As I plan for a trip next year to Croatia and Slovenia, I've learned that different travel guides appeal to different types of travelers. I'm not upscale enough for Frommer's. I'm not a trust-fund backpacker using Lonely Planet. Rick Steves is for the NPR crowd who'll like his political asides.

Excellent book if you are taking a trip to Croatia. The author clearly knows the area and the best places to visit and dine. I highly recommend the book to travelers. My husband and I had an exceptional time on our visit.

In addition, the book caters for different tastes and will provide useful insights whether you are looking for luxury destinations or traveling with a backpack.

The book was indispensable during my trip, and would also make your stay a much more enjoyable experience.
