A fantastically well planned trip with enough challenges and excitement to suit all ages and abilities. Myself and my partner are moderate cyclists and found the trip to be everything we wanted and more. Our tour guide (Ana) took us to some amazing places and gave us a really cultured experience. With the most beautiful scenery imaginable and a really sustainable approach to travel. Whats not to love??
Cycling the 50k stretch along Hvar island and being overtaken by people twice my age! they were an inspiration!
Ana was the perfect leader. She was confident, well organised and had a great sense of humour and adventure that got the whole group together and kept us all cycling.
Take some padded shorts and a camera - The views are stunning!
This is described as moderate but there are some long steep hills. Don’t let this put you off as the guide gets you all to the top. This is how you feel achievement. You can always hitch a ride in the van on the worst bit.
We were not seasoned cyclists and didn't even own bikes but had gone "spinning" at the gymn. Therefore getting to the top of long hills was our great achievement.
Ana Kunstek was our group leader. Ana was a strong leader and extremely organised and punctual. Because of this everything worked like clockwork. She picked great value hotels, not posh but good enough. She sought restaurants run by families to provide authentic home made food. Nothing was too much trouble q her. She had a great sense if fun and was great company. We felt safe with Ana.
If you are considering this holiday just do it. If the odd hill is too much get in the van for a while. Take padded cycling pants and a gel seat cover if you are softies like us. The scenery is stunning so pack your camera. We added a week in Dubrovnik after the cycling.
This trip was a 12 out of 10. The group of 16 gelled very well. The ages ranged from the 30s to upper 70s.
The guide, Ana was very personable. We could travel at our own speed and there was plenty of time to savor our surroundings.
Making it to the top of the long hills without dismounting.
Ana was awesome. Very knowledgeable of the countryside. Knew all the good restaurants. Very personable.
Very enjoyable trip, expertly guided by Alan, taking in stunning scenery along pretty quite roads with great food and company along the way.
Handling the climbs - I was a bit worried about those beforehand as I've never been on a cycling holiday before and don't go out with a cycling club at home
Excellent leader, very patient and attentive.
Just go for it .
The views, the hills, the people and the food all make for an amazing trip
Cycling up the 11.5 km hill in Hvar and reaching the top with a outstanding view of the Adriatic sea
Ana was amazing. She was one of the most organized persons I've met and went way out of her way to do extra stuff for the group
Bring cushioned seats
I am an experienced Exodus traveller, and this was my 16th trip. The invitation to review was addressed to my husband Robin (Robert), and I am completing the Review as Amanda Hubbard as I just wanted to say that this trip was one of the best. The cycling was indeed moderate and there was always space in the van to sit out a hill.There were plenty of opportunities to visit such ancient towns as Split, Havar and Korcula and to sightsee and swim in the clear sea. There were coffee breaks and the food was excellent with great lunch stops and dinners at well chosen restaurants at night. Plus our guide, Marko Mitic, was top-rate – as were Michele on our Sardinian bike trip and Radu in Tuscany. So if you want to cycle and really see the Dalmatian Coast, book this holiday.
But do pay attention to the warnings about Croatian hotels in the Trip Notes. They are a little better than Cuban hotels but comparable. Our rooms at the hotel at Jelsa (where we arrived tired from our journey at about 11pm on our first day) were very inconvenient to access and others in our group remarked on the septic tank smell!!! But the beds were comfortable and the view and swimming incomparable. The second hotel at Lumbarda was comfortable and fun and the Dubrovnik hotel was in a restful location.
Every day was inspirational - I didn't want the holiday to end. 1.When we arrived we drove to Split, walked round the port and the UNESCO Diocletian Palace, where we had dinner and then boarded the ferry (the terrific thunder storm at sea was great fun). This was a taste of the "delights" to follow! 2.The beauty of the rugged and rocky Dalmatian coasts and the charming little villages nestled along the coastlines. We were island hopping taking numerous ferries and our excellent driver got us everywhere on time. Particularly enjoyed the cycle rides (often through vineyards - there was even a tunnel!) around the islands of Hvar, Korcula, and Mljet, although a couple of gravel roads were a challenge for me - but one can get off the bike. 3. The architecture, charm and beauty of the Stari Grads of Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik and the history. Loved the walk round Dubrovnik town walls and the views of the now repaired rooftops and the sea - best done early in the morning. The bus trips into town were fun and even getting lost! 4. The fresh food and restaurants, especially the Konoba Mate at Pupnat, the organic lunch stop on the second day at the top of a hill overlooking the island of Brac and the restaurant down a backstreet in Dubrovnik, where we had our farewell dinner. And the Posip white wine of Korcula is DELICIOUS. Drinking this was perhaps my most inspirational moment(s) of the trip!!!
