Croatia

You will not regret this trip!

Fantastic trip. The bike routes were beautiful and fun and the GPS was easy to use. Our itinerary was perfect and our host was great. You will not regret this trip. E-bike was a life saver!

Incredible first VBT trip!

What an amazing trip to Croatia- the Dalmatian coast! My husband and I had an incredible experience on our very first VBT self guided vacation! Yes, we are already talking about another and we haven’t even made it back home. From the luxurious hotels, detailed itinerary, to our amazing host, Andrej, we had the best time! We were throughly surprised how much we were connected to our host since we were on a self guided tour. Andrej went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. One thing that would have been helpful to know is that If you do go to Mljet National Park, you can bring your bike on the Krilo ferry. We didn’t realize we would want our bikes until we were already there. There are paths all around the lakes for bikes and you can rent there too. Excellent experience with VBT! I highly recommend this trip!

Croatia Bike and Boat Delightful!

Croatia bike and boat was outstanding! We enjoyed using the boat as our 'Floating Hotel" and were very pleased with the food prepared by the chef. Our leaders, Neven and Julian, were caring, responsive and fun. The rides were challenging but so beautiful. The people we met in Croatia were friendly and the little towns and villages were charming. Great trip!

Ups and Downs

As first time travelers with VBT, I rated our trip with three stars due to certain aspects we felt were less than we expected. First the good; The VBT guides were fantastic, they were informative, entertaining and fun. The actual bike routes were more challenging than we expected, with as much as 2000 feet assents and descents many without guard rails. When you reach the top, you have beautiful views of the mountains and water so clear and blue it looks like a painting. Each port was a quaint harbor town to explore. Some aspects of the trip you need to know: 1) The ship in the pictures is not necessarily the ship you will be sailing on. 2) Afternoon snacks onboard were very limited. 3) When you are riding, there are only two guides for 30 people, if you have a slow rider in the group, plan on riding GPS guided only. All in all, I rate this trip as a 3 because the rides were much more difficult than described and the ship was not a luxury yacht.

VBT CROATIA-OUTSTANDING!

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.

Great trip! Glad we reserved e-bikes!

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!

Wonderful Guides in Two Beautiful Countries

This was a terrific trip, especially because of our wonderful guides Vida and Dani. We lucked out with glorious weather. Our walking trips were varied and really wonderful. The hotels were first class with superior service and meals. The short tours provided were very interesting. I always felt very well taken care of with thoughtful small acts of kindness. Our guides answered all of questions with great in-depth conversations. A first-class experience!!

You have two Wonderful Guides!

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.

Challenging Walks on the Croatia Dalmation Coast

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!!!
