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.

Great self guided biking in 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.

WONDERFUL trip
This is an amazing way to see a beautiful part of the world. The rides could be challenging at times, but Duja and Mario were incredibly upbeat, positive and encouraging guides. Their playful energy made the trip even more enjoyable. Each village/town had its own character and were well chosen, as were the rides. The cultural opportunities were also delightful - a stone cutting school, olive oil museum, wine tasting, advice on gelato shops, etc.. The Yacht was luxury on the water. Our room was significantly larger than we've had on other boats and the entire crew worked hard to make sure we had a pleasant trip. The staff cleaned the boat top to bottom every day and it showed. In addition to the lovely bike rides along the coast line and then up into vineyards, olive groves and the countryside, we got to take several swims in the Adriatic Sea. It was delightful. Honestly, one of the best vacations I've ever had.

Croatia tour will be hard to top
Croatia was one of the best destinations we've ever visited and the tour was top notch. The leaders and driver did a great job explaining the daily activities and all clearly had a love for their country which they did their best to share with their guests. We hope to join another tour in the future.

Awesome tour!
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.

Great trip! Glad we reserved e-bikes!
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!

Unscheduled Poland and injured big toe-WORTH IT!
This was my first Country Walker Walking Tour. We were invited by friends who had do several of the tour previously. Wow! This was an amazing trip. Has to be one of my all time favorites. The countries were stunningly beautiful, the weather was perfect, and it was better than advertised. The guides, Vida and Irena were fabulous and extremely proud of their respective countries. We loved their passion and enthusiam for their work. They were organzied and very helpful in every circumstance. Again, an A+. The tour itself was well done, the accomandation were first class, the food was amazing, and the hikes were as described. We have already vowed to take another Country Walker Tour, maybe even back to Croatia!

Walking trip to Slovenia and Croatia
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.

Challenging Walks on the Croatia Dalmation 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!!!

You have two Wonderful Guides!
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.
