Croatia

The self guided VBT biking tour was just the trip for my husband and I, along with two friends. The locations in Croatia had stunning views and the biking routes were the perfect distance for us. So glad we got ebikes!

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

The trip leaders, Vanja and Julian, were outstanding and their personalities complimented each other. Both gave detailed information on the rides each day as well as things to do or places to eat. During our time traveling on the boat, they were engaging and made efforts to talk to everyone. They were able to make some adjustments due to the weather to ensure that we were able to ride. This is our 4th VBT trip and we have found on every trip that our trip leaders are outstanding. Great job in selecting them! We particularly like the Ride GPS system because you didn’t have to stay with the group at all times. The directions were clear and easy to follow. All the places were beautiful, with great views of the Adriatic and the countryside. We loved all the extracurricular activities, especially the trip to the Stone Mason School on Brac. All the lunches provided off the boat were spectacular, especially the trip to the olive museum. The lunch there gave us a taste of many of the local dishes which were outstanding.

Spectacular bike trip to the Dalmatian Islands, Croatia!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.
