Croatia

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.

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.

Our bike/yacht tour of the Dalmatian Islands was absolutely the best vacation we have enjoyed in our 42 years of married life. Some of our fellow travelers and us referred to the tour as adult day care, because everything was taken care of in a singularly outstanding manner. From trip planning, to the fantastic hotel accommodations in Split and Dubrovnik, to the incredible yacht and its wonderful crew and food, to the spectacular tour guides Duye, Mario, and Irena, the tour maximized safety, enjoyment, excitement and overall pleasure. There were so many highlights, I could write a tome about them. Suffice it to say, we are sold on VBT and look forward to our next bicycle adventure with this marvelous company.

The tour was very well organized with beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way. The three guides were extremely attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. The boat was lovely and comfortable, and it was nice not having to pack and unpack everyday. It was nice to have an e-bike on this tour, because there were many long hill climbs. We did luck out on weather, as it was warm and sunny everyday.

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!

The trip was excellent . We had some rainy weather but the guides rose to the occasion and made our hikes workable and enjoyable in spite of that. They took us on some very interesting activities such as truffle hunting and wine tasting and we visited some interesting places, such as the old city of Rovinj and the Roman amphitheater at Pula. They provided extra very knowledgable guides for those. The accommodations were very comfortable and the food was outstanding.

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!!!

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.
