Beautiful country

The trip was well planned and executed by Exodus, the cycling was varied and contained just the right amount of challenge to make it interesting. Late September was a good time to visit as the days were sunny without being too hot and the evenings mild, places (with the exception of Dubrovnik) were not too busy either. Do take advantage of the free day to visit Mijet island – its well worth a visit and dont forget your swimming gear!

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the old City of Dubrovnik at twilight on our penultimate day. If you havent been it is a truly beautiful place. Do visit the hilltop overlooking Dubrovnik too - either by walking up or the cable car, there is an interesting Bosnian War museum there and a surprisingly good cliff top cafe (not for vertigo sufferers!) with stunning views.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mario was fairly new to the job but proved himself to be enthusiastic, hard working, good humoured and nothing was too much trouble for him. Very good leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Avoid the Hotel Sumratin in Dubrovnik if at all possible. At the time of our staying there it was ranked by Trip Advisor as 62 out of 68 hotels in Dubrovnik.

Recommend this (NOT EXPLORE - see below)

I would highly recommend this cycling holiday. Not only do you get to take in the breathe taking views and islands on 2 wheels, but there is plenty of time to relax and explore whilst providing a few challenging hills with the reward of a stunning view at the top!
Our guide Alan and driver Danny were attentive, informative and in my top tour leaders 🙂
With the support of the cycle trailer and a bus to accommodate anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to complete a hill (or if you are injured) there is comfort in knowing this tour is still a holiday and not a fitness challenge.
The island are beautiful, mainly tarmac back quiet roads, the locals friendly, the food delicious…..a few hotels were very dated and need of modernisation and I’m glad I left the trip early and didn’t spend 2 nights in the Dubrovnik accommodation.

I would add that I considered Explore tour and the 70km day put me off…..we saw this group along the way they arrived in at 8pm on their long day… and noted they did not have a support vehicle like Exodus and some of their group were not happy about this.

Full moon rising...our tour leader planned this perfectly

Thoughts on Group Leader

superb!

Advice for Potential Travellers

meals were a lot more expensive than I had budgeted for and the pre ordered food was sometime £10 - 15 for a lunch that was cheese, ham, bread and olives!

An outstanding cycle trip

If you’d like a highly scenic ride in a lovely country, then this is the trip for you. We cycled up and down hills with amazing sea views, and visited stunning towns, villages and vineyards. We stayed at some lovely places, swam in the sea and ate very well. Alan was one of the best leaders I’ve experienced, and our group was lovely. They ranged in age from 30s to 70s; some were strong cyclists, others not. However all were catered for, and the support bus was always available. There were no long transports, and the ferry trips were great. The climate was pleasantly hot, and the wine flowed.

Most Inspirational Moment

The islands were great, especially Korcula, and the town of Korcula- a medieval gem. Dubrovnik is unforgettable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alan was wonderful: kind, attentive, and highly knowledgeable, with a great sense of humour. On the road he ensured our safety, supported the weaker riders and also enabled the best riders to go for it!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't miss this

Sun, Sea & Scenery

This is our first Exodus trip , me and the wife fear we have experienced the best trip on our first tour!
This trip was outstanding.
The guide Marijo was fantastic, he is professional, knowledgeable and great fun! A real asset to Exodus. The trip is great for the leisure cyclist, mixing the right amount of cycling with sightseeing and socialising.
The country is truly beautiful, the people have a sunny temperament which matches the fantastic weather. We met a wonderful and diverse group of people, who were great company and a joy to holiday with. We are now already planning our next Exodus trip!

Most Inspirational Moment

So many it's hard to single one out. Mijet is a must, do not be tempted to take the rest day as it is a very gentle days cycling and you will miss out on a stunning island and a great day out. The first two days are the hardest but you do need to justify all the great food and drink you consume.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Marijo will be an impossible act to follow. He is so personable that any little problem with the ferries, restaurants etc are so smoothly dealt with that it all ends in handshakes and laughter. In danger of missing a connecting ferry which would have meant a three hour wait, he sweet talked a van driver in front of us to let us take his place on the ferry! Marijo is not just a guide but becomes part of the holiday group, great fun on and off duty! Truly an exceptional guide. Tome the driver needs a out shout as well. A very happy chap who couldn't do enough for everyone. He also distills a mean homemade grappa!!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not expect too much from the hotels and breakfasts! The holiday is great value for money. When you consider the amount of great staff care, great equipment, the cost of the ferries and the comfortable van used to carry us and the bikes, savings had to be made somewhere. This is a full on holiday so you do not spend any time at the hotels anyway! Best tip: most restaurants / bars don't like credit cards. So take cash or get it from ATMs

Beautiful scenery and great cycling

Loved this cycling holiday. Lots of great cycling in beautiful scenery with a knowledgeable and fun guide, Alan. Great group of people too!

