Croatia

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!

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

We found the whole week to be incredible. The staff of VBT makes the week go so smoothly. The bikes are set and ready to go each morning. After a delicious breakfast and a review of the days rides and options, off to ride. If there is any issue with the bike, they are on it immediately and you are on the road. It is a perfect mix of biking incredible views and local flavor and a stop at an olive oil making place or such.

This was our 3rd VBT trip and we loved exploring Crotia which included the pre and post trips. Staying on the Maritino was a great way to visit so many islands. The accommodations in Split and Dubrovnik were outstanding. Very thankful for the e-bike as the territory is quite hilly but spectacular rides. All three of our guides were excellent, each with their own distinct personalities that complimeneted each other. The only disappointment were the dinners on the Maritimo. Breakfast and lunch were great; however, I felt guilty not finishing the dinners which were often bland and/or repetitive with fish.

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!

This was an absolutely delightful experience. I am very impressed with VBT's way of supporting the local economy by hiring local guides, and setting up dinners with locals. Our hotels were great, the guides were wonderful, and i learned so much about local culture and history. Our guides, Mario and Neven, are just wonderful people and so helpful fun to be around.

This was my first Country Walker Walking Tour. We were invited by friends who had do several of the tour previously. Wow! This was an amazing trip. Has to be one of my all time favorites. The countries were stunningly beautiful, the weather was perfect, and it was better than advertised. The guides, Vida and Irena were fabulous and extremely proud of their respective countries. We loved their passion and enthusiam for their work. They were organzied and very helpful in every circumstance. Again, an A+. The tour itself was well done, the accomandation were first class, the food was amazing, and the hikes were as described. We have already vowed to take another Country Walker Tour, maybe even back to Croatia!

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.

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.

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!!!
