I a ) All of the hotels in the whole fortnight were excellent especially the last one on the last night in Dubrovnik which was truly 5 star. b)The first week of touring the country was quite interesting but we tended to arrive late in the evenings at the various hotels to enable us to have much social time with our companion holiday makers. c) The start times in the morning didn't really allow you much time to relax either On one day we had to be at the coach for 7.00 am !!! d) Boras, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kept us well informed of the history of the countries we passed through. Especially in relations to the recent war. Our coach driver was also excellent especially on the winding narrow mountain roads. e) Once again, as with all RSD tours we had to visit the obligatory carpet, jewellery and leather warehouses. Although I'll have to say that I was more than pleased that the leather jacket I bought in the UK for £70 was valued by them at 400 euros !!!! f) The free second week was spent at the Asur Beach Resort. We had a great room with a lounge and separate TV. As well as one in the bedroon The infinity pool was closed until the fourth day of our tour. The food was ok but a bit predictable but you could each as much as you wanted. We didn't pay the extra £90 each for the all inclusive package but made our Iunch time snack at breakfast. Just take some foodbags with you. There were quite a few local restaurants which were used by some of our party who didn't pay the £139 for the evening meal package. g) Although there was a 15 Euro chathe for live music in the evening, livee music was provided free on the forecourt outside reception on most nights On the whole we had a very enjoyable time. You get what you pay for and two weeks holiday for just over £1000 with all flights, hotels, transport, guides, tours and breakfast ain't bad. Thanks RSD
