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.

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

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.

Our trip was absolute perfection, from beginning to end. Harmonia is a beautiful, well-appointed boat and was a comfy home. There were 32 of us aboard, and it seemed like the perfect group size. The staff were all warm, friendly and eager to please. The chefs, Dante and Stanko, made beautiful and abundant meals and accommodated my pescatarian diet. Our guides, Bubi and Nikki, were THE BEST! They spoke flawless English and were funny, charming, capable, fun and patient. The bikes were very comfortable and easy to learn and to steer. The rides were varied in terms of scenery and terrain, and all were stunningly beautiful. We enjoyed swimming in the warm, clear Adriatic right off the boat, and some even used Harmonia’s SUP and kayak.

All in all, it was a dreamy and very easy vacation. It was a perfect way to see a gorgeous part of our planet while indulging our love of physical activity. We highly recommend!

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 Read More

The entire trip was stunningly beautiful, to the Adriatic Sea, biking on the numerous islands and the views of the mountains while traveling on the boat and riding our bikes. The tour guides were knowledgeable and attentive as well as the entire crew on our boat. The bike trips were full of interesting sites and easy to complete. If you’re looking for a relaxing trip that includes biking on numerous islands, swimming at some of the some most gorgeous beaches around then this trip is for you. Book it now, you won’t regret it.

It's impossible for me to name a single most memorable part of this trip; it was the total package- beautiful scenery, beautiful boat, delicious gourmet food, excellent cycling equipment, excellent fun guides and ship crew. The size of the group was good and happily we all got along great. We were also lucky with the weather as shoulder season brought some rain we dodged with a slight itinerary adjustment. Despite an initial snag due to a couple of cabins not being what people had reserved via Tripsite, the trip guides managed to sort things out to everyone's satisfaction thanks to kindness and generosity within the group and I am confident in writing that every single person aboard had a wonderful time.

I was a little nervous about the e-bike tour after reading the pre trip descriptions of the daily rides. So on the first day I was very pleased with the results of that day's ride. It was a challenging uphill c;limb filled with switchbacks, but the e-bikes made it possible to make it to the top of the uphill section with energy to spare for the long downhill run. This positive experience was reinforced with each ride, especially when we did a 60km ride later in the trip. Again my e-bike carried me through a challenging ride through a long uphill section followed by a long downhill run. Our guides Bubbi and Nicky looked after us and made the whole experience very special.

As well as the biking the food was top notch thanks to our terrific chef. The whole experience added up to one of the best vacations I have ever had.

Biking throughout the islands was majestic and the views were breath taking. There were certainly some steep parts but the e-bikes made them very doable. The guides were super friendly and knowledgeable about the local environment and culture. The atmosphere on the boat was super friendly and relaxed.

People!! Do this trip!!! What an amazingly beautiful country and what a wonderful way to see it. Every time we'd go around a corner we'd say there's no way we could see something more beautiful than that. And then, we'd go around the next corner and it would take our breath away. This country is beautiful, clean and safe. The yacht Harmonia is everything they say it is and more. The crew is top notch, the food was wonderful and we felt very welcome. We had professional and attentive guides that did an excellent job of pivoting when the weather occasionally threw us a curve ball. (Thank you Dora and Alan! You were great!) The E bikes were in excellent condition and perfect for the sometimes hilly terrain. They smartly booked all english speaking guests on the same trip and we all bonded beautifully. It's so fun to be in a group with like minded people all experiencing the same thing for the first time. All in all we felt we got great value for dollar, will highly recommend Tripsite, and will book another trip with them in the future.

OMG amazing!!
We were trying to settle on one word along this journey to describe this trip. Part way through we chose "Stunning" however, on completion
this had changed to "Epic". Its difficult to zero in on a memorable part of the trip when it offered so many. the Harmonia was
a beautiful and spotlessly clean motor yacht. Our cabin on the main deck was a good size and very comfortable. The crew was hard working, courteous
and very professional who always made us feel special and safe. This along with wonderful meals, knowledgeable guides and gorgeous scenery made a trip we will talk about for years. Also, booking with TRIPsite was a pleasurable, professional and seamless experience - thus "EPIC"!
This will be the word going forward when we discuss this trip with our many friends and those we casually meet along the way.
Hennie, it was such a joy to have you join us on the trip and share your many travel experiences...

The most memorable part of the trip was the scenery and the tour guides that TripSite arranged to give us challenging routes which allowed for gaping at and stopping for photo opportunities. My tip is to have sleeveless biking tops as well as a true waterproof jacket, so you are prepared for any weather. We had e-bikes with comfortable seats, but I would suggest bike shorts with a pad for the longer rides.
The second most memorable part was the food, local favorites and 3-course meals and olive oil sampling with cheese and tomatoes and bread!
Last, I signed up as a single and appreciated TripSite encouraging everyone to alternate what table they sat at; therefore, we met so many new people from all over the world.

Experiencing the beauty of Croatia, swimming in the Adriatic, getting to know others from around the world and sharing laughs with our fabulous guides.

I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort and cleanliness of the boat, nice air conditioning (which was critical in August) and the quality of the food. The crew was extremely hard working and did everything to try to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our guides (Filip and Bubi) were fantastic and made our trip extra special. They followed the protocols to make sure we stayed safe but were also flexible when the weather conditions did not cooperate; they were able to switch plans seamlessly and find activities that were fun and enjoyable. They also both had wonderful senses of humor and made us laugh throughout the trip. I give them the highest rating of all!

A couple of suggestions:

1) Allow passengers to bring their own wine/spirits on the boat. I realize that this is a money making venture for the boat Read More

What a spectacular trip on the Harmonia starting in the old city of Dubrovnik, thru the Beautiful Dalmatia Islands and ending in Split. The entire Harmonia crew were delightful and very talented/professional. They more than made our home on board comfortable and welcoming. Our cabin was just the right size, and there was plenty of room on the ship to socialize or relax on our own. The food was delicious, and galley staff were wonderful and very accommodating. The ship's captain and crew made the ride through the sea and ports incredibly smooth.
Our Islandhopping bicycle guides, Edi and Tara, were very knowledgeable and made biking thru the hills, coastlines and villages both extremely fun, safe and interesting.The ebikes made it all the more enjoyable, so the hills and distances were exercise, but still felt like vacation!
I would definitely take this type of trip to any destination with the Harmonia, Edi and Tara again :)

The last bike ride on Brac where we made several stops, especially the visit to the olive mill. The guides were awesome and made the rides and time on the boat fun. Making friends with other travelers was also memorable.

We loved our vacation on the Harmonia! The crew was wonderful. The ship was awesome and the food was delicious. Tara and Edi, our tour guides were awesome! They knew the bike tour routes well and let us know what to expect and made it fun. The e-bikes were great. Even though I’m not an avid bicyclist I was able to keep up. The only suggestion I would make is it would have been nice to have coffee available earlier in the morning. We will certainly consider taking another bike and boat tour. Croatia is stunning!

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip on Harmonia. The boat was kept spotless by a hardworking crew. Our lower cabin was very comfortable. Meals were tasty. The tour guides were super friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Be sure to take plenty of cash for water, drinks and tips.

I loves the turbo gear on my bike. I felt like Harry Potter on his broom every time I passed my fellow bikers on the hills. They were all calling me “turbo Nancy”. This is a adventure anyone can do!

The guide and crew were amazing. Views and history were interesting. I loved interacting with the local culture.

I would have liked to have spent more time in the villages and the beach stops. It felt a little rushed. Also, the last day would have been nice to stay on the last island, rather than going to Split and just docking.
