Samantha - Traveled, July 2024
Amalia was the most incredible guide! Despite not being from Croatia it was clear that she had taken the time to research the country and ensure she was able to not only do her job well but to expedite expectations! (and she did!) She knew basics in the language everything about the local area and able to recommend good spots to visit. Her attention to detail was impeccable, she included everyone all the time and made sure that everyone was accommodated for at every minute of the trip! It's very clear to me that Amalia loves her job and takes pride in doing it well. If only I was rich enough i would hire Amalia to be my personal tour guide for all my holidays!

The most important part of any organized group trip in my opinion is the guide. In this case our group was very fortunate to have Tess as a guide as she went above and beyond to ensure everyone on the trip enjoyed it as much as possible. She was boundlessly energetic and always ready to lift the spirits of tired group members, ensured the group bonded and made the entire trip an enjoyable experience with the information provided. There were always briefings about the days activities at meal times which were followed with reminder information on the group chat. She fully participated in the nights out and even when briefly ill she still stayed out till the early hours to ensure the group had a great night. In my experience, people who go above and beyond to ensure people have the best experience possible are a huge asset to companies such as Tru Travel and she has definitely influenced me to take further trips with Tru Travels. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Tess is the absolute best! I’ve done tours with Tru Travels and always had awesome guides and Tess is truly incredible and Tru Travels are super lucky to have her. Her energy is unmatched and it’s so easy to tell how passionate she is about her job and giving us the best possible time. She has been super caring to everyone in the group and felt like she could do anything for us /. She was also super good at explaining what we were going to do and any changes in the itinerary. Her walking tours were also super informative and great fun.

Tess has been an amazing tour guide to make the tour a memorable experience. She was very professional in taking care of myself and the group to attend our needs and requests but also to ensure everyone was alright throughout the tour. She was also very personable to make everyone feel welcome and integrate everyone in the group. She created a great harmony and atmosphere on board.

Tess has been absolutely amazing and has brought a smile to our faces every day. She not only communicates perfectly but she also has a big heart and truly cares about those onboard. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with my gluten allergy and never made me feel like I was a nuisance - I appreciate this more than she knows. Her energy lights up any room and never a dull moment with her around. Her vibes are sensational and this trip was that much better because she was our guide.

Overall a fantastic tour. The places we went to were lovely, the swim spots were awesome and the food on board exceeded expectations. Tess was exceptional and could not fault her at all. She was always willing to help or organize something if needed. As the itinerary changed, Tess made sure we all knew what the plan was which was good to know.

Tess was extremely energetic and motivated to make our group interact with each other, get along and have an amazing time. She never hesitated to help out anyone and everyone when in need, and also allowed us the freedom to do our own thing, which was nice to have options in all places.

I had the best time on the Croatia Sailing tour! Tess, the guide was amazing, she was so fun and always kept the good vibes going the whole trip! The itinerary was adapted to the weather so we didn’t miss out on anything and Tess was also happy to adapt a couple of activities to what we wanted to do! The boat crew were really helpful and friendly and the food from the chef was always so good!! Overall I had the best week and would highly recommend to others!!

Tess was a super fun guide that was knowledgeable, approachable and made everyone on the tour feel safe and enabled the group to have the best time possible. From weather changes and group preferences, Tess was flexible in changing plans and made it possible for us to see and do everything on our itinerary. She listened to our group and took into consideration what we were saying when planning our days.

Tess was amazing at making sure we all knew the plan for the day and organizing things/being flexible to the groups needs. She was the best hype girl cheering us on but also gave space to chill too! She made sure we were all included and supported with anything we needed. She was personable, bubbly, hilarious and overall LOVELY!

Oh Tess! I can’t begin to explain how amazing she was! She felt more like a big sister rather than a tour guide - she helped me overcome some homesickness and partied hard with us! Absolutely can’t begin to stress how great and determined she is to make sure we have the best time. Even when she felt under the weather!

This was my first Tru Travel trip and it was better than I ever could have expected. Our travel ninja (the amazing Tess) went above and beyond to make everyone feel included and have the maximum amount of fun. Tess was absolutely sensational and made a great trip even better. On the last day of the great trip she went out of her way (once again) and gave everyone a post card with pictures from the trip and wrote a personal message on it that was just icing to the cake of this amazing trip. Would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone! Special thanks to the sensational Tess!
