Croatia

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

Croatia is an incredibly beautiful country. I loved everything about it. The sea, countryside, walled cities, vineyards, olive groves and the overall hospitality by the locals. I will definitely come back to explore the islands and nearby countries. VBT did a great job of planning a 6 day itinerary and Adreaj was a fantastic host. With that being said I DO NOT think the trip was a great value. In fact it was overpriced for what we received. The first 3 hotel nights were nice but adequate. The 3 nights we spent at the Marko Polo were subpar. The grounds and facilities were fine but the rooms were low budget, outdated with mold in the shower. Since the trip was self guided we were on our own for all expenses. If VBT had included a dinner with a local host or a local tour the trip would have felt more enriched. We ended our trip at the beach at a beautiful hotel in Dubrovnik. We loved the area and stayed an extra night. I also have mixed feelings on the biking. We lost two days due to rain and high winds. One day we biked from Orebic' to Loviste. It was absolutely beautiful. The roads had very little traffic but were windy two lane roads with no shoulder. Climbs were two miles, challenging even with an e-bike. The last part of the ride was right along the sea on a bike path. The other day we biked in Korcula 2 short rides. We biked to the beach and through vineyards and olive groves. Just know Croatia is very hilly so be prepared for a challenge even with an e-bike. This is my second trip with VBT. My first trip also had subpar hotels.The next time I plan a bike trip I will be researching other companies.

What an amazing way to see the country side and experience the true culture. The boat experience was beyond expectations to see Croatia from the sea and the EBIKE tour gave one the beauty out to the sea from the land. The tour guides worked hard to alter the course as we encountered rain and they worked with the crew on the boat to make this experience wonderful and memorable. Will be a challenge to find another trip that tops this trip!

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.

VBT Croatia was a fantastic experience. Our trip exceeded our expectations and my adult son said it was a “trip of a lifetime!” It was a perfect blend of guided and self guided. The guides had great personalities and created a great experience! I loved the variation of experiences, loved the food recommendations, loved the scenery and loved all the group interaction. I am ready for the next VBT trip! Amazing trip! Thank you.

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 was a great trip with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and great accommodations. The guides were knowledgeable and contentious. The trip is rated easy to moderate and I think that is an accurate description, with it leaning more towards easy.

My first experience on a walking tour was delightful. I was very impressed with the expertise and friendliness of the guides who knew so much about history, geography, and local flora. Their attention to detail, ensuring our safety and comfort, while sharing fascinating aspects of Slovenia and Croatia excelled expectations. The accommodations were outstanding and the weather... perfect!

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.

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!!!
