Caution: Anyone going to study abroad in Europe, do not use Euroadventures for any vacations...
I'm going to make this blog short because I just arrived back from Croatia today and I'm sick of complaining of the company Euroadventures.
My friends and I booked a weekend trip to Croatia through Euroadventures, which is run by 4 young men who were once American students who studied in Europe. The company is based in Italy, but they do trips all over Europe.
Even though I am a little bitter about the organization of the trip, I had a wonderful time in the beautiful Croatia. However, because of false advertising and lack of organization from our event planners we took a 4 hour bus ride to the Italian port, then took an 8 hour overnight cruise/ferry ride to Croatia, then another 3 hour bus ride to the coast (there and back). Long story short, they falsely advertised our transportation creating an idea that it was going to be luxurious, fabulous, and a ton of fun. Instead, it was out of the way, not worth the money we paid, and generally lead terribly with our drunk "guides."
Our hostel was really cute though, and put together well. But our guides never gave us the keys so we always had a hard time getting into our hotel. Luckily there was always someone there to hear us banging on the door. It was just inconvenient.
But our time at the beach was much deserved and despite the chilly weather for 2 of the 3 days, it was still nice to lay in the sand and play in the ocean! Sadly, I didn't get a tan, but I can say I experienced a new country and a new culture and that's what I wanted!
But Euroadventures should be dreading tomorrow because all 120 of us will be responding with mad emails and refunds!!!
