This was our 3rd bike tour with boat bike. first 2 were in the Netherlands, this one was in Croatia with a partner of Boat Bike called island hopping. What i liked: – Food was terrific – Boat was excellent – Afternoon sails were very enjoyable What could be better – Maintenance of bikes was not good. We were a group of 32 people who all new each other. On the first day of biking there were numerous issues with the bikes – underinflated tires, wobbly tires, Batteries not fully charged causing some to pedal E bikes with no E, Seats that wouldnt stay in place, someones pedal fell off. – each day the biking seemed rushed. Instead of stopping alot to enjoy the terrific scenery – it felt like a rush to complete the biking – on day 2, people got lost. Not enough corners were placed. too many times people came to a fork in the road with no clear direction – the main person working the bar did not seem that happy/friendly. Each time i asked for a cup of ice or a drink, it felt like i was bothering him. I ended up buying my own ice than deal with him. – Last day of biking was down right dangerous. We left Trogir and crossed a bridge to another island. Road was poor quality and full of traffic. Someone fell and nearly got run over. This day was not even on the agenda – Our boat followed another boat each day. So instead of our boat coming into port each day by ourselves, we always had another boat pull up next to us. An extra 30 bikers. Also was noisy having another boat tied up to us at all times. – Tour guides were OK but when asked what we were going to do each day, they would not tell us anything in advance – very strange compared to my first 2 trips with Boat and Bike. our first 2 trips with Boat Bike were excellent. This one felt like a different company with a different approach and attention to detail. If this was my first boat bike tour i probably would not have done another. I will stick with tours operated by boat bike themselves and not a partner
