    Dalmation Coast, Croatia Boat and bike - a unique experience!

    · · Pearls of Dalmatia by Bike and Boat, Romantica

    What a wonderful way to see this part of Croatia!
    It was a unique experience for us. I liked the combination of an active component to the holiday and cultural experience. Living aboard a mechanized sailboat while exploring some of the Dalmation islands was a great way to combine sightseeing with accommodation. The bike and tour guides, as well as boat crew were wonderful and did all they could to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour.

    Always a fan of Croatia for biking!

    · · National Parks of Dalmatia by Bike/E-bike and Boat

    The Boat & Biking along the Dalmatia coast and islands was wonderful. As it was October, the weather was perfect, sunny, warm but not hot with chilly mornings but we warmed up quickly once on the bikes. No rain, lucky us. The views are dramatic and various towns the boat stopped at charming. This was our second boat and bike trip in Croatia. Can't say enough goods things about the country except "Go and experience it!" Our boat was comfortable, food delicious, crew very pleasant and helpful, e-bikes worked well and last but not least the two guides were absolutely fabulous. A great trip.

    Croatia Biking and boating

    · · South Dalmatia Bike/E-bike and Boat

    Croatia is beautiful and can be challenging for biking. Ebikes made this challenge achievable. Boat was beautiful and comfortable. Food was excellent. Crew and staff were just great - friendly and capable. Guides were energetic and very knowledgeable. Great way to see Croatia. Only complaint was be unable to use credit card for drinks on board. Made calculating cash (and then converting to euros) much harder. Can't see why they don't accept credit cards for that.

    A complete joy

    · · Pearls of Dalmatia by Bike and Boat, Romantica

    What a way to meet Croatia. Fantastic bikes, boat, leaders and group. I had just a fantastic week.... from the first tour (a walk around Split) so interesting. Great rides - some long and some shorter - all fun and interesting.... beautiful views. Lucky to meet a lovely group of riders, all keen and on time. The leaders kept us across everything but never overwhelmed us with info.
    Only issue - i found it difficult to locate the boat.... there was no clip board outside on the street and it took 4-5 phone calls with the contact person to finally locate the boat. Others told me they had the same experience. The food was also very good.

    Fantastic Trip!

    · · Pearls of Dalmatia by Bike and Boat, Romantica

    What a great way to see the Dalmatian Islands for the first time. The planning and leadership from our guides, Ivan and Martine, were superb, the food on board Romantica was generous and good, and the crew were very helpful. Travelling by sea and bike was a wonderful way to experience the beauty, history and culture of Croatia. Communication and information from Bike Tours was clear and helpful. The trip struck a nice balance by providing time to relax on the boat, time to bike in the mornings and early afternoons, and time to explore on our own the ports we visited. This was our first time doing a boat and bike tour and our expectations were met and exceeded at every point--highly recommended!

    Lovely trip

    · · Danube Experience Bike and Boat Passau-Vienna-Budapest-Belgrade-Iron Gates-Passau

    There was an unforeseen closure of the Danube due to bridge construction. This caused us to spend extra time on the boat. We had 2 full days on the boat with almost nothing to do. I think there could have been a bit of planning to provide activities in the event that plans change. They did give a class on how to change a bike tire which was good but that only took an hour. Dance or knitting classes, group games, contests, something to occupy a very active biking group would have been great.
    The packing instruction seem to have been written for a shorter trip. There was plenty of room under the beds for luggage. There is no place in the rooms to set up a clothes line to dry clothing.

    · Road Bike Tour from Dubrovnik to Herzegovina & Back

    The day-long ride from Dubrovnik to Bosnia (and back) with Bike Tours was a ride we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives. The scenery was spectacular, the route was interesting with a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment.
    Lunch was wonderful at Zavala - we were welcomed like old friends!
    The day was memorable as the seasonal Bura wind made things cooler than normal. Everything was expertly and professionally managed by our guide, Alex. He was personable, knowledgeable and conscientious. He took great care of our safety, and made sure that we really enjoyed our day. He gave us thoughtful options for the route - and he even quickly and efficiently changed a tire puncture near the end of the ride! In addition to guiding our journey, Alex provided us with interesting information, good stories, and shared unique, firsthand knowledge of the culture. He even took a moment to pick some carob beans and introduced us to a new snack food!

    We traveled with two other couples - none of us had been to Croatia before, so it was new for everyone. The convenience of the airport to the port and the detailed instructions on embarking put us all at ease.
    Our cabin was comfortable and clean and there was plenty of room fit socializing and games during down time. Our guides were awesome- professional, fun, funny, knowledgeable and very attentive to the group. We were lucky to have a wonderful group from various parts of the world to get to know.
    The rides were a good length each day with some challenging terrain, but very doable with ebikes. The tours that were arranged at various ports were a terrific add and each of the towns we were in port at felt safe and easy to explore in.
    Overall, this was a trip that was well-priced- not fancy, but safe, clean, and fun.
    I would highly recommend this adventure!
