Itinerary

1

Day 1: Rome

Arrive at any time, find a comfy spot in the hostel to relax or go out to explore before meeting fellow Roamies in the evening. End the day with a CEO led night walk and enjoy some gelato.
We recommend booking pre-tour accommodation to fully explore this magnificent city. Please speak to a G Adventures representative about booking accommodations in Rome before Day 1 of this itinerary.

Please note that if Vatican City is on your must-see list, we highly recommend purchasing your tickets online several weeks prior to your trip. Advance tickets can be reserved online at https://tickets.museivaticani.va/home. Same-day entrance to St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums (including the Sistine Chapel) cannot be guaranteed without advance tickets.

We also recommend pre-booking your ticket to the Colosseum to guarantee entrance and avoid long queues:

Day 2: Rome to Split

It's all about those good vibes and finding that connection today. Say, “Arrivederci Rome”, as you cruise towards the Adriatic Coast. Once we arrive in Ancona you'll board an overnight ferry to Split, Croatia. Sleeping cabins are included and we bet you'll have some stories to tell afterwards. We can't wait to hear them!

3

Day 3: Split

Wipe the sleep from those eyes with a quick breakfast onboard the ferry. Then, on your mark, get set, GO explore the second largest city in Croatia! Modern life and ancient history collide here ensuring there's plenty of experiences to keep you preoccupied. The only challenge? Seeing as much as you can without rushing it. We'll let you in on a secret. For the best views of the city consider climbing the bell tower of St. Domnius Cathedral, then head out on a sightseeing guided tour to explore Old Town and Diocletian's Palace. But after all this we wanted to do you a favour, so we'll give you back your evening to do as you will. Think drinks in the hostel with new friends, or heading out on the town for a night of laughter and dancing. Doesn't sound like you could go wrong.

Day 4: Split

Take two at exploring Split? Yes, please! Stroll along the Riva Promenade with its palm trees, colourful buildings and striking views of the Adriatic Sea; a great place to get those steps in. Looking for a hike? Consider climbing Marjan Hill where a series of trails crisscross their way to the top. Or... hear us out. You could venture a bit farther to Klis Fortress for panoramic views of the Dalmatian Coast and the “Game of Thrones” filming location for Meereen, just make sure there are no dragons flying about.

5

Day 5: Split/Korčula

Wow, your friends and family back home will be totally jealous of you today. Set those devices to island time and hop on a Hydrofoil sailing trip to Korčula. Yes, we said Hydrofoil. Feel inspired by the views of the rugged coastline, feel the wind whip through your hair, and be in the moment.

Once you arrive, your CEO will come in clutch with another highlight walk of the area. Meet up and see some cool places like the Old Town walls, the birthplace of Marco Polo, and St. Mark's Cathedral. Discover the local beer scene in the evening or get classy and sip some wine while eating seafood in one of the many delicious restaurants on the island.

6

Day 6: Korčula/Dubrovnik

Did someone say Peljesac Peninsula? No? Well anyway, you'll be seeing this gem on your way from Korčula to Dubrovnik. Wave your goodbyes as your fleet of small boats pulls away from shore and head to a place renowned for the best red wine in Croatia. Wander the wall of Ston, from Ston to Mali. Then live your best life with your travel buds and choose to taste this renowned vino and order a dozen of the best oysters in Europe at a local restaurant.

Finish up in Dubrovnik on a group walk through the Old Town. Play eye spy and see if you can spot Dubrovnik Cathedral, Lovrijenac Fort, and a Franciscan Monastery. Afterwards, revel in the timeless atmosphere of this port city. You might never leave and we wouldn't blame you.

Day 7: Dubrovnik

Depart at any time, or maybe decide to add on a few more nights and spend it lounging along the Mediterranean.

Maria was the main reason for our trip being so successful. She was extremely knowledgeable, caring and friendly. I was hesitant and nervous at first but she made me feel at home

Helene R   -  Traveled, July 2023

I didn't get the voucher to the tour, so I had to spend some time in Rome to figure out where to meet up with the group. And I didn't know that I was missing that voucher until I asked you on the day the tour started. It would have been nice with some more information about the tour as early as possible, at least just where to meet up with the group. The tour in itself was nice, and we had a nice guide/CEO. But I booked 4-bed female dorm, but some nights I slept with far more people.. This was simply not what booked. Additionally, one of the hostels felt very unsafe and money got stolen. Lastly, you have deducted money from my card twice..

I enjoyed the idea of the trip and parts of it but it seems like it was poorly executed and the quality wasn't there

I could not recommend this company enough. I booked this tour with absolutely no expectations in mind - I didn't know what to think, as I'd never heard of the company before, but thought I'd give it a go and book it. I came across G Adventures by googling solo travelling online and I'm so so so glad I booked it. I did the 7 day, Adriatic Dreamin? Tour and it was the best week of my life. I met the most amazing people, saw the most beautiful places I've ever seen and the tour guide Justyna was just fantastic. I had a couple injuries (all my own fault) on the trip and Justyna kept an eye on me, which I really really appreciate. She also taught me loads about the Balkans that I didn't know. I will 100% be booking another tour for next year and will be recommending this company to anyone and everyone.

I was really satisfied with the tour! it's what I expected and exactly what I needed for my trip. I do wish there was a more even split of gender ratio on my trip. Our group skewed heavily on the female side and that surprised me given the advertised notion that G trips were typically pretty even.
