Croatia

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

Croatia is beautiful and my husband and I had a lovely vacation there. The trip was well organized but we were both a bit disappointed with several of the rides. Two were from our hotel to another location and then back again along the same route. There were also several rides that were too short for us so we did them twice. Our favorite ride was almost 40 miles, had significant altitude, and incredible scenery. We felt like we had really worked that day. The electric bikes worked very well and were much appreciated. Our hotels were all modern and conveniently located. We're already looking at another VBT biking trip for next year.

The location of this adventure is breathtaking! The sea; the architecture; the fields of grapes, figs and olives; the history; the challenging biking opportunity are all exceptional. However, the tour guides made this a memorable event. Jellina, Nevin and Mario took care of our every need, shared stories and kept us safe.

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!

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.

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 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!

My first experience on a walking tour was delightful. I was very impressed with the expertise and friendliness of the guides who knew so much about history, geography, and local flora. Their attention to detail, ensuring our safety and comfort, while sharing fascinating aspects of Slovenia and Croatia excelled expectations. The accommodations were outstanding and the weather... perfect!

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.

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!!!
