Croatia

Croatia is beautiful and my husband and I had a lovely vacation there. The trip was well organized but we were both a bit disappointed with several of the rides. Two were from our hotel to another location and then back again along the same route. There were also several rides that were too short for us so we did them twice. Our favorite ride was almost 40 miles, had significant altitude, and incredible scenery. We felt like we had really worked that day. The electric bikes worked very well and were much appreciated. Our hotels were all modern and conveniently located. We're already looking at another VBT biking trip for next year.

fabulous trip. great organization by VBT and wonderful safe routes.

The Croatia trip is one of the best we have taken. Despite heavy rain, the guides created a great experience. They completely rearranged the itinerary including the cruising due to high seas. Once the weather broke, the views are stunning. This is definitely a VBT Moderate trip, with climbs of several hundred feet, rewarded by exciting downhills into some of the Adriatic’s most picturesque harbors and seaside towns. Our Croatian guides were well informed, affable, supportive, and a pleasure to be with.

An Unforgettable Croatian Adventure with VBT! Island hopping across Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian coast aboard a luxury private ship was nothing short of magical. Each day brought a new island and just when you thought it could not get any more beautiful, we were surprised by more stunning landscapes. The rides were challenging at times, but the pedal assisted e-bikes and encouragement from all participants made them doable AND enjoyable. Our incredible guides, Mario and Irena elevated the experience. Their warmth, humor, and deep local knowledge made every moment special. Whether they were leading us through scenic bike routes or sharing stories of Croatian culture, they were the heart of the journey. The logistical planning that goes into a tour like this is incredible and it went flawlessly. This was a bucket list trip for me and it surpassed all expecations.

This was a fantastic trip taken at the perfect time of the year in September. We were able to ride, swim and dine in gorgeous settings every day. The chance to meet the locals in their homes for dinners and to hear of their lives in Croatia was priceless. We were very fortunate to have two excellent guides in Nevenka and Natasha; they were both so knowledgeable and accommodating, we couldn't have asked for better leaders!

The Croatia bike trip was simply outstanding. First and foremost, we could not have gotten better guides from Croatia to show us the islands of Hvar and Brac. The culture, the scenery, the comraderie could not have been better. Plus we learned how to ascend and descend rather large hills! Would absolutely do it again.

This was a wonderful trip! Despite some rainy weather, the hikes were beautiful and well paced. Lovely to see two different countries and learn from our knowledgeable and fun guides about some history and culture. The hotels were top notch and convenient to things during free time. We had a great group and we definitely laughed a lot!

This was a wonderful trip to start traveling again! Even with lots of rain at the start, we had beautiful scenery and good temperatures. The group was wonderfully good natured, and the guides were fantastic. Irena and Matej knew so much about both countries in terms of geography and history and culture! They went, well, literally above and beyond? The castle wasn't even on the itinerary, and now I know all the best gelaterias in the area. I look forward to making more memories and friends on a future Country Walkers adventure.

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.

I have been on multiple bicycle and walking adventures and this was one of the best. The guides were exceptional. They were from Croatia and they did a great job leading us on challenging walks every day and, at th4e same time, educating us on their country. The hotels where we stayed were very nice and well located for our walks and for us to spend free time. The morning breakfast and other meals were excellent. I would highly recommend the Croatia - Dalmation Coast Adventure to my friends and anyone who is relatively physically fit. A fantastic adventure!!!
