Croatia Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 667

Amazing time on San Snova - the boat, the rides, guides Merta and Marko & crew were all amazing! We had a blast with our fellow travelers and were amazed at Chef Luka’s wonderful luncheons and dinners!! Such a wonderful adventure!!

The food served on board was Excellent. The views from on board as we moved between towns was also excellent – far superior to any public ferry or catamaran. The bicycle touring was thoughtfully managed and routed, and very enjoyable. Our state room was very comfortable (up in the bow and far from the engine room), and the common areas were well appointed and fun to hang out in (very "yacht-ty"!). Laundry lines strung along both sides of the boat were invaluable for drying our cycling gear after light laundring/rinsing during the trip.
In all a great travel value.

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.

Boat was luxurious, food was excellent and the guides and staff were top notch.
The biking was most excellent

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.

Great boat, itinerary and crew/guides
The cycling across the Dalmatian islands was very scenic and although challenging at times was very enjoy with the provided pedal
assist bikes

This was a really great holiday! The people and staff were so nice, the guides were great, the food was amazing and we had really good weather, only one bit of rain!
Lots of people under dressed, for the boat, as it can be windy in the evenings, and many wished they had gloves for the ride.

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.

One highlight was the visit to the old olive press, Muzej Uja, and the delicious meal they served! In general I enjoy bike riding and especially enjoyed the views such as the views on the ride outside of Omis. The food was good, especially the chocolate desserts.

Our guides, Ivar and Martine, did a good job of leading and following up and giving us information about places along the way.

My one complaint is that the dining area is too noisy. I realize there is no way to remedy the noise situation in this size of a boat with the number of people in the dining room.

Just back from a wonderful cycling trip with enthusiastic guides (thanks Ana and Lea), a gorgeous ship (Princenza Diana) with a great crew, beautiful scenery and fun rides. I had an e bike and hubby had a gravel bike. He was only 1/4 on a non e bike. 31 of us in total riding. The guides were in front and behind, safety first. But we were able to actually ride good distances before stopping to regroup. Of course, you could stop anytime for a drink or to take pictures. I've been on bike trips where the guides regroup you every few km, and it can be frustrating. We had 3 flat tires in total, which the bike guides handled quickly and easily, no major falls, and only one person missed the boat and had to take a ferry and Uber to catch up at the next port. If you park your bike by the ship, they assume you're on the boat. Instructions are given in detail on the boat, usually after the meals. This is the Blah Blah time, and they go over the route, expectations and answer questions. Briefings were excellent and also fun. The guides set the tone of the trip and these two were knowledgeable, solid bikers, but also charming and super fun! Food - the best food we've eaten on a bike & barge trip. We did a different part of Croatia a few years ago with a different company and the food was very poor quality, insufficient quantity and sometimes inedible. Our chef spoiled us with delicious meals that were plentiful. Meals were a highlight. The cycling is rated Easy to Moderate. If you cycle regularly, this trip is more on the easy scale, but not boring. If you are not a big rider, which some were on this trip, the most challenging thing is the few steep and long ups and downs. However, we were always warned ahead of time so knew what to expect. There's one downhill that's steep, curvy, but also had small speed bumps, and a main road crosses it just more than halfway down. These are the things that we would be informed of and the guides were quick to slow and point out the bumps and stop to gather before the road. This was by far the best bike & barge cycling trip we have done in Europe. As a couple, we have done about 10 cycling trips and this was our third while living in a boat. Some city tours were included and passes to the national parks. There was always enough time after cycling to do a little exploring in town on your own. Also, it was nice to be able to eat a few dinners in town on our own. Highly recommend this trip! Miss Croatia and all our fellow cyclists already!

Over a a great trip.
One suggestion- consider providing all whom go on trip with tripsite- provide them with a vest, water bottle or head binky! The vest for safety, marketing is a must!

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.

Tour was well organized, guides were excellent, beautiful scenery, relaxing pace.

Ou mid-October trip was spectacular. We had lovely Fall weather for riding. Our guides were knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. To enjoy the scenery, I'd suggest an ebike unless you are really gungho. While most rides had little traffic, familiarity with riding in close proximity to cars is helpful (especially if you ride during peak season.)

The excellent bike guides did a great job of dealing with some tricky weather and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. In addition, they were able to accommodate part of our group who needed to switch from regular to e-bikes for a couple of days during the trip. The boat was beautiful and very comfortable, and the boat crew did a great job taking care of us. The guitar on board was a great addition since we had some musicians in the group and the cook was also an excellent guitar player! This is our second bike and barge with Tripsite, and we've had excellent experiences both times. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

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 meals on the boat (thank you, Chef and Sous Chef!) and the bike rides (thank you, Kristofer and Petra!). The e-bikes made the hills easy and I felt as if I could go all day. The meals were amazing! I enjoyed every course of every one. I especially appreciated the guides on our rides who rode at the front and back, making sure we took as long as we needed and letting nobody get left behind. They provided tremendous peace of mind, allowing us to enjoy the ride and not worry about problems.

This boat and bike cruise was a great experience. It was well organized with guides for the biking and town tours. The onbooard temperance was also so pleasant with us meeting aome great people as well as kind, helpful staff, delicious food, and a schedule that allowed for rest in between the biking and town touring. I'll definitely look to do this again.

This was such a fun trip! Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and took care of all the details. From fantastic food, boat navigation, and keeping us safe while on the bike tour, they all had a great attention to detail!

Wow, Croatia is beautiful and the best way to see it by far is on a bike! Guides Edi & Dom were great at keeping us organized and showing us out of the way places - especially “the wall”. The boat was comfortable and the food good, although a little salty and cool at times (understandable given the tiny galley). This is our 6th bike/boat, and ranks as one of the best.

This tour was fantastic! I’ve never done a tour before, preferring to follow my whims when traveling. I enjoyed it so much I’m planning to do it again in future.

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

I enjoyed seeing the islands and really enjoyed our group on the boat.

The location and the people. Everything was well organized and on schedule other than having to make a few change of the trip for weather which the staff did superbly.

excellent trip to get a taste of southern Dalmatia and the islands. E bikes are definitely recommended, and make the trip more relaxed and enjoyable. Our guides Tara and Hjrove were friendly, knowledgeable and communicated well. Tara arranged a wine tasting for some of us at our request, and they were creative and flexible when our itinerary changed due to the weather. we definitely will come back and spend more time on each island.

The magnificent boat including cabins.
Memorable and challenging bike rides.
Excellent guides and captain.
Beautiful islands and villages.

All great islands and rides. Our guide, crew , chef and captain all wonderful.

The scenery and views were amazing! As was the camaraderie on the ship. Our guides did a wonderful job and were cognizant of and attentive to everyone's needs and interest.

We had such an amazing time, it's hard to pin down one thing that made the trip. Our guides, Srdan, Ana and Marco were fantastic. Such great attitudes, able to combine fun with professionalism. The crew on the San Snova were top notch. Always on top of everything to make sure it went smoothly. And then there is the scenery! Unbelievable.
Things to remember to bring- shampoo, lotion, etc. If you have an e-bike, they don't have water bottle cages or mounts so bring a handlebar cage if you like having access to water during the ride. At the end of September, the weather changes quickly. The beginning of the trip was in the 80s and a week later the temps were in the low 60s. And now that I've told you to pack lots of clothes, the rooms are small and don't have a ton of space. We had duffle bags that were able to fit under the beds.

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.
