Croatia

Our self guided trip was fantastic! Terrific in country support provided by Andre made it easy to cycle along the beautiful Croatian roads and explore an amazing country. Great GPS!

The VBT Croatia self-guided tour is outstanding. Excellent routes with climbing challenge to spectacular views of the picture perfect colors of the Aegean Sea. Excellent food and warm country people who love to share their history and culture.

A magnificent biking trip that reveals why the Dalmation coast is so beloved.

I just returned from my first VBT tour. It was fabulous. I’ve done two other bike tour with a competitor and what stands out is the attention the to detail, organization of every step of the way and the hospitality. I must preface this by saying I had an e-bike. It was my first time ever riding one and it was a smooth transition. I did train 80 miles a week but I knew from riding in Scotland I’d appreciate a little help. E-bikes are a magic carpet ride. I’m also a 67 yo woman. There’s not one bit of this ride that flat but who cares? I’ve got an e-bike. I control my workout. There were rest stops with healthy snack options and water - lots of water. We had lunch at two VBT hosted restaurants. The ship was perfect and the crew were great. Cabins were air conditioned. Food was great. Don’t expect to lose weight on this tour unless you have major “tablepushback” control. We had days when we anchored off the coast and swam - ok floated with noodles. The scenery was breathtaking- seriously stunning - combination of the Monterey Peninsula and Napa with its vineyards. Our leaders were Jelena, Neve and Gruba. Excellent team work and great resources. They were organized and so knowledgeable about the Croatia’s history. They were outstanding. We had thorough route reviews each morning. They couldn’t have been any better - no room for improvement. I would definitely do another VBT 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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!!
