Operated by Zico Tours · Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County
Morning light slices the Adriatic as a private minivan peels away from Dubrovnik’s ancient walls, and within an hour the coastal glare gives way to a softer inland palette—olive groves, limestone ridges, and villages hanging to the slopes. The tour is compact but deliberately varied: Bosnia’s Ottoman-era Mostar, Dalmatian Split’s Roman core, the water-carved hamlet of Rastoke, then Plitvice’s cathedral of waterfalls before a last stop in Zagreb. Each stop feels like a different chapter in the Balkans’ long, layered story.
