Croatia

Our self guided trip was fantastic! Terrific in country support provided by Andre made it easy to cycle along the beautiful Croatian roads and explore an amazing country. Great GPS!

The tour was almost a 5 star. The only change I would make is that a different hotel be used in Korcula. The Marko Polo was not in good shape and we stayed there 3 nights. All of the other hotels were beautiful. Our guide, Andres, was amazing and very helpful. He went above and beyond when I got sick and couldn't finish a ride on the 4th day.

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!

Spectacular bike trip to the Dalmatian Islands, Croatia!

The Croatia bike trip was simply outstanding. First and foremost, we could not have gotten better guides from Croatia to show us the islands of Hvar and Brac. The culture, the scenery, the comraderie could not have been better. Plus we learned how to ascend and descend rather large hills! Would absolutely do it again.

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 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!!

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.

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!!!

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.
