Split Tours in May 2026

Love the exposure to the architecture , love the exposure to culture, and love the exposure to traveling with a great group of people from all over the world and ALWAYS, a fantastic CEO!

This was my first solo trip and my first experience with Back Roads. I combined two tours Croatia & Dalmation Coast & Adriatic Discovery and absolutely loved both. The small groups, fabulous Guides & drivers and the locations we visited & places we stayed were amazing! So it's a big yes, I highly recommend Back Roads.

A well planned itinerary that gives the opportunity to see beautiful parts of Croatia that most tourists would not get to. I particularly liked that all the hotels were in less busy areas on the coast with lots of opportunities for swimming in the sea. As expected (from the trip notes) the rooms in all the hotels were a bit dated but the great locations made up for this. The cycling is one day easier, one day harder, one day easier, one day harder etc - relatively short distances but it is undulating, with one day with a lot of long climbs, for this reason I selected an e bike which made the trip very manageable. Our group was a mix of 4 e bikes and 9 on regular bikes, half from UK and half from Australia. We all got on well and were similar level of cyclist so the group dynamic worked really well. Our group leader David and support person Boza were both exceptional. David is a very experienced cyclist and kept the group together at a relaxing pace and was very good at keeping us safe when crossing junctions etc, he arranged 3 group meals and a local wine tasting and was very open and friendly sharing lots of information about Croatia. Boza went above and beyond in making sure our bikes were ready to go and was always following with the support van with supplies of water and snacks or ready to fix any mechanical niggles. The support van was available if anyone wanted a lift to the top of the steeper climbs. The rest of the transport (ferries and mini-buses) was also well organised. Highly recommend this trip!

Very interesting history and beautiful landscapes and architecture. I am not a good historian, so it was helpful and impactful to hear from locals that have lived through the difficult times that have occurred (Bosnian war for one). This type of tour is made that much more enjoyable having a local guide. I know that I would not have come away with the same experience had I just travelled on my own.

This tour was fantastic Solvenia and Croatia are really worth visiting, really interesting places to visit, the accommodation was good to very good and plenty of free time to explore as we pleased. Our tour guide and driver were the best, extremely knowledgeable and caring. The Adriatic coast is very beautiful and a lot of our group said they would make it a destination for another visit. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour as we have enjoyed all the Back Road tours we have done. Thanks to a great team. Lurley

The sailing adventure was scenic and relaxing. The weather cooperated so we had some good sailing days! Highlights were exploring the harbour towns, dining on the local cuisine and wine tasting. Our skipper, Luka, made it a fun experience.
