Croatia

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

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

Our bike/yacht tour of the Dalmatian Islands was absolutely the best vacation we have enjoyed in our 42 years of married life. Some of our fellow travelers and us referred to the tour as adult day care, because everything was taken care of in a singularly outstanding manner. From trip planning, to the fantastic hotel accommodations in Split and Dubrovnik, to the incredible yacht and its wonderful crew and food, to the spectacular tour guides Duye, Mario, and Irena, the tour maximized safety, enjoyment, excitement and overall pleasure. There were so many highlights, I could write a tome about them. Suffice it to say, we are sold on VBT and look forward to our next bicycle adventure with this marvelous company.

We had a great week on this trip. One island is more beautiful than the next, and the rides were absolutely gorgeous! The guides and driver (Neve, Lada and Mario), along with the other guests on the boat really made the trip for us. A bike trip through the Croatian Islands has been on our "bucket list" for some time and we were thrilled to be able to check this off our list with such a success.

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.

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!

Our Country Walkers trip to Slovenia and Croatia was the trip of a lifetime. Our walks ranged from beautiful mountain trails to a spectacular gorge, to Byzantine ruins on an island in the Adriatic. We experienced wine tasting and truffle hunting, and dinner at a historic summer home on Lake Bled. But what really made the trip unique was the knowledge, caring and skills of our two guides Daniel and Vida. They shared their passion for their country, knowledge of the natural world and the history of the region, while at all times looking out for us.

This trip exceeded my expectations due to Dani and Vida, our amazing guides.They were able to share their personal stories in a professional manner that enriched the trip and we became friends. They were aware and alert to each individuals needs and responded to those needs. They were knowable and worked smoothly was a team. I would travel with Country Walkers again due to Dani and Vida.

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.