Most Inspirational Moment

Loved the changing scenery and the switchbacks up and down the hills allowed you to drink in the views ahead and behind you.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alan was a great leader. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him.

Excellent week, lovely islands

This was an excellent trip, that we thouroughly enjoyed. The islands of Hvar, Korcula and Midjet are lovely. The cycling is fairly straightforward, with the first two being the most challenging.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cycling in the countryside of Korcula and Hvar.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had an excellent group leader (Alan) who was well experienced and very organised. He knew when to lead the group, and when to stay at the back. First class.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Some accommodation is not great. Dubrovnik is very busy, don't hang around there if you want to avoid the crowds. Go out to Split a few days early - do a bike tour or kayak tour, both excellent.uhebc

Cycling the Dalmation Coast - May 2017

Once again Exodus has delivered a fabulous holiday in a beautiful destination. We highly recommend this trip and could easily have spent more time cycling the islands and exploring the coast. The cycling was interesting with a variety of terrain – some long but not steep climbs, which meant some refreshing descents. The moderate rating felt right. We’ll definitely go back to explore Dubrovnik and other parts of Croatia. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough!

Most Inspirational Moment

It's difficult to decide on a single inspirational moment as Croatia proved to be a beautiful country with stunning scenery everywhere! Cycling along the coastal roads of Korcula and the vineyards of Peljesac Peninsula were particularly memorable - the views are spectacular. We walked to the top of cable car in Dubrovnik - well worth it for a magnificent view of the old city. We were blessed with excellent weather and great company with our group. This holiday was all the better for having people to share it with.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alan Skulic was excellent - well organised, knowledgeable, reassuring, calm, sociable and at ease with everyone in our group. Most of all, he had a great sense of humour - he understood the British sense of humour, apparently as a result of watching British comedy programmes when growing up.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Yes! Do it! It's a beautiful country and the holiday will stay in our memories forever. We are leisure cyclists and were a bit intimidated by the hill climbs but Alan was reassuring and supportive. We faced the challenge and feel much more confident about overcoming future cycling challenges. And we were rewarded with stunning scenery. The roads are quiet and the road surfaces are in much better condition than those at home, which again made cycling much more pleasurable. We highly recommend taking the optional trip to Mljet and the guided walk around Dubrovnik. Ana, our guide was excellent.

Cycling the Dalmation Coast

As a group of six ladies who are hobby cyclists, there was some in trepidation, but we needn’t have been concerned. The support of our guide, Marijo and the group, along with our driver, Dani, made for a highly enjoyable week and so much was packed in. We needed to cycle each day to work off the lovely food we ate each day

Most Inspirational Moment

For me the countryside was so beautiful. It was really quiet with not much traffic and the smells of cypress trees, rosemary and jasmine were just sublime. When there were hills ( and boy there were some!) the encouragement of the group was tremendous and don't forget at the top are some fantastic views, but a glorious ride down!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mario was so supportive to all the different abilities within our cycle group. Not once did he get impatient or make you feel awkward. He was always informative in his briefings without making you feel patronised. He could enjoy a laugh with the group and if there was any language barrier in the shops etc he was always there to help out. He especially sourced one restaurant for my croatian friend who wanted a particular dish and several craft beer cafe for our brewer friend. He was the element that made our holiday so special.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I am glad I took padded cycling shorts and although I had done some training before, perhaps I should have done more to be able to cycle all those hills. I did take the bus on one occasion but was never made to feel a failure. Make sure you're happy to cycle in some traffic although in Croatia it is quite quiet. Don't forget your cycling gloves (some in our group did). We also asked Exodus before we went if there were bike bags, they said no, but infact there were bags to sit on the front of your handle bars, very useful to carry sunscreen or jackets etc. Also take your own water bottle. Pack light, as you don't want to pack and unpack full suitcases.

Cycling in Croatia

Just brilliant !
Just beautiful!
Just about achievable for those that haven’t put in the training.
Just easy (ish)for those that have .
Just great people, guide , hotels, views, sea.
Just go !

Most Inspirational Moment

The guide encouraging someone to achieve cycling up THAT hill! And the smile that said they made it - to cheers from everyone.

Thoughts on Group Leader

You couldn't ask for better.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Put in some training if not a regular cyclist to prepare your legs for the hills.

Cycling the Dalmatian Coast

Excellent trip with an interesting bunch of people from all walks of life. We all had something to bring to the table.Had some great laughs and the leader was a good Captain guiding us to some amazing places.

Most Inspirational Moment

We visited Mijet and I loved it. The island was amazing and did some great swimming in the sea

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ana went over and above to meet all of the groups needs which were varied.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take padded shorts and a lot of change of clothes
