Croatia Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 718

The towns visited. Wish we had a bit more time in a couple of them.

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!

I’ve been on 11 Tripsite tours. This one was the most disappointing.
The Roman Colosseum in Pula on the Istria Peninsula was the highlight of my trip on day 1.
As to the tour itself, I found the routes to be unimaginative, mostly riding through Woods or Fields. As to the accommodations the tour guides were great, and the staff on the boat was wonderful and helpful, but The Linda is a tired vessel. The outside areas were interesting but the rooms could use some sprucing up. The bathroom had ceiling leaks that kept the floor constantly soaked. It’s just not what I came to expect.

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.

We had a fabulous trip! The route was beautiful and everyday brought new surprises. We especially loved riding inland into the mid evil villages up in the mountains. The scenery was spectacular and lots of sights to explore. We would highly recommend this tour!

Hello,

Overall, the trip was very good. The landscapes were beautiful, and the bikes provided were of good quality.

On the other hand, there were some negative points to mention: the absence of water bottles for the group, which had been promised in the contract, and the hotel in Aquileia, which I believe was well below the standard we had expected.

That said, I would also like to highlight the excellent assistance and responsiveness of the local team, which was very much appreciated throughout the trip.

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.

Tough cycling but gorgeous scenery. The San Snova and its crew were just the best.

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.

Tour Guides were excellent. Rooms are very nice. Croatia is beautiful. Dining room is very loud. Food was ok, not as good as other tours we have been on.

Good people …..was fun.
Staff was great. Good itinerary
Food was disappointing…….too heavy Had way too much gravy on.
Boat was beautiful but Salon/lounge/ dining room way too loud.Unable to follow conversations with all the noise.
Recommend that passengers have option to eat inside or on deck adjacent to dining room. Guides excellent Staff excellent Captain Ante was great

Very much enjoyed riding and seeing all the seaside towns and stops as we rode. Just beautiful!

The trip was great. I appreciated the small boat (33 guests vs. the 100+ on a previous trip down the Danube). The staff was attentive and always friendly. The destinations were perfect even when we had some weather to deal with.
Overall I would highly recommend this bike/boat trip to anyone who asks.

The staff was great! The islands and the water were gorgeous...

The biking each day was the best part. We went through the charming coastal towns and along quiet roads that showed off beautiful ocean views and green countryside. It was stunning!

The long stretches of quiet backroads with no traffic, among the greenery, with a slight breeze.