Charming, courteous and considerate of the group's needs. And very well organised and social. He supported and helped all 13 of us equally and accompanied us to the Airport at the end of the trip. I had 2 flat tires (back and front) and he changed each one efficiently. The second flat tire he noticed at an intersection, where he was waiting to make sure we took the correct turn, on a very steep road down to the sea - I was lucky! All 13 of us got on very well - which seems to happen on cycling tips and we had some good laughs. It was great that we had 2 Americans and 1 Canadian on the trip. And one of the most amusing moments, was when we were cycling back along the coast to Lumbarda on Korcula and we were overtaken by a group of very fast cyclists - they were on electric bikes! I couldn't understand why I was so slow until I realised.
This trip might not be suitable for avid cyclists. Even I, as an older, slightly anxious cyclist found the cycling rather too easy. We were always warned about the hills, but they were nothing compared with Sardinia and Tuscany, also classed as moderate holidays. Marko did allow one of our group to cycle independently at times, but he was the fastest and the only one who wanted to. Our optional day on the island of Mijet was fun, but the hordes of tourists made this my least favourite day. My guide book (NOT trip notes) said there were no cars, but there were lots. And it was not as relaxing as Hvar and Korcula. The swim was great though and my advice is to bring sandals or shoes to swim in as there are lots of sea urchins everywhere along the rocky coast and few sandy beaches. And if you are over 70 the Park entrance fee is less! Just enjoy the fabulous views, coastline, ancient towns and particularly the Posip wine! Travelling by bike is a great way to see Croatia.
A fun holiday, with fantastic views, beautiful secluded coastal villages, and enjoyable cycling.
Cycling up a long hill on the first morning, everyone making the top to have a fantastic lunch, cooked in local tradition. Then relaxing and getting to know the people in the group, back on the bikes for a downhill ride to a small harbour village. It set the scene for the rest of the holiday.
Our group leader was polite and helpful, he smiled and joked with the group, but was also aware of our safety whilst cycling and getting on and off the ferries. He was passionate about his country and it's history, a true professional in every sense, thus helping to make it an enjoyable holiday.
Don't expect 5star accommodation, the rooms were clean and tidy and adequate for your needs. Some of the hills were quite demanding, so be reasonably fit as it's worth it when you reach the top. Take in the breath taking scenery whilst cycling and ferry hopping, just go with the flow
Trip itself is very good , beautiful scenery, great tour guide – all well organized except misleading in itinerary stating it is ‘moderate’ biking. First days it’s mostly uphill, hills long up to 25 km….moderate ? unless you are well trained it’s a struggle and should be quoted as advanced biking to my opinion.
..friendly people, clean and hospitable country
Marko was exceptional leader, knowledgeable in every aspect, friendly and accommodating - always smiling. He made this trip even more memorable.
train - train - train....otherwise you are going to suffer ...those hills are brutal ;)
Great cycling, a couple of challenging hills. Lots of gorgeous scenery to look at. Clear blue waters, pine trees, simple lovely food. Recommended trip, even for infrequent cyclists
The day trip to the island of Mljet was brilliant, clear blue waters to swim in and quiet cycling
Krsto was knowledgeable and kept us laughing with a great sense of humour
This was a most excellent adventure that combined some of the most beautiful islands and coastline one will ever see and cycling that was challenging at times but not over the top.
The opportunity to have a group of eight friends from the USA be exposed to this beautiful countryside, the most friendly Croatian people and the exertion and rewards of doing some cycling amidst the fine meals and local wines.
Marko Mitic is a gem ! The trip was very well organized, he was a font of knowledge about Croatia, he was incredibly personable and engaged and he was always looking out for the clients. The trip would not have been the same, nor as memorable, without him. His organizing call of "guys, guys, guys" became the rallying cry throughout the trip. The man is a piece of work and he was most appreciated by all.
The trip notes, on reflection, were very accurate. The cycling, at least on the first two days, was more demanding in part than anticipated so it might be helpful to include the length of the "challenging" hills and the grade percentages. In the end it made no difference but it would have been good to have more of an appreciation of the climbs beforehand. My advice: "do this trip !"
