Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1

Location: Dubrovnik, Korčula

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Dubrovnik. On arrival, we transfer to Korcula to enjoy a welcome drink and check in.

Day 2

Location: Korčula

Korcula is a true gem of Dalmatia. Steeped in history, dense pine forests and glorious little towns, this island has it all. We’ll be based in Korcula Town, where the Adriatic Sea laps at the shore on three sides and sprawling groves of palms and evergreens border the other. You may feel as though you’ve awoken in a Croatian paradise this morning.
We waste no time in getting to know the island on our morning tour, revealing some of the legends and the traditions of the area. We’ll get a real insight into what it’s like to live here, both past and present. First, we’ll enjoy a walking tour in old Korcula, taking in the Fraternities and the cathedral. We then continue to take in some the highlights of the island, including Barilo Ethno House in Blato.
On the way back to Korcula Town, we make a stop in Lumbarda. This village sits prettily on soft sands edged by azure waters. We’ll enjoy some free time for a wander through the streets lined with stone buildings, or perhaps dip our toes in the inviting waters. We continue back to Korcula Town, where in the depths of the winding old town streets, we stop at Konoba tavern to taste some local sweets.

Day 3

Location: Korčula

Korcula has a long history of producing fantastic-quality, organic goods and its honey and wine is no exception. Today we’ll toil through the idyllic southern countryside in search of such treasures. Watch on and learn about honey production during a demonstration at OPG Komparac; an outstanding local producer whose owner is passionate about his craft. Following the demonstration, enjoy a tasting and a wander around the herb garden.
We’ll get a taste for the local life in more ways than one at our next stop. At a family-run winery, we’ll learn about the wine of the island - from vine to glass. We’ll also have a chance to taste three different varieties, including Grk; a dry white wine native to Lumbarda. The vine grows well here in particular, because of the dry, sandy soil in the area.

Day 4

Location: Korčula

You might like to take the day to yourself and spend time exploring Korcula Town under your own steam. Or join our optional excursion to Mljet National Park on the forest-shrouded island of Mljet - one of the most enchanting and alluring of all the islands in the Adriatic. Boasting a beautiful, rugged coastline, ancient ruins, shady walking paths and zigzagging cycling tracks, it’s easy to see the island’s appeal. On your visit, you’ll see the two sparkling blue salt-water lakes named Veliko and Malo Jezero (Large and Small Lake). You’ll have the chance to enjoy a stroll through the lush pine woods or swim in the lovely saltwater lakes before you sail out to explore the islet in the middle of the lake.

Day 5

Location: Korčula

Today is yours to spend at leisure. Perhaps pop down to enjoy the sea breeze on the pebbly beach. There’s also a small shuttle boat that runs from the hotel jetty to the old town. In and around Korcula, you’ll spot plenty of tributes to the island’s most famous resident, 14th-century traveller Marco Polo.
This evening we enjoy a traditional Dalmatian dinner.

Day 6

Location: Tivat, Dubrovnik

Today we wave goodbye Croatia and journey to Montenegro. We’ll stop on the way, though, to take in the beauty of UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik, a combination of beautiful limestone cliffs and a laid-back atmosphere. This terracotta-topped city never fails to enchant and one visit simply isn’t enough, but we’ll do our best on our sightseeing tour today. We’ll briefly take in some of the highlights - such as the famed city walls and its compact squares- before we cross the border into Montenegro.
We arrive in Tivat, Montenegro this afternoon. Located in the central part of the Bay of Kotor, Tivat enjoys the Adriatic Sea at its shore to the west and the pine-cloaked Mount Vrmac crowning the city to the east. With sparkling super-yachts loafing in the marina and designer shops dotting its palm-lined promenade, Tivat has air of elegance and glamour - perhaps inspired by its Italian neighbours (the local pizza is delicious, too!).
We’ll check into our hotel, located in the heart of Tivat and just a stone’s throw from the seashore, and enjoy a local snack on the terrace.

