Split Tours in June 2027

The trip was everything I'd hoped for and more! From the stunning ancient streets of Dubrovnik to the serene beauty of the islands, every moment was perfectly curated. The itinerary struck a brilliant balance of cultural immersion, active exploration, and essential relaxation, allowing us to truly soak in the magic of Croatia. The organisation was flawless, and the local insights provided were invaluable. I loved every minute and would highly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in a truly breathtaking part of the world!

This trip was amazing! Our tour guide was absolutely incredible in giving us all of the information we needed. The bus drives were planned out well so we were never on them for too long before stopping. I would've liked to have more time in Split, but other than that, everything was the perfect amount of time and I would highly recommend this trip.

Just back from Europe and more than happy to provide a very positive review of the 'Croatia and Dalmatian Coast' tour operated by Back Roads Touring. We had a wonderful time on our tour, which was made all the more enjoyable by our truly outstanding guide, Justin, and talented (if quiet) driver, Senad. Nothing was too much trouble for Justin and he was attentive, informative, considerate and caring (& that continued even after the tour was over). Our tour companions were all from Australasia and were very enjoyable and entertaining company. It made for a very happy tour. Justin kept us informed at all times particularly with his morning WhatsApp messages and weather report and keeping an eye on all of us to make sure we did not get "misplaced". We had not been to Croatia before and the tour gave us an overview of the stunning scenery and history of the Dalmatian Coast. The pace of the tour was great giving a short specialist tour at various historic towns and then time to oneself to for further discovery and dining. The accommodation was generally very good although in Dubrovnik the hotel is quite a way from the Old Town. Dubrovnik is a wonderful and historic but draws a big crowd. Split was probably more enjoyable because it was more relaxed. The included breakfasts were extensive and the included dinners were generally great (although the first one in Split was not of the same quality as the rest). The group activities of cooking class and winery visits were generally very good and added to the understanding of the area and its people. Overall a really good tour and introduction to the Dalmatian Coast, made excellent by the efforts of our guide, Justin. (& by the general goodwill and positive outlook of our touring companions).

Croatia is very beautiful country with breathtaking sights. Our guide, Ivica is an outstanding tour guide. He provided us with a good introduction to the country because of his exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge. He impressed us with his warm demeanour and clear passion for sharing Croatia’s rich history, culture, and natural beauty. His insights brought each location to life, turning every stop into a memorable experience. Beyond his extensive knowledge, what truly sets him apart is his kindness, helpful nature, and unwavering patience. Whether navigating scenic towns or trekking through nature trails, he made sure everyone felt safe, informed, and included. He paid close attention to each guest, ensuring no one ever felt rushed or left behind — a true mark of a guide who leads with heart and responsibility.

Lovely trip to a beautiful country. Wild flowers in the mountains were a particular delight. The guide Ivica was great. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about everything he showed us as well as being interested to learn from the clients as well. All in all the trip surpassed expectations.

David our tour guide and Boze (our bike support person) were amazing! What a lovely itinerary complemented only by the luck of having a great group of participants. What a memorable experience.!! The only thing I would hope for would be more hours in the day! I would LOVE to do this tour again. I selected the ebike option for our tour in early June which was nice to allow for a little help when the hills were steep. For reference, I am 57, consider myself a moderate rider and am in decent shape (strength train 5-7 days a week amd walk daily). I did NOT train specifically for a bike tour of this distance. This ride on the two more challenging ride days proved difficult for most. I did finish all of the rides and it was so fun on an ebike!! In summary, for the whole tour, 2 of the manual bike cyclists chose to finish all of the rides and 3 of the ebike cyclists did (I was one of them). 14 participants (5 had ebikes, 9 were manual) chose to finish all of the rides. It was nice that there were options for participants to opt out of some of the riding if they chose, and they were able to enjoy the towns we were in as an alternative, and reconnect with the group at the end of the day. I can't say enough about our tour leaders, their patience and kindness and the support they offered. We didn't need to plan a thing, just showed up!
