Beautiful boat with competent and friendly Captain and staff. Great e-bikes and Island Hopping guides were fantastic.. Great food and beverages, beautiful ports, and an overall perfect vacation. Thanks to Carla Sprout and her staff we were able to Charter the Bellezza for 27 friends and all called it a trip of a lifetime. Even our two non-bikers had a blast and our group is planning another cruise in 2027.

This was an unbelievable and unforgettable trip at every level! The Bellezza is a beautiful yacht that cruises calmly and quietly through the beautiful Croatian water! The Captain and the Crew provide genuine customer care from the navigation and mooring, to the outstanding housekeeping services, and the Food and Beverage staff with the outstanding meals and beverage services. The Bike Tour Guides provided exceptional tour leadership that ensured safety and tons of fun!

The Bellezza is a beautiful and spacious boat with a very professional and helpful staff who all made the week wonderful. Each day was different and each bike ride was fantastic. The Captain of the Bellezza continuously ensured that weather would not hinder our biking and made appropriate adjustments when needed (high winds expected one day). The two bike guides were fantastic and worked well together.

For our Intrepid group that bicycles once a year on an overseas trip this was a dream come true! The yacht is just as great as it looks in the pictures. The e-bikes were fantastic the bike leaders were great and the staff on the ship were terrific. Although we did not realize how much Croatia has been found by tours it is still a beautiful country. Very much worth the price.

For me, this trip was the perfect blend of biking, island exploration, and time spent enjoying one of the most beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable boats imaginable.
The crew was efficient, accommodating, and attentive throughout the journey. The food was delicious and plentiful, with multiple courses at dinner and wonderful desserts. The breakfast buffet offered something for everyone.
The bikes were well maintained and ready each day for our rides. If you've ridden a bike before, you should have no trouble handling the hills with the e-bikes. Each day brought scenery more beautiful than the last. Croatia is a stunning country and should be on everyone's travel list.
The coordination between Tripsite and Island Hopping Bike Tours was seamless. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, great travel companions, and two exceptional guides, Ana and Tara. They were knowledgeable, funny, organized, hardworking, and a genuine pleasure to be around. They truly were the frosting on the cake of an already wonderful trip.

The islands we visited were breathtaking. We had such a wonderful time getting to know the other passengers on the ship. The guides and crew were professional and charming. My only regret was that the food was so good I gained 3 pounds in one week!

This trip was outstanding. The boat was very comfortable and well thought out. The owner of the boat and captain, Ante was engaging and informative. The guides,Tara and Ivan were outstanding and did a great job coordinating our bike rides working around the weather. The crew of the boat inclined Rino, Bruna, Tonka, Niksa, Josip, and Alma were all outstanding. I would highly recommend this trip.

This trip was beyond everything we expected - the people, the crew, the boat, the sites, the guides were all amazing. It is definitely worth having some extra time in both Split and Dubrovnik - beautiful spots. We liked the side trips that the guides planned - the winery, museum and village tour - great surprises.

The harbor towns and the biking were most memorable. We enjoyed the commaraderie of the group we were with. I feel we learned about Croatian history and current affairs. We loved the in depth experience of Croatian island life we got as we biked around the islands.

Beautiful views of the Adriatic both from high and low at port side ancient towns and harbors: long slow bike climbs followed by wonderful long downhill runs; comfortable air conditioned boat lodgings and food.

This was a trip of a lifetime. I felt like a princess on the Bellezza. The crew made sure we had everything we needed and our guides, Nikki and Kristopher were awesome! They took great care of us on the bike rides. The E-bike is a game changer. I am a cyclist but would not have enjoyed the steep grades that went on for miles. But the e-bike made it easy and the views on the routes were amazing! The food on the boat was delicious and plentiful! We stopped a few times for a swim and that was refreshing and a highlight! I would definitely recommend this trip and I am already planning another trip, possibly in Croatia because it is a beautiful country.
- When did you take this tour?

- How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
- I knew the ride would be hard, but I didn't realize the steep grades would last as long they did. There were steep grades of 6 miles or more, but no problem with the e-bike. I did use the turbo mode occasionally but never came close to using up my battery.
