Croatia

The beauty of the Dalmation Islands is stunning. Very scenic views of the Adriatic Sea and coastal villages. Routes were along quiet, well maintained, but narrow roads without shoulders. That said, motorists were courteous and I never felt unsafe. The two long routes had challenging hill climbs for analog road bikes. We went in May, before the summer tourist season, a good choice.

This was our 2nd VBT tour and we were highly disappointed. The rides were not easy and in some cases unsafe. Two hotels were great; the other two were dirty, had horrible accommodations, and lacked customer service. Move-on days were not well defined nor easy to do. The local host was nice and informative.

Everything about this trip was great. The accommodations pre and post the bicycle trip were beautiful. The yacht was absolutely beautiful and clean. We really enjoyed the gormet meals served on the yacht, along with the hearty breakfasts. Although the ride was challenging, the leaders made it fun! Great personalitys who kept us going, even on, what seemed, the never ending hills. Croatia is beautiful and we are thrilled we experienced it by bicycle. The extra events; swimming in the Adriatic Sea, lunch at a local family's home, wine tasting, and more were all unexpectedly enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip to everyone.

Overall it was a fantastic trip, from the moment we arrived on the yacht to our last bike ride, everything was first class.

Just returned yesterday from Croatia. This was our first VBT tour and I'm sure it will not be our last. Our guides, Marko and Vanja were exceptional and we hated to leave them. They went above and beyond with recommendations for restaurants, things to see and do during the tour as well as the post tour extension in Split.

Wowsa, what a wonderful adventure. We explored the Dalmatian Islands on beautiful scenic roads... and most importantly from the comfort of e-bikes, which made the "rolling hills" a little easier to ride. Our guides did an outstanding job from day one. Highly recommend this trip!

The entire experience was terrific. This trip consisted of full days of beautiful walks and a variety of interesting and fun activities. The hotels were amazing; each room had beautiful views and were fully equipped. The group size was perfect and we all got along very well. The icing on the cake was, without a doubt, the exceptional leadership of Vida and Dani. They are incredibly warm, kind, knowledgeable, fun and attentive in all the right ways. I would follow them anywhere.

The trip was excellent . We had some rainy weather but the guides rose to the occasion and made our hikes workable and enjoyable in spite of that. They took us on some very interesting activities such as truffle hunting and wine tasting and we visited some interesting places, such as the old city of Rovinj and the Roman amphitheater at Pula. They provided extra very knowledgable guides for those. The accommodations were very comfortable and the food was outstanding.

This walking tour was awesome. The different venues, hikes and lodging was all terrific . The single factor that made the trip so good, were the two Guides. Dani and Dani were so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and their trips to lunches and meals and wine tasting, at various venues were remarkable. Getting to know some of the locals at these venues, and visiting places off the beaten path, were one of the high points, in my view.

We had a great trip thanks in a large part to our guides and our Croatian hosts! Dani and Dani were a great guiding team, who adapted the itinerary to meet our needs. They were thoughtful, informative and knowledgable. I would highly recommend this trip. You will learn so much about the wonderful and beautiful Dalmatian coast.
