We want to thank you for the amazing tour of Croatia that you arranged for our cycling group this past autumn. The idea of a gastronomic adventure combined with wine, and the cycling was truly a custom experience that we could not have had Without you. Every detail was meticulously attended to, from the hotels and restaurants, to our tour guides and transportation. Helping us to arrange for the rental of our bicycles, as well as our registration and participation in the Istria Granfondo was a huge Part of the trip’s success. With your expertise and extensive knowledge of the region, we would love to have you organize our future adventures!

On behalf of two families who joined the trip to Croatia, I would like to express our sincere thanks to you Anna. Without your dedication and hard work, our trip would not have been so successful. We learned a lot about Croatia in terms of culture, geography, architecture, and many more. Also we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and delicious food in Solaris, island Hvar, Porec and Motovun village. In the meantime, we realize there are still many places we want to go and cannot be covered by this short 10-days trip. Therefore, we will definitely go back again sometime in the future!

Many thanks to Anna for organizing such a wonderful Honeymoon vacation in Italy and Croatia! She organized 14 days the package tour to us. She was very polite and helpful before and during the vacation. All the arrangements went smoothly, the hotels were good quality in excellent locations, all 3 tour guides, very safe private transfers and ferry from Italy to Croatia. We will be using Spring Travel for our trips in future.

We enjoyed our business partnership with Anna and Spring Travel in summer 2017. Their Croatian music group and performance travelers were very pleasurable to deal with. Spring Travel is very organized, professional and quite easy to work with, very rare to see for us when it comes to deal with American or Canadian travel agencies visit us. Big hello to Anna!

We were nervous at first going on our two week guided tour of Croatia and following a guided booklet prior to departure. But in all seriousness, Spring Travel has organized and arranged every possible detail before we even arrived, as upon our arrival ( Family of 4), all of our special requests were met, all upgrades we booked, all admission tickets and VIP access were delivered as promised. Of all Croatian travel agencies in Ontario, Spring Travel is by far the absolute leaders in all inclusive organized and guided tours across Europe. They were awesome!

We used Spring Travel for the first time in 2017 for a guided group tour of Italy and Croatia. Anna was very knowledgeable with travel recommendations that fit our wish list perfectly. On that guided trip, we countered a weather related delay but this is where the priceless value of Anna and her Italian team guides saved the day by helping coordinate logistics in that unplanned circumstance. The next day we were back on track and it was a memory making trip with so many incredible moments that were pre-planned and organized by Spring Travel including a VIP tour of the Vatican. We highly recommend using Spring Travel as we are guaranteed customers for life.

I take this opportunity to thank you for the AMAZING Croatian tour "Croatio Iz Duse Te Ljubim" which you arranged for the Canadian Croatian Choral Society. The trip was a complete success with all the participants and guests extremely pleased with all aspects of the trip.
I do not believe that anyone can doubt or question your professional approach, knowledge or your expertise in the travel business. You are very competent, accommodating and above all so receptive and congenial in all aspects of your work with clients. It was evident that time was not an issue when dealing with the organization of the tour. We are truly grateful for your service. I once again I thank you for all that you have done with hopes that we will in the near future have an opportunity to work together in planning another tour. We are blessed to have you in our lives.

I just wanted to say it was the best trip we have ever been on. It was spectacular and all the arrangements you made and the hotel selections were second to none. What a beautiful country. The people were so friendly and helpful and accommodating. I can’t thank you enough for all your planning and assistance and even the champagne in Zagreb when we got to our hotel. Thank you for the best trip ever and the memories we will always have. We are definitely returning and I am trying to learn to speak Croatian.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to the both of you for organizing a wonderful tour! Lauren and I had a lovely time maximizing all of your hard work by participating in your informative guided tours. The tour guides were professional and shared great information for all ages,particularly Ida, as she was on our bus. The drivers were excellent in maneuvering some very tight spots as well as roads not really suitable for buses. Your continued support to the guides in keeping our group informed and on track did not go unnoticed! Even though glitches happen, you were able to professionally overcome them and continue with your professional attitude. I know it is not easy dealing with people and their diverse situations particularly our group this year with the Older Adults who were not in the group.
The bottles of wine, fruit on the buses, after parties with musicians were excellent, it seemed to bring everyone together, thank you for that experience!! Safe and pleasant travels with your family and I look forward to seeing you soon.

It has been some time since or group tour to Croatia along with the Canadian Croatian Choral Society. As Cheryl and I are not part of the CCCS we were not sure of what to expect. We would like to tell you that it was the ABSOLUTE BEST VACATION we have ever had in our 42 years together. Your attention to detail and personal interest in everyone's comfort and enjoyment was well beyond our expectations. We enjoyed every aspect of the entire tour, the hotels, the tours, our excellent tour guides, the specialty group meals that we organized while we were on the individual tours. You didn't miss a single detail.
Cheryl and I stayed in Croatia for an additional 9 days after the tour ended and you also made those arrangements for us and recommended additional places for us to stay. Again, your recommendations were the best. As a result of the excellent experience we had you will definitely book our next European vacation. We would gladly with pleasure and confidence refer Spring Travel to anyone.

