Fabulous trip, from start to finish!  I’d enjoyed a “taste” of Croatia a few years ago — during 4 cruise port calls — and knew that I wanted to return and explore more of this beautiful country.  When I stumbled across Shannon’s Grape Hops Tours, and saw her Croatia itinerary, I knew that this would be the perfect trip for me.  Small group travel? – Check!  No single supplement? – Check!  Lodging in charming local apartments rather than chain hotels?  Check!  A gracious and attentive tour operator/hostess?  Check!  Interesting travel companions?  Check!  Off-the-beaten-path adventures? – Check!  Authentic experiences and interactions with locals?  Check!  Fantastic food and wine? – Check!

This was my first trip with Shannon, but I am sure that it will not be my last.