Day 7

Location: Sveti Stefan, Budva

We journey to Budva today, one of the oldest settlements in the Balkans. En route, we’ll stop at a viewpoint to take in the fabled island of Sveti Stefan. Once the capital city of the Pastrovici community in the 15th century, the charming island is now home to a luxury resort - a one-time favourite of Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren and Princess Margaret.
We continue to picturesque Budva. The terracotta-topped Old Town lies on a little island, linked to the mainland by a thin peninsula. 15th-century ramparts surround the island and some of the best beaches in Montenegro line its shores. This island is full of romantic lanes to explore - and you’ll have some free time to do just that.

Day 8

Location: Our Lady of the Rocks, Kotor, Perast

Kotor is a fascinating and historic UNESCO-listed town perfectly placed in a spectacular bay. At every turn, there are beautiful mountain views up ahead. The town is a medieval labyrinth of churches, museums, squares dotted with alfresco eateries, and Venetian palaces. Our guide will bring the history of the place to life, before we take to the water to visit the little island of Gospa od Skrpjela (Our Lady of the Rocks) and the small town of Perast, where we uncover some fascinating monuments of Illyrian, Roman and early Christian periods.

Day 9

Location: Tivat

Today is yours to spend as you please. You might like to take some time for relaxation on the beach outside the hotel. Or wander along the pretty promenade for shopping and ice cream.
Alternatively, you could join our optional excursion to Lake Skadar - the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula, located on the border of Albania.

Day 10

Location: Njeguši

On our final day in Montenegro, we take the drive up to the mountain town of Cetinje, where we stop for some sightseeing before continuing to Njegusi. This village is known as the birthplace of Petrovic-Njegos; the most famous writer in Montenegro’s history. We’ll get a taste for the local life, too, with snacks and drinks in a traditional Montenegrin house.

Day 11

Location: Tivat

Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival, your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.

Recently returned from the great...

08-Apr-2024

Recently returned from the great Indian rail journey.My wife and I could hardly believe the value for money.From pick ups from Durham to Heathrow and back,to the number of coach and train journeys , quality hotels, great choice of food throughout and our first night in Heathrow Hilton. What really made our trip a success was our guide, Prashant,who managed a party of twenty four very varied, sometimes a little unpredictable travellers with ease.Nothing was too much trouble for him and as a group we gelled and warmed to Prashant as he kept us safe, well informed and a little entertained by his mix of authority and humanity.Where do I begin with the tour itself ? India,a country of extremes.Poverty,wealth,order,chaos.Sometimes bleak,often breathtakingly beautiful.The people,the cities,art, architecture,flaura and fauna.Delhi,Jaipur, Amritsar,Agra, Ranthambore, Chandigarh and the icing on the cake that is Shimla. An absolute masterclass of man versus nature,the railway and buildings are an unbelievable feat,but wait until you see the dual carriageway being built on the mountainside.🤯I could go on for a very long time but I'll just post some photos.Thanks to Titan,thanks to the excellent Prashant and and a massive thanks to the other twenty two travellers who helped shape our holiday of a lifetime.🏁💜

Exceptional trip and service by Titan

04-Oct-2022

Just returned from a fabulous tour of California & the golden west. It’s a full on tour with early starts but you see so much varied landscape from the ocean to the desert to Yosemite. My 2nd tour with Titan & my first solo tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it & met some great people. Grand Canyon was amazing would definitely recommend

Not merely a holiday, rather a memorable experience

29-Dec-2022

I have used other travel operators; this was the 1st time of touring with Titan----Israel, The Holy Land, from being collected from home and returned at the end of the holiday this was an unforgettable experience; the Tour Manager, a PhD Archaeology made the whole tour so interesting, he enlightened us throughout each day from an historical, archeological and Biblical viewpoint, bringing each site we visited come to life, and went over and above his remit escorting us for evening trips around the local area; thanks also to our very patient driver who coped with the very busy traffic; our hotels were good, professional and pleasant staff and really good food; I would recommend Titan to anyone looking for a fascinating tour with excellent efficient service thank you Titan nor just for a holiday for a memorable experience

We had a fantastic holiday...

