Croatia

Thank you, Silvy, and the VBT reservation office for making this a true vacation and taking care of all the details. From the moment we hung up the phone I was certain my first trip with VBT would not be my last. Our local, native Croatian host, Andrej, was friendly, timely, helpful, informative, and an all-around nice guy. I also loved the Ride GPS app and the opportunities to explore Ston and other points of interest — I especially enjoyed roaming around the uninhabited town of Nakovana. With VBT arranged hotels all along the coast and beautiful September weather, I was able to swim in the Adriatic most days of our trip (bring water shoes to walk along the rocks and cobblestones!) So much more to explore…I will be back!

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

Best trip EVER! Futura is a stunning, immaculate yacht fit for royalty and its crew warm and personable, from Captain to chef to stewards and the gal who cleaned our cabin! As for the bike trip... ABSOLUTELY best trip ever! Marko and Milan and Ajda and Petyr now feel like great friends! Competent, fun loving, always right there with anything you might need, and so knowledgeable about every place we visited. If I could duplicate this trip again, I'd go right now!! 10 stars without question!

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.

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!

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 trip exceeded my expectations due to Dani and Vida, our amazing guides.They were able to share their personal stories in a professional manner that enriched the trip and we became friends. They were aware and alert to each individuals needs and responded to those needs. They were knowable and worked smoothly was a team. I would travel with Country Walkers again due to Dani and Vida.

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.

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.

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.
