cycling the Dalmatian Coast

I really enjoyed the itinerary. The scenery was excellent, the hotels choices were good as well.
The hotel in Split (hotel Bellevue) on Day 1 was a bit rough around the edges but it was in a fantastic location. All the other hotels were great choices and great locations too.
I did find the last day of cycling too easy and too short. This was only 20k and it should have been at least 40k for a level 3 trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

The experience of cycling through the towns and through vineyards and seeing the locals do things all by hand and the natural beauty really made it special for me.

Thoughts on Group Leader

our Leader Boyjan was very good. He was very knowledgeable and fun to ride with. He encouraged the ones that needed extra help doing those hills and was always available to ask questions etc.

Advice for Potential Travellers

the one thing that i might say is make sure you know how to "ride" a bike. Everyone knows how to ride but does not really know how to maneuver the gears and how to take a hill up or down. A quick lesson at a bike shop might be a good idea before you leave you you understand how a bike works. not everyone knew how to "ride" a bike in my group and it caused a bit of stress for some until they understood their bike.

Great trip

A very good option for a week in Europe. The islands between Split and Dubrovnik are beautiful and in May there was very little traffic.

Most Inspirational Moment

The day in Mljet was one of the highlights of the trip, stunning ride around the lake.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Marin was a brilliant tour leader, knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do choose the Mljet option, it was a great day out. Arrive a day early and stay in Split for a night, it is a beautiful city. May is a great time to go, less traffic and not too hot. Hotels are typical 3 star, but they all had hot water, comfortable beds and a bar!

Good description of the holiday

The cycling holiday was excellent. The mix of exercise, downtime and cultural visits was just about perfect.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting Korcula Old Town and climbing the 10K hill on the first day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide, Mario, was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and was very patient with a group of widely varying capabilities.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would agree with the description of the week’s holiday as moderate activity level overall but there are a couple of days that are quite challenging for novice or irregular cyclists.

Discovering Croatia

What an adventure, biking in a country that I hardly knew existed. Croatia is beautiful, almost untouched by the human hands that have sullied much of the urban areas here.
Biking there was very challenging by this senior, but also very rewarding. Allen Skulic, the group leaded was an excellent guide. Allen is very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. But most important he was very encouraging and supportive. I don’t think I could’ve completed this cycling adventure without his words of encouragement.
I will forever remember the scenic views cycling through the many small cities, farm lands and biking up and down the many mountain roads. Also, memorable was the many ferries that we took to the many islands that we biked. The lunches and dinners were exceptional; the wines superb.

Most Inspirational Moment

The feeling of accomplishment on the first full day riding 10 kilometers up a mountain road. I have never done anything that compares to that experience.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Allen Skulic was absolutely wonderful. He was so knowledgeable, passionate, encouraging and fun.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Prepare yourself for the ride of a lifetime.

Must see Croatia

This trip is a must do! Croatia is not only beautifully scenic, its people are friendly and most speak english. The ride is challenging but doable. If you’re looking for adventure and beautiful, friendly country, this one’s for you.

Most Inspirational Moment

Day 1 is a bit of a challenge with a 10k uphill climb. Be ready for this but everyone on our trip completed it and we were rewarded with a delicious meal at the top.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was Alan. He has a real enthusiasm for cycling and is excited to show you his country.

Highly recommended!

My husband and I have just returned from this cycle trip and we can highly recommend it to anyone thinking of doing the same. Alan, the tour leader, was outstanding and I just hope he gets paid enough! We had a lovely group with mixed ages and four lovely Canadians and a very helpful, smiley driver, Tommy. Slightly better hotels could improve the trip and, yes, better coffee and orange juice for breakfast.

Cycling

The brochure tells you about the scenery etc but until you get there whow! It’s a trip you must do the scenery ,roads and great guide will bring you to places you would never get to on another trip. Our guide ALan and driver Marion were great ensuring everyone was catered for. The first two day cycling a little challenging but after that it was down hill. We visited local areas off the beaten track tasted great food.Just a note when buying fish in restaurants just check it’s not sold by the weight! October a great time to go not too hot very pleasant for cycling and exploring villages.

Wonderful way to see a beautiful country

This Croatian trip was a wonderful mix of unspoilt countryside, sparkling clear seas and historical walled towns and cities. It was also a good mix of fairly challenging hills, flatter coastal roads and time for rests in cafes, ferries and short trips in the minibus. Our guide Alan organised and managed the whole holiday very skilfully, with good support from our driver. The ice creams were the best I’ve tasted since being in Italy, and the seafood and roast vegetables were also a highlight.

Most Inspirational Moment

I was inspired by people on the trip, not only because they were older on average than on other trips (mid/late 50s to late 60s) and doing well on the rides, but also dealing well with challenges in their lives.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alan our guide Alan was excellent, he was patient, thoughtful, encouraging, helpful, amiable, good humoured, made good decisions, very well organised without rushing us and explained clearly our route and day ahead.

Advice for Potential Travellers

October is a good time of year to go, not too hot but still warm, we had day temperatures around 20-25C.

Breathtaking scenery and super smooth cycling!

It really was as described on the label – fabulously clear seas teeming with fish, gorgeous vistas of islands, vines and historic villages, with hidden gems of frescos and facades. We rolled out over beautiful quiet lanes and trails, reassured with water and snack stops and very clear landmarks enabling us all
To reach our destination in our own time having enjoyed sun drenched countryside and seascapes. Thanks to Alan and Marion it all ran like clockwork- just time for super gelato before a ferry, light fading as we entered old Dubrovnik enhancing the city’s beautiful architecture. Lovely fish, more fish and pork kebabs overlooking beautiful ports. What’s not to like! Give it a go….

Reaching the first tough summit and realising I am still pedalling the bike with gentle encouragement!

Early October weather was perfect- warm enough still to Enjoy a week of fresh air and swims . We saw one amazing storm from the van but we’re back on bikes within the hour riding home happily!