26-May-2023

We had a fantastic holiday in Mississippi. Right from our chauffeur driven car picking us up to the return journey, we had a great time. The first hotel The Gaylord was amazing,absolutely huge,first class. The second The Double tree in Memphis unfortunately wasn't, the hotel was tired and very basic, the only plus was where it is situated in the centre of town, we were only there two nights so it wasn't to bad. The American Queen Steam Boat was first class all the way, thoroughly enjoyed the seven nights sailing down the Mississippi. The last hotel the Sheraton New Orleans was very comfortable too. Our guide throughout our time away was Laura Tuttle. she was amazing, very knowledgeable, and helpful. We also had a coach driver Guil, who went over and beyond to give you the best time. Other coach guides included Jim,who was so funny, and also very knowledgeably. Very entertaining throughout. The entire itinerary itinerary was very well thought out, included a huge variety of visits to different Interesting locations. Highly recommend using Titan for all your holiday destinations.

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!!...

03-Feb-2024

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!! (Dreadful) Avoid Titan and Saga at all costs. False descriptions of the tour and dreadful administration Returned to the UK last evening with a great sigh of relief after the worst holiday ever. 1. No block booking of airplane seats by Titan. (Husband and I sat apart on the long, overnight flight) 2. Unable to pre-book seats as Titan reference numbers did not coincide with anything. 3. Husband and I not sat together on any of the train journeys! In fact, on one occasion I was sat, alone on a sleeper carriage, a couple of carriages away from the rest of the group who were scattered over two or three carriages. Terrifying as a female to be sat alone in the midst of noisy locals!!!!! (Eventually the guide, Rahi, did come to rescue me and found a seat near the main group) 4. The guide, Rahi, would usually get off the coach and begin walking off without waiting for all the group to disembark the coach. (Spot the guide in the crowd!) 5. The guide, Rahi, refused to use any identifying prop such as a flag, hat, jacket or umbrella. Frightening to be in the manic crowds of Delhi and other crowded places to be unable to see the guide. 6. NO AUDIO HEADSET system on any excursion 7. The guide, Rahi, didn’t face the whole group, but stood sideways on and was unable to be heard by the majority. 8. OUTRAGEOUS behaviour by the guide when he enquired as to the whereabouts of my husband, whom I explained was in bed with an upset stomach and was feeling unwell. Rahi DID A REVERSE AIR PUNCH😳😳. This was in response to an earlier conversation when my husband had complained about our separate seating arrangements. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL 9. When we arrived at Heathrow to find our aircraft seats were not allocated, we were advised to speak to our guide on arrival at Delhi. Rahi merely shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn’t do anything. 10. Tour pace incorrect - gruelling pace and only half a day relaxation due to the guide, Rahi, throwing in visits to shops and factories fie him to earn his commission as I head him tell another!!!!!!! 11. When off loaded the return flight due to illness, we were unable to get in contact with Titan/Saga. Left in Delhi without an hotel or flight!!! Found accommodation but didn’t remove shoes or clothes due to the poor standard. Final summary: Poor, disappointing, inefficient, incompetent, misleading, misrepresentations, are just a few words to describe.

Luxury VIP door to door...

17-Jul-2023

Luxury VIP door to door travel! I don't think so....Titan sent a Toyota Prius uber to Stanstead for a return journey to Newport, S Wales. 4 adults plus luggage! the experience was anything but luxurious. Contacted Titan on the return journey and since return. They simply didn't seem interested and offered us a £300 travel discount off a future trip! After a lot of emails they converted it to a £300 cash refund. Give it a lot of thought before booking !
