Croatia

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

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 guides were wonderful. The biking was wonderful. Beautiful routes and we loved seeing the countryside and small towns. It was surprising to us that EVERYONE spoke English. Not just the tour guides, but all the people in the cafes and coffee shops we visited. We do miss the days when everyone actually rode a bike, not a motorcycle. Maybe VBT could have some “no e-bike” trips? The boat was spacious and very convenient. The staff was professional and very helpful. This was our first trip on a boat and we would definitely do it again. Our time in Split and Dubrovnik did not live up to our hopes. Everything was impassable 8-5 when the multiple cruise ships dumped their thousands of passengers. Both were nice after 5 and we got a sense of what it was probably like 5 years ago. We have dreamed of “walking the wall” in Dubrovnik for a decade, but it was more of a trudge with a line of people. Everyone said we were lucky we were there before the “busy season”. We are happy for that. An introduction to a new culture is always good, but not on our list to revisit. We would give the trip 3.5 if that were an option. VBT did a great job, but the experience was diminished by the crowds of people in the cities. Not the fault of VBT

VBT is a great way to see things you wouldn't see if you weren't on a bike.

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!

Our knowledgable guides gave me much insight into the history and culture of these two countries while enjoying invigorating hikes and walks along enchanting trails around lakes, through mountains and along scenic gorges. I enjoyed the occasional periods of free time where I could explore the towns on my own which was very easy to do. The citizens are very friendly and welcoming, most everyone speaks English and I always felt safe.

The guides were very well informed and attentive, the itinerary was just right for experiencing this beautiful place. We were able to accelerate our pace on certain of the walking routes which worked well for some walkers. A great experience overall.

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.

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.
