The crew was wonderful; the guides and Goldy especially, as they were who we mainly interacted with. Everything was well-explained regarding our day’s ride and consideration was taken for the various levels of riders. The food was good, if a bit salty for my taste, but the coffee wasn’t very good. The cappuccino machine was broken and I know we were the last trip, so fixing it at that point didn’t make sense, but just saying. All in all, I loved my experience and would/will book another trip with you. Thanks!

The biking, the boat, the food. The great people and the guides

The concept of cycling by day and sailing between rides works very well. Our two guides were excellent. They were able to adjust the routes according to the weather forecast thereby achieving 5 days of dry and (mostly) sunny cycling. They were also very safety conscious. The boat was clean. The cabin was quite small but with adequate storage. The en suite shower worked well. Meals were very good. The bikes were not in the best condition, unlike the ones on our last boatandbike tour. Along with other guests we had anticipated Breakfast and Dinner on board with either a packed lunch or finding a café during the day. A large cooked lunch on 2 days didn’t work as well. €25 pp for water is frankly excessive. Paying in cash on the boat seems very dated. Overall a wonderful week.

Tara and Sjerd were excellent tour guides. They adjusted the rides to accommodate the weather and made special arrangements with operators (ex wine tasting) for our group. They were cognizant of the wide range of cyclists experiences and were able to accommodate everyones needs. The cook was outstanding, albeit and bit too much food! The quality and presentation of meals was excellent. The bartender was very engaged with cyclist too.

We enjoyed our bike and boat in Croatia. Great trip, boat and crew.

Our Guides Evan and Alan were well prepared and the best adult babysitters i have ever seen. :) The whole tour was fantastic!

Not only was Croatia beautiful but, we loved our crew, guides and other passengers. It was a fantastic trip!!!

Tour guides Srdan and Stefan were outstanding ambassadors of Croatia and led a well paced, beautiful biking and boating experience. They shared their first had knowledge of the islands, were very professional and attentive to every bicyclist’s needs. They were excellent communicators about the schedule and upcoming daily rides and boat route. The behind the scenes schedule coordination was seamless and made for a smooth trip from start to finish. Loved that they coordinated tours of the some of the historic sites. Hats off also to the chefs and server who were extremely accommodating of a variety of diets. Food was delicious! We had such a wonderful time and wouldn’t change a thing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through the Dalmatian Islands in Croatia. The guides were super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They genuinely seemed to care that everyone had a great time. The days were filled with a perfect balance of challenging bike rides with beautiful scenery, touring cute villages, swimming in the Adriatic and great food and fun on the boat.

The experience was wonderful, the guides and crew on Papa Priva were excellent yet others on the boat that signed up with Island hopping were given more details about the trip than we were from boat and bike tours. It would be helpful to tell guests to bring snorkel gear, towels and to be prepared to have cash for tips, bar etc.
