Croatia

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

Loved the relaxed pace and flexibility of this tour. Most days you could bike as little or as much as you want while exploring the beautiful towns, beaches, and sea-side restaurants. Amazing sea views from the rides and hotel swimming pools.

The bike and boat Dalmatian Islands trip was excellent in all regards. The scenery was exceptional and the biking was was hard to beat. We were thankful that we had e-bikes as many of the up hill portions were quite long. They were a breeze and were greatly appreciated. The guides took good care of us and clearly briefed us on our daily rides. Our tour group was split between those with regular bikes and e-bikes but everyone easily got to enjoy the experience. The only negative was that the islands have become quite popular and were more resort like than we expected. All in all no complaints.

It was one of the top 3 trips that I’ve taken with VBT! The yacht was the highlight. Initially, I was a little nervous. From the picture on the website, I wasn’t sure the yacht could handle all of us - however, it was great! My favorite day was swimming in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. My favorite dinner was the Captain’s Dinner - there was great entertainment. The whole experience was unbelievably beautiful & so fun! I loved the post trip in Dubrovnik - such an interesting city with so much history. My least favorite time was in Zagreb. There are a couple of things that I feel could be improved - 1. Because we rode EBikes, I also felt the cycling mileage was a little too low. 2. It also seemed like many times we were rushing to get the bikes back to the trailer so the guides would have enough time to get them to the next stop. However, even considering these few details, the trip was fantastic. The guides & crew were so helpful & accommodating. They were truly THE BEST! Such a great time!

The Croatia bike trip was simply outstanding. First and foremost, we could not have gotten better guides from Croatia to show us the islands of Hvar and Brac. The culture, the scenery, the comraderie could not have been better. Plus we learned how to ascend and descend rather large hills! Would absolutely do it again.

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 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.

The guides where wonderful I learned so much about the countries we visited. Everything was top notch. The reason I always choose Country Walkers is the fact they always use local guides this makes the trip stand out above the rest. You get an insight not found with other tour companies.

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.
