Croatia

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

The beauty of the Dalmation Islands is stunning. Very scenic views of the Adriatic Sea and coastal villages. Routes were along quiet, well maintained, but narrow roads without shoulders. That said, motorists were courteous and I never felt unsafe. The two long routes had challenging hill climbs for analog road bikes. We went in May, before the summer tourist season, a good choice.

Marvelous tour! The exquisite landscapes and historic sites, the accommodations and attention to detail, and especially the generous support from the fun loving leaders, Mario, Duye and Ida. Bravo!

Great trip. Excellent routes. Comfortable accommodations. Complicated logistics that were superbly handled. Beautiful country with special histories. Fun.

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!

This experience with Country Walkers was absolutely outstanding. I had heard great things about CW from friends who have been on different CW tours (almost all of the participants in this tour had done multiple CW tours before), and this tour did not disappoint. I understand why CW has so many repeat clients, and I will definitely be one of them! The guides, Irene and Vida, were just superb - knowledgable, thoughtful, funny, and incredibly helpful. They made the tour! The entire group gelled with them perfectly and their good humor and enthusiasm for their countries were so admirable. I learned so much about the complex history of the region, and the combination of walking and talking was just right every day. The accommodations everywhere were first class and lovely, and the arranged group meals just right. I honestly cannot think of one thing that could have made this experience better. Another special shoutout to Vida and Irene, who were both spectacular and worked so well together. Already looking forward to many more CW experiences! thank you for a great week.

From having caring and knowledgeable guides to great companions, beautiful hikes, great places to eat and stay, it was a wonderful trip.

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.
