I have travelled with SPRING TRAVEL and Anna on many trips over the years! The trips I went on, were all different, each one highly specialized to the group. Trips with over 110 on the tour, to smaller intimate a private Luxury trips, my family and friends we always felt well taken care of! The last trip I was on was a five-star Luxury trip a dream vacation from start to finish! From incredible locations, high end luxury hotels, Michelin Restaurants, private luxurious coach buses or cars, private events, incredible tour guides, unique excursions and locations everyone felt like a ’rock star’ it was red carpet all the way.
Anna is a true professional with attention to every detail. She is highly organised business person, very knowledgeable in the travel industry, her experience in the travel business is very evident, especially in Croatia, where Anna seems to know everyone everywhere and she is highly respected. Some of the destinations were in Dubrovnik, Opatija and Island Hvar an incredible hotels and suite on the Adriatic, others were in Dalmatia and North Part of Italy. With Anna absolutely everything is possible. I can hardly wait to travel again with Anna, my dream is set for Fall of 2023!

Thank you for the third tour that was provider by Spring Travel and based on itinerary, price and the customer service we, chose Spring Travel agency as our tour organiser for a big group with two buses and 99 travelers in 2018. Having traveled with Anna and Spring Travel agency, there was no question regarding tour number three. Spring Travel is a little difficult to compare with the agency that we had tour before, since as far as I'm concerned Spring Travel is in a category of their own. Anna travelled with us the entire trip, she took care of absolutely everything, including any small issue that we had. As chaperones we did not have to worry about absolutely anything; her connections are deep and far reaching, she was able to make any adjustments happen on the fly. The special attention to detail Anna paid to make the tour an unforgettable experience for everyone involved really went above and beyond all and any expectations. I had the third time around with her and her team.
She organised our folklore performances in detail and the soccer games for our children and a very nice party that was held outside by the sea with a live music. The party was for the entire group and plus our guests from Canada, in total over 150 travelers.. That was an exceptional surprised to all. I'm happy to recommend Spring Travel and Anna Stajrer to anyone looking to plan a tour (in and out of Croatia) and I am looking forward to our trip next summer.

On behalf of Hrvatsko Prelo Committee Oakville, and all of those from our group who participated in this past summer’s tour 2019, as a President of the group I want to sincerely thank you for organizing the second fantastic tour for our group of over 100 members! It struck the right notes, we saw so much and discovered so much more with you and our wonderful tour guides at every location! You met the diverse needs of all those who participated and anticipated so much for us in advance. Your experience and hard work with groups showed and for that we honestly thank you. The feedback that I have received from our group after we all returned has been absolutely positive and grateful. We saw some places that we never would have thought of on our own and many individuals have said that they would go back to visit that they have experienced a few of these hidden gems in our beautiful Croatia! Many of them will contact you again for travel in next year. You totally surprised us by going above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend Anna-Spring Travel to anyone considering a future trip of Croatia.

I had an incredible experience attending the AWW Luxury Tour for Women with Spring Travel Service and Anna Stajrer. It was truly the trip of a lifetime! Anna's itinerary was flawless, and all the reservations exceeded my expectations. The hotels were a 5 star, with fabulous dining, and easy transfers between locations. Anna accompanied us daily to ensure that every detail was taken care of to ensure we had the best possible experiences. She arranged a variety of top class unique experiences for us such as fine dining on picturesque mountain tops surrounded by vineyards, self care days at the spa overlooking the Adriatic Sea, a fashion show and boutique shopping on cobblestone streets surrounded by climbing vines of wisteria. This was the kind of Luxury VIP Adult tour everyone dreams of.
I highly recommend you to Anna's expertise and meticulous attention to detail. She will exceed your highest expectations to ensure you have a superior travel experience that you will enjoy and remember for many years to come.

I am pleased to speak to the service that Anna Stajrer and her team provided for our group, Croatian National Home 2018 for over 100 travelers. Anna was instrumental in organising our tour and performances in various locations. She has fostered strong working relationships with the various organisers, hotels, restaurants, local folklore groups and different cultural events. The tour guides and bus drivers that accompanied us were also of the same calibre. I would not hesitate to recommend Anna and Spring Travel for any excursions to Croatia in May 2018.

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!

Once again, thank you Spring Travel agency and Mrs. Anna Stajrer for organising such a great and unforgettable custom private-guided tour for the 18 of us-Croatia/Italy! Tour itinerary-was just the right amount of time at each location-wouldn’t change anything personally! Guides were all polite, knowledgeable, and helped us out everywhere.. Hotels, accommodations, meals and locations were excellent!! We are not surprised that Anna won several the Readers Choice Award in Stoney Creek as the Business Excellence Award. I and my small group of travelers would recommend Spring Travel and Mrs. Anna to others who are looking at organising Croatia/Italy private tours. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

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.

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!

It is my distinct pleasure to provide my personal endorsement of Spring Travel Service for their exceptional capabilities in organizing group tours to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. My experiences with Spring Travel dates back to 2007, 2011 and 2015 when my family and I travelled to Croatia with the Croatian National Home (CNH) on group tours organized by Anna Stajrer. · Track record – for over a decade Spring Travel has successfully organized multiple Croatia tours catering to the specific needs of their travelers. Anna has recognizable knowledge, experience and capability to customize their tours to the specific objectives of the travelers while offering their suggestions and guidance during the planning phase. · They are “always on the clock” ready to help fix any issues should they arise. ·Local connections with the people there – Anna knows the quality and capability of the hotels, restaurants, and even shopping venues. The travelers get “front of the line” treatment. · I encourage anyone planning a group tour to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy to give strong consideration to having Spring Travel and Anna Stajrer as your tour organizers.