From the bottom of my heart I wish to express my gratitude for the marvelous trip you organized for me personally. Professionally organized to the last detail. Travel and accommodations were second to none. I cannot recall my bus number or driver's name but he and Jelena were exceptionally gracious, helpful, respectful, knowledgeable and fun individuals. You made perfect choices. The special extras offered to my family members and myself were greatly appreciated.
There really are no other words to express my true feelings about this entire tour. I met very old friends I hadn't seen in years and I made many new ones who I hope to see for many years to come. The two bus loads of people were a perfect combination for an unforgettable journey through our beautiful Croatia.

The video is such a pleasant reminder of what an amazing trip we had. Much credit to both of you for your incredible caring and thought into ensuring the happiness of all of us who were traveling to this magnificent Croatia. Through your careful planning we experienced this beautiful country with all its pleasantries, gastronomy and heart sensing culture (the music/songs always strike me with emotion).
As a group we had so much fun, leaving us with many stories and I would go again in an instant! Ed, being a dear friend of mine, also made this trip for me astounding. He has so much knowledge of Croatia, it was very comforting to travel with him. Any future vacation planning, I would like to use your service, should you be willing.

Just a quick note to thank you both for an amazing trip! I'm not sure how you pulled it off to get us into all the hotels and places to see but it was great. From the extra days before the trip to visit places where my grandparents were born and grew up to the last couple days on the beach and everything in between was nice to see. Some places we liked more than others and know when we do return someday where to visit. The three weeks was a trip of a life time we can't thank you enough even the kids enjoyed meeting everyone and had fun.

ZFD Jadran Toronto travelled to Croatia for the very first time this past summer. We all had an amazing 11 day tour traveling through various parts of Croatia. This tour will be forever in our hearts. With a lot of preparation, inquiries and uncertainties on how this group trip was going to follow through, Spring Travel from Stoney Creek owned and operated by Anna and Bozidar Stajrer stood out after our first phone conversation with them from all other agencies. With their expertise and dedication, we knew that we were not going to be disappointed. In saying this, we highly recommend them in planning your future tour.
Anna and Bozidar Stajrer, went beyond our expectations. They were very patient, understood our wants and needs, and had very good recommendations according to our wishes. This past summer proved that with all the events, places, food and the hotels we stayed at. Everything went exceptionally well and we all enjoy the tour. We didn't have to worry about anything and this was exactly what we were looking for. We are extremely pleased that we decided to go with Spring Travel and in allowing them to organize and plan our tour they gave us a memorable and fantastic experience.

We wanted to thank you both for all the hard work you put into making our “FEC Tour” to Hrvatska this summer such a huge success! As this was our first time planning such a trip, it was a tremendous relief to know that we made the right choice choosing Spring Travel to organize and run our tour for us. The choice of hotels and places we visited was fantastic. The service was impeccable and everyone on the tour had a fantastic time. Anna, you worked tirelessly leading up to the tour and non-stop throughout to ensure everything would go without a hitch. Any little request we had was fulfilled with great eagerness and never a complaint! I think one of the fondest memories our kids will have (there of course are many) will be seeing the Dinamo game in Zagreb even though it wasn’t scheduled.
Spring Travel made our first experience organizing a tour effortless. Bozo and Anna, dealing with you was a joy. You were always very friendly and we felt at ease dealing with you. You gave us valued advice and suggestions in the planning process which was a huge help. We can confidently say that the next time FEC plans a trip to Croatia it will definitely be with Spring Travel, and we can refer Spring Travel to anyone else looking for an unforgettable tour to Hrvatska!

This past summer our group was fortunate enough to travel to Hrvatska on a 10 day tour. We had an absolutely incredible time while on tour and in the planning process. Our tour was organized by Spring Travel in Stoney Creek owned and operated by Bozo and Anna Stajrer. If you are looking at planning a tour for your group or know of anyone that is looking for a tour, we highly recommend you contact Spring Travel for your tour. Our experience with Spring Travel was fantastic from the first meeting. Both Bozo and Anna listened to what we were looking for and put together a tour based on our criteria, with suggestions on what would work best for us. They did all the hard work both before the tour in organizing it and during the tour by ensuring everything was running smoothly. Any request we had they took care of.
Bozo and Anna work very hard at ensuring you receive a fantastic tour and excellent rate. They go above and beyond what is discussed and expected. Everything is top notch from the buses, to the hotels, the venues and the food. A good time is had by all ages.
