Croatia Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 613

In spite of the weather being extremely hot (end of June), it was a wonderful trip with two excellent guides. The Adriatic was so lovely; I would have liked swimming option stops while on the bike portions. We did have a few swim options from the anchored boat, but generally too much of a current & chop to enjoy. The rides were challenging so we really loved having the Ebikes. Also challenging was the amount of time on loose gravel. We were not alone with that opinion. The food was good, not gourmet, but good enough. Happy to have lots of fruit in the morning. Cabin was very comfortable. Boat was clean & fancy. We very much enjoyed the two guided walking tours of two of the villages. I would recommend this trip; just be mindful of the weather. I’m sure we would have enjoyed it more if it was cooler.

It was a fabulous trip, with a very friendly and compatible group of travelers. The sites and scenery were wonderful, wine and olive oil tasting were great. Food on board was delicious. Guides were amazing and extremely helpful. And e-bikes were a blessing.

Ranks right up there with one of our most enjoyable vacations. You have to love this active trip mixed with the luxury of Harmonia and the organisation of the tour company.

Third bike & boat. The best trip ever, the best boat ever, the best guides ever.

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

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.

Great trip. Single room in lower deck but bathroom/shower in my room was the best I have every had in all of my Tripsite tours. Super crew, bike guides. Happy crowd with never a dull moment. Wow. Never knew about Croatia and it's crystal clear waters and incredible history.

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.

Everything worked like clockwork from the airport pickup to drop off. The guides were great (Kristopher and Nickolina) Crew and captain w
Were excellent

Everything was top notch. The Andela Lora was a beautiful ship and our upper deck cabin was superb. (Probably the best of the four bike and boat tours we've done.) The scenery was stunning: very blue sky, and blue water. The rides were good and very scenic. There was a fair bit of gravel and hills - my wife and I were very thankful to have e-bikes. In our group of 33 riders, there were only two non-motorized bikes. One was ridden by a guest, the other by one of the 30-something year old guides.

Its hard to pick just one place or one aspect of the trip. Our guides were fantastic, the crew was attentive, the boat is gorgeous and comfortable. The guests were friendly and like minded travelers. Croatia is a beautiful country.

Both my husband and myself were very impressed with the Andela Lora, her crew, the guides, the route and the food were all just exceptional. We have been on several bike and barge/boat trips and we both agree this trip definitely rates high in our books! The guides, Kristopher and Dominic, worked well together and everyone felt safe with clear instructions and kept the guests well informed regarding route changes and updates. The ability to download the route on our cell phones even added further clarity to what each day would be like. Thank you to all who was involved on making this trip so wonderful. Of note, the scenery is just breathtaking too!

The aerial views of the beautiful blue waters of the Adriatic and the nighttime lights of the shoreline from the boat deck. The friendships we made and sharing the experience with old friends.

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.

Great trip overall. Especially enjoyed fellow travelers , guides and crew. Some areas fir improvement : good nothing to write home about. Fresher food is suggested. Guide and captain pivoted well when weather changed but had hoped for more off boat swimming versus in harbor hanging out. Bikes very well maintained. We asked about helmets but did not get clear answer do brought our own - a pain. Boat was great.

Guides, crew, views, food, island towns and villages, route planning, light courteous vehicular traffic, all contributed to a superlative experience. The bikes provided were excellent. The e-bikes were so speedy up the frequent long uphill climbs! Fit individuals on traditional bikes played catch-up.

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

we enjoyed every aspect of this trip
the only part I would question or criticize is the below deck berths : so appreciated the piped in air...at first was afraid of potential asphyxiation - ? where is this air coming from ?...by 7:30 in morning & with some clothes on I was way too warm & had to leave..other passengers said same...how will it be in warmer weather ?

from moment we arrived and greeted by Annie from sister boat we knew we were in good hands

This was our first boat and bike experience and we absolutely loved the whole experience! It’s the best way to see intimate details of a country, especially off the beaten path non touristy locations only accessible by boat in Kvarner Bay. The Linda is a very charming older boat and maybe not as fancy as some other boat options but it was very comfortable and we feel gave a more authentic liveaboard experience. The boat staff and bike guides were incredible!!!!! Because of the higher difficulty level (moderate to difficult) of this particular trip it seems to draw a more vibrant, adventurous and fun spirited cyclists! We had a blast with all passengers aboard! Made new friendships from around the world! As novice cyclers, we thankfully chose to ride E-bikes, as there are many long steep climbs that we pretty much breezed up them. Half our group, which are very experienced mountain bikers, rode traditional bikes and they got a workout for sure but they welcomed the challenge. All the meals aboard were wonderful and served family style. Early fall is the ideal cycling temperature and we found the water still plenty warm for swimming. Can’t wait to do another boat and bike trip!

Well, my first experience was in 2016, in Ireland, when I cycled alone in the Clare & The Burren region. It was great... Then in 2017 I cycled in Norway, Drammen, Horten, Sandefjord, Fredrikstad, Son and Oslo, and in December 2017 I cycled over Christmas and New Year in Vietnam and Cambodia. Last year I cycled around Lake Constance, which I LOVED! This year I went walking in CROATIA, in the Dalmatian region, and I LOVED it. I guess I'm a bit biased to say anything.

The most memorable part, has to be parts plural. Loved the biking through the country and small towns, seeing people harvesting olives, drinking local grappa and coffee, walking thru the ports, listening to the sea organ in Zadar, swimming in a isolated bay from the boat. How can you pick one?

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.

The rides were phenomenal… Would have loved to have slowed down a little to enjoy the scenery, but the scenery was spectacular. The food on the boat was unbelievable! The chefs did a wonderful selection of diverse foods. Our guides were very good and competent.

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

The trip was well- organized. A detailed itinerary was sent prior to boarding and it provided adequate information re: what to expect on a daily basis and what equipment was required. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The staff on board the boat were also friendly and responded quickly to requests. The food was great with adequate portions for all. The bikes were well taken care of and in good shape. Prior to the trip, staff from TripSite provided quick responses to questions. You could easily do this trip on a normal bike if in good physical shape. The optional guided tours at various ports were informative and added value to the trip. There was enough downtime each day as we travelled to new ports.

We enjoyed this tour so much! We were one of the last tours of the season, late September, which ended up being the perfect time to go as the weather was not too hot. It was ideal for cycling. It was less ideal for swimming, but we still managed to have a few opportunities for water fun. We also ended up with a really fun group of people on our boat, so that definitely added to our enjoyment. Ebikes were a huge plus for the long climbs. Those on regular bikes in our group were pretty wiped out each day. We had two guides, Mirta and Kristopher, and they were excellent! They gave us good information about each stop. The boat was an older, wooden boat, but the rooms were comfortable the rooftop deck was a huge plus! Nearly everyone we encountered spoke English and most signs with in both English and Croatian. It was a very easy country to get around in and experiencing some of the islands by boat and bike was a spectacular way to go!

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!
