5 Star Harmonia boat/barge tour reviews — 1 to 30 of 156

This trip was spectacular, in all respects. The boat was beautiful and very well maintained. The crew friendly, efficient and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. The bikes were great, well maintained. Our guides, Eddie and Bubi, were wonderful. Funny, entertaining, knowledgeable and very much attuned to the group dynamic. Great group of guests. All in adequate shape. We all rode at our own pace. Some speedsters, but others enjoying the spectacular scenery of each island. Guides made us all comfortable with whatever speed we chose to ride. All in all, this trip is a great value for the money!

Everything was as advertised, food, boat, and guides. Eddie & Dominique were attentive and entertaining as they explained each days ride, The food was more than expected from a small gally with only two chefs.

The food on the ship was excellent. The islands were a challenge to bike due to the many long hills, but it was worth the effort.

Croatia is a wonderful country beautiful sites and the food on the harmonica was top-notch. My only complaint is that possibly a regular breakfast every once in a while instead of a buffet every morning.

Beautiful scenery and friendly people in a country with a rich history.

Everything was excellent from beginning to the end. Guides were very knowledgeable and totally entertaining. They stopped just the right amount of time to allow people to regroup and provide scenic views and historical information. Wait staff was very cordial and always helpful! The chefs always created excellent food for every meal! They created very impressive dishes from the presentation to the flavor!

The professional guides. They made the trip fun, exciting and memorable.

We had a great week, weather was wonderful, Everything went as planned. Tour leaders were very attentive. Boat was great.

The only thing I would have added is a quick castle tour near the praying hands statue near the end of the bike trail

Loved the e-bikes. The guides Eddie and Dominique were great. The biking was the best part for me.

Guides, and all the fun activities we had each day. Guide's changed plans seamlessly when a few isssues arose. The cooks were so fun and the food was delicious. And we can’t minimize what a fun group of new friends we made from
New Zealand, USA, Canada, and S Africa. Best trip ever!! Thanks Eddie and Sven

The whole thing.
The islands, the boat, the food, the staff.
The scenery and rides. Stops along the way.
The history and historical sites.

Great scenery, friendly staff, good service and good food. well organized.

Most memorable were the people we met and shared the bike and boat with. The guides, Mirta and Tara made every ride very special. The captain, the cooks and the rest of the crew welcomed us and made our trip special. The scenery on the islands, the swims in the sea and the outstanding meals were top notch. We thank each of them for all the hard work, from loading and unloading bikes, navigating the waters, cleaning, cooking, bar service and fun and laughter...

The country is beautiful and the boat/people were fabulous. Food was great, well organized

I enjoyed the scenery and history and fun facts about each of the islands we biked. The views of the Adriatic Sea from our bike routes were breathtaking. Our 3 guides, Ana, Lea and Martina, were excellent. They kept us safe, they shared the history of the areas and they made the tour fun for all of us.

The guides were exceptionally engaged with us. Ana seems to be leading an excellent example for the other 2 ladies.

The boat was great, the crew was great, the cycling was great, the weather was great... simply wonderful trip.

The guided bike rides were fun! Our guides offered us opportunities for lunch at a winery, an olive oil tasting and more. The rides along the coast were magnificent.

I loved everything about the trip. The biking across the various islands. The boat. The food, boat staff and the boat staff.

Make sure to stay in Split and Dubrovnik a couple of days to see all the site’s well worth it.

The biking riding! Each day was a different experience, e-bikes were a lot of fun and the guides did a great job with the daily tours!

The trip was amazing- Courteous staff and tour guides. Dora and Alen were very attentive and made sure we all were comfortable and we having fun. The staff of the boat Marijana, Ivana, Dante, Stanko Ante, Dominik, Marin and the Captain Filip treated everyone like family. This was a trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations due to the team on the boat making this a very memorable trip that will always be an amazing memory. Looking forward to our next adventure with TripSite in the future!

My husband and I both agreed that this trip was the perfect balance of several things. The boat itself was just lovely!!! (clean, plenty of room to roam, sunning deck amazing, dining room/bar were cozy, our cabin was perfect size with windows), staff was so very friendly and exhibited exceptional attention to details (ie: early morning wiping down wet rails, food allergy concerns, even remembering our preferences), food was excellent, biking experience unforgettable, guides (Dora and Elan) blended as part of our group and gave very informative history lessons , plenty of time to walk/shop and enjoy the areas alone or as a group, A very well rounded, full, exceptional experience!!!! Many new friendships made! Beautiful country, honored to have experienced it. Oh, wine was delightful!!!! Can't forget that!

Great scenery, beautiful, crystal clear waters, more than ample “excellent” food, engaging high quality staff, Harmonia and team were great, bikes were well maintained….and learned about “Turbo” to make the biking much more doable. Olive Museum tour was exceptional and quite informative. Take full credit for ideal weather. Tour in Split was top notch.

The trip was terrific!! The guides, crew, yacht, & food were great ; especially the guides. The cabin was comfortable & quiet. We had a great group. There were many positive comments. The bikes were good. You needed e-bikes for this trip. Croatia is very hilly; some grades were 10%. I would rate the rides moderate to hard. Overall, this trip is a very good value. Ed Conroy

The boat was clean and beautiful and the crew was friendly and fun. Also, the food was spectacular and plentiful.

This was the most well organized and most thought out tour I have every taken. Every detail was concidered yet seemed effortless. Our guides Dora and Alen were laid back, yet professional. Loved that they had confidence that everyone in the group could complete every ride and enjoy it. There is some boat movement on windy days so plan to have something to help with that. Take your bathing suit and water shoes on every ride! So many opportunities to get in the water. Pace yourself as the day doesn't end after the bikes are stored. So much to do at every port. We loved every minute. It was the trip of a lifetime.

So, how about adventuring and pedaling along the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia?!

WHAT is there not to like?!
My week aboard was incredible!

We thrived on our well-appointed, gorgeous yacht, with other Salty Dogs and Intrepid Travelers, who knew how to cruise on a two-wheeler, share their stories, several even danced in our dining room!

We could stroll each evening while docked at a new and charming island quay. This Adriatic Sea adventure had plenty to write home about! However that could wait….

Add E-assist bikes, I was in two-wheeled heaven! Our bike guides were fun, creative, careful, and loved to story-tell!

We swam in comfy ocean temps, breathtakingly clear, turquoise ocean,YES and YES!

Our sailors knew their ropes, the chefs had ThatTouch, dining room staff warm and welcoming, handsome dynamic duo, our Captain and Chief Engineer set the scene for thoughtfulness and harmony between crew and visitors aboard M/V Harmonia last month, I will definitely be back for more!

Other highlights: dice a’rolling, cards a’snapping: one choice of an evening activity, aside a night cap or warm cuppa’ in our classy dining room.

Our yummy culinary delights? OMG!

My group of 8 Oregon baby-boomers were well cared for, and all of us are now inspired to journey again, somewhere, sometime with our Trip-Site hosts
Gratitude to all,
