Top Notch Tours and Hotels (Mostly)
By: MB
Reviewed on: 26 Aug 2016
Overall, we had a wonderful experience with this company, enjoying our hotels and tours immensely. The highlights were the Hotel Bellevue in Dubrovnik, Croatia; the private boat tour of the islands near Dubrovnik; the Hotel Monte Mulini in Rovinj, Croatia; and the Chef's Table dinner at Hotel Monte Mulini. Some lowlights were the Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Iadera in Punta Skala. It is very isolated and too far from the town of Zadar. In order to go to Zadar, it is a quite expensive taxi ride away, so we were not motivated to eat dinner anywhere but at the resort, and both meals were mediocre. The Falkensteiner itself felt like a Disney World resort (not in a good way) with lots of families with small children and a massive hotel that felt like a giant cruise ship. Maid service was spotty, seemingly difficult to get good service with the large quantity of rooms they had to manage.

GREAT fun!

Reviewed on: 25 Jun 2017
Our guide, Zrinka (sp?) was fantastic, a local professor with a great sense of humor - essential with our group of 9! We enjoyed the history of Croatia and Dubrovnik on our drive to a vineyard and wine tasting in a very nice, comfortable luxury Mercedes van. One at the vineyards we piled into trucks and drove up into the terraces with the winemaker, followed by a tasting...and purchasing..of some delicious Croatian wines. Following this we then headed to the oyster beds where we boarded a boat to a private island to enjoy fresh Croatian oysters followed by mussles, local wine and grapa. Z was very accommodating to changes to the schedule! We drove to the top of the cable car and then took the ride down, to be met by our driver. Z then accompanied us into the Old Town giving us the history and answering questions. We were so happy with our guide, she was accommodating of any changes from the original tour, she was insightful, very knowledgeable and charming. We would highly recommend.

Wonderful Tour Guide in Split
By: Lisa S
Reviewed on: 28 Jun 2018
We recently ended a boat charter in Split and were greeted in port by such a wonderful guide and driver who whisked us away for an excellent tour of Diocletian's Palace.
Our guide was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she was a joy to be with. She spoke perfect English and was able to maneuver around the large groups so that we never felt crowded or overwhelmed while touring the palace. She recommended a wonderful place for lunch after our tour which we enjoyed immensely.

Calvados Club did a fantastic job of planning our trip to Croatia. We wanted to see several different cities and cover a lot of ground. We flew into Zagreb and departed a week later out of Dubrovnik. Calvados arranged all of our accommodations, drivers and tour guides and we loved every bit of it. The tour guides were fantastic (Ivana in Plitvice Lakes and Alberto in Dubrovnik especially), the drivers were professional, timely and helped us see and understand so much about Croatia (especially Anna and Oggy) and each hotel was the exact right place to stay for that location. And I thought the prices were very reasonable considering what we wanted to do and see. Highly recommend!

To say our trip was amazing is an understatement! We soooo enjoyed Croatia thanks to Calvados! The hotels were over the top, although Fermai in Split was our least favorite. Linda was our favorite guide and her English was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed her. Our boat rides with Mario and skippers were beyond perfect as well....I had severe back trouble and they were sooo kind and accommodating. We loved that we had Mario for both boat days.....he is outstanding. We also loved Plitvice.....NO ONE should go to Croatia without going there....magnificent. Dubrovnick and our guide Patricia were also wonderful.

Calvados and Martina in particular were great. Arranged all of our contacts within Croatia including all guides, hotels, boat transfers and rental cars. We had one issue when there was a miscommunication about when a rental car was to be picked up which led to a lost evening (waiting around for the rental car company). But it wasn't too bad as our hotel had a beautiful rooftop bar and restaurant. Martina apologized for the mistake and there were no issues with the car the next day.

Sailing was a great way to see the country and was very relaxing. We were never sailing too long - each day we’d dock somewhere for an excursion and/or dinner so it didn’t feel like we were “trapped” on the boat. The staff on the boat - Davor, Una and Boris - was excellent. Friendly, warm and accommodating. Davor was coming up with “surprise” excursions which added to a great experience. Una was always looking out for our needs and Boris was an excellent chef and super sweet. An excellent team.
We loved ALL the guides - again very friendly and knowledgable. Even the drivers who usually are quiet acted as guides - again loved them all. Our favorite guide was Kristina in Split. We could have spent days with her!
As far as hotels, loved Villa Dubrovnik. Everything about the hotel was a 10. In Split, we loved Santa Lucia’s location and rooms. Service was okay.

I can’t say enough about this perfectly planned trip I just had with my husband and 2 daughters. Every strep of the way was perfection! The drivers for all the transfers were on time, very polite and friendly and they often did above and beyond their job with fun conversation.
The activities that Dolores organized were so enjoyable for all of us… my husband and daughters (21 & 22yrs). Maria in Istria, Victoria in Split, John in Hvar and Daniela in Dubrovnik. We thoroughly enjoyed the city tours, the incredible winery, and the beautiful hike. All the tour guides were fun and extremely knowledgeable.
All the hotels selected by Dolores were truly 5* experiences. We enjoyed all the wonderful amenities. I must give an extra thank you to Maslina Resort. The staff at this hotel were above and beyond friendly and welcoming.

Each of the meet and greet/drivers provided were friendly, professional and helpful. They provided great insight about the locale, the culture, the food, etc. They were welcoming and friendly, which was a nice touch after traveling for 20 hours, and their suggestions for foods were on point.

She was so friendly and helpful and provided our group with incredible insight and knowledge, not just about the Game of Thrones show, but about the history and culture of Croatia and Dubrovnik. We also enjoyed the coral-jewelry workshop and we purchased some beautiful, unique items there.
Our on site assistant (Igor ?) was also very helpful, and was ready to jump in and help right away when we had a minor medical issue. A+, Gold Star rating all around to Calvados Club Luxury Travel. They provide the high-end touch with service that stands out.

This was the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the experience was like no other. The tour of the town and clam experience was unbelievable. To see how the cultivated clams and then experiencing them to our table right from the sea was amazing. Would highly recommend this.
