Croatia

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

Great bike trip. The self-guided option was planned out perfectly. Andre was excellent and provided excellent care for us. Definitely glad I had an e-bike on this tour. Very very challenging mountains even on an electric bike 😊

The absolute best customer service I’ve encountered. From the first class accommodations in the Split hotel to the final beautiful beachside hotel in Dubrovnik, every expectation was consistently exceeded. The crew on the boat were super friendly and always available if needed. All provided meals were first class. The boat sparkled as the crew wiped down all of the windows and hand rails daily. Our bike guides and support were top notch. Always cheerful and knowledgeable about the areas we biked through, I couldn’t ask for a better team. Bikes were super well maintained and always where they needed to be. Guides kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We always knew what the plan for the day was. There was adequate personal time for swimming shopping, or just strolling around the towns.

The tour was very well organized with beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way. The three guides were extremely attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. The boat was lovely and comfortable, and it was nice not having to pack and unpack everyday. It was nice to have an e-bike on this tour, because there were many long hill climbs. We did luck out on weather, as it was warm and sunny everyday.

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.

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.

From having caring and knowledgeable guides to great companions, beautiful hikes, great places to eat and stay, it was a wonderful trip.

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.

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.
