Croatia

Our self guided trip was fantastic! Terrific in country support provided by Andre made it easy to cycle along the beautiful Croatian roads and explore an amazing country. Great GPS!

Had a great time! Andre was very helpful and the biking was amazingly beautiful!

Just about everything about this trip was excellent. Great tour leaders, beautiful scenery, capable and helpful crew, terrific bike rides, lovely ship. Perfect weather. The one thing that was subpar was the food on the boat. Beautifully presented but poorly cooked.

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

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!

This was an absolutely delightful experience. I am very impressed with VBT's way of supporting the local economy by hiring local guides, and setting up dinners with locals. Our hotels were great, the guides were wonderful, and i learned so much about local culture and history. Our guides, Mario and Neven, are just wonderful people and so helpful fun to be around.

This experience with Country Walkers was absolutely outstanding. I had heard great things about CW from friends who have been on different CW tours (almost all of the participants in this tour had done multiple CW tours before), and this tour did not disappoint. I understand why CW has so many repeat clients, and I will definitely be one of them! The guides, Irene and Vida, were just superb - knowledgable, thoughtful, funny, and incredibly helpful. They made the tour! The entire group gelled with them perfectly and their good humor and enthusiasm for their countries were so admirable. I learned so much about the complex history of the region, and the combination of walking and talking was just right every day. The accommodations everywhere were first class and lovely, and the arranged group meals just right. I honestly cannot think of one thing that could have made this experience better. Another special shoutout to Vida and Irene, who were both spectacular and worked so well together. Already looking forward to many more CW experiences! thank you for a great week.

Our knowledgable guides gave me much insight into the history and culture of these two countries while enjoying invigorating hikes and walks along enchanting trails around lakes, through mountains and along scenic gorges. I enjoyed the occasional periods of free time where I could explore the towns on my own which was very easy to do. The citizens are very friendly and welcoming, most everyone speaks English and I always felt safe.

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.

We had an amazing time on this trip and could not have been happier with our decision to take our first ever group tour with Country Walkers. Everything about our trip was seamless. Our tour guides, Dani 1 and Dani 2, were knowledgeable, mature, funny and amiable, each in his own way, and added greatly to the trip/experience. Their local knowledge of culture, food, people, history was unmatchable. We had deep trust in them, and we knew that although everything seemed to go smoothly, they were constantly working behind the scenes to adjust plans due to weather, changes in schedule, etc. They made it look easy, but we knew it was not. Of course the hiking was nice, the views and location fantastic. The food was sumptuous and always different, so we sampled many things and felt we got exposed to all kinds of traditional Croation fare. The wine and grappa were always flowing generously. The eating locations themselves were unique. We heard rumors that this tour was being regrouped or cancelled and were quite surprised as everyone in our group seemed quite happy indeed. It would be a shame to lose these fantastic guides/guys.
