Split Tours and Trips

This trip was a stunning introduction to the spectacular Dalmation Coast of Southern Croatia. Each of the four cycling days - encompassing the islands of Hvar and Korcula and the Peljesac peninsula - seem to surpass one another, culminating in the heavenly bike path that is the Vinegorje Dingac. The latter will occupy my dreams for years to come. Even the accommodations had breathtaking views of the sun dappled and island-dotted Adriatic. Having previously lived in Italy, we were pleasantly surprised at the level of preservation, cleanliness and friendliness of the Dalmatian community. This area is truly a jewel. Wonderful food (especially fresh sea food) and drink (especially for wine connoisseurs) add to the quality of this itinerary. The October weather was perfect, sunny and in the 60s F, and the roads were quiet. Dubrovnik was still busy, but manageable.

Fantastic tour of the Croatian coast with Explore, everything was expertly organised and we were looked after so well by our tour leader Nela and our support driver/mechanic Zoran. Be warned that on the two hardest days there are very steep and prolonged hills to navigate but you can take them at your own pace so achievable by all our group who were a great bunch of like-minded cyclists. A brilliant trip from start to finish!

The Dalmatian Coast is a real treat for cyclists. Eye-popping views and jaw dropping descents made this trip truly memorable. The history of Croatia from the ancient Greeks to the present day is evident throughout the trip.

Tour leader ( Nela) and support van driver ( Zoran) were amazing on this trip . Nothing was too much trouble for them in assisting the group on this tour . E bikes provided on this tour were lower end quality but thanks to support van battery life was not an issue . Hotels were basic with no whistles and bells . The option of group dinners for solo travellers every evening would be a welcome addition to this tour.

Unfortunately I lost my prescription glasses. Our guide was diligent in having someone from the office visit the ferry to see if they had been found. I requested a letter from Explore saying we had searched for the lost glasses and my guide said the company would not send me a letter. Without the letter I cannot do an insurance claim. The glasses cost over $1000.

Excellent trip featuring the highlights of Northern Croatia. From the stunning National Parks to the beautiful coast. Well organised itinerary with a good balance of organised activities and free time. Unfortunately the weather was a little unkind in the middle of the trip so we couldn’t complete some of the intended walks, but our fantastic tour leader Ivica came up with some alternatives to make the most of our time. Accomodation was very good. Spacious and modern rooms. Clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfasts. Great locations. Would highly recommended for anyone that likes to get into nature and explore what this beautiful country has to offer.
