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 guides a staff aboard Bellezza were amazing and accommodating. We so enjoyed our trip, especially biking the islands. What a great way to see everything in slow motion.

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.

The Bellezza is a beautiful boat. Proud captain, Ante and his team are extremely service oriented, particularly the two women servers. Staterooms were larger than expected and the beds and showers were very comfortable.
The featured hot tub was not Hot and the upper deck bar area was never utilized for group entertainment or drinks. Such a waste!
Our two cycling guides, Ivan and Marko were highly experienced, professional, informative and safety conscience.
Several of us were dissatisfied with the food provided and the number of meals that we had to purchase on our own. We appreciate that the cuisine was Croatian with a heavy emphasis on potatoes, sauces and carbohydrates but more emphasis on seafood, salads and vegetables would have been preferred. (For one lunch, tuna was so salty that it was inedible and the vegetables were overcooked.) We also would have appreciated having lunch on some of the smaller islands or taking a picnic lunch.
In all, it was an incredible experience through the beautiful Dalmatian Isles.

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.

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.
