Split Tours and Trips

Fabulous trip. David, our tour leader was exceptional, very focussed making sure that everyone was safe but also having a fun time.. we also really appreciated Bozo in support, always with a friendly smile, encouragement, water and great snacks! Croatia is a beautiful place - the scenery was stunning!

The Balkans are such a special place. Rich in History, rich in lovely people. The trip despite some long driving is so worth it to discover these amazing countries. I loved every minutes of my trip, I would do it again!

Bike and Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. From checking in on day one to leaving on day eight, everything went smoothly. Even adverse wind conditions were handled by the crew, who altered the itinerary on the go to make it all happen. The guides, sailors, cooks and Captain made the holiday as good as it could have been.

The Dalmatian coast cycling trip was a beautiful adventure through the Croatian islands and mainland. David, the guide, was an expert at leading a large group with varying skill and focused on safety while also having fun. The coffee and lunch stops were in intriguing towns with interesting things to see. I wish we would have only made one stop per day, though, so there was more time to spend in one place. Often times we’d get to a town and have to choose between eating and sightseeing because there wasn’t time for both. The first hotel was very nice, the ones after left a bit to be desired. All breakfasts were delicious with a lot of variety. It should be noted that if you are not at least a somewhat avid cyclist, this trip is not for you. There were very inexperienced cyclists on this trip who were scared to death of descending and had no fitness for the longer climbs. It made it very difficult to keep a group of 16 together, and the lack of experience riding on roads was a detriment to the group. I must say David handled it all with poise and patience, but I am shocked at the inexperienced folks that signed up for this trip.

Got to see some beautiful cities, lakes and the ocean. Made some stops in tiny cities I would have never seen otherwise! The Budapest to Croatia leg of the trip doesn’t have too many long drives, the longest was 4-5 hours but the average long trip was 2 hours or so, very manageable. Great opportunities for free time and exploring if you want to break apart from the group for a few hours

This was a most excellent tour, both in terms of the itinerary which took us to a variety of gorgeous outdoor settings (including a gorge!) and in terms of its leadership by a Croatian guide. Our tour guide, Ivo, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, safety-conscious and sensitive to the local communities and natural environments through which we traveled. He was very patient and empathetic to the needs of our diverse group of tourists, while fostering a sense of community among us throughout the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!
