Everything was wonderful. We had the best guides ever—super knowledgeable and very fun: Edy and Ana. The crew was great and the chefs presented amazing meals with their enthusiastic magic. Each island was a delight for riding—and I loved using an e-bike even though I don’t normally ride one at home. The islands are quite hilly and the scenery was more readily absorbed without any struggling!! On top of all that, the Harmonia is gorgeous and we had great opportunities to swim directly from it when it was anchored, as well as opportunities to enjoy refreshing swims during the rides. I highly recommend this trip!

From start to finish, we had an amazing trip. The weather in Croatia was spectacular the entire week. The beautiful Bellezza was so comfortable with a friendly Captain and Croatian crew that spoiled us with delicious food, a spotless ship and smiles at the bar every day from our servers Antonia and Bruna. The ship had many common areas and there was always a space to be social or to just be alone if you wanted to. We honestly felt like we were on our own private yacht for the week.
Our guides Nikolina and Kristofor shared so much knowledge of their country and the islands we visited, all while keeping us safe and accommodating the guests on board however they could. We were lucky to have a group of cyclists aboard who immediately bonded with one another and we all enjoyed having coffee, drinks and meals together and chatting during our rides and swim stops.

Our trip was from Dubrovnik to Split. The seas were calm, the water is clear and beautiful for swimming and the islands are so scenic. Our tour was full with 32 people on board and we all had e-bikes. I cannot imagine taking on the hills we encountered without one. The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained and everyone had a large pannier which would fit whatever you needed for the day. Each ride included at least one “coffee stop”, where you could refuel and use a bathroom at a local cafe. Otherwise, restrooms were few and far between. Several of the rides included an optional swim, which many people took advantage of, and brought bathing suits and towels along on the ride. Docking each night was interesting as we were almost without exception docked several boats deep, meaning people had to walk through our boat to get to theirs or visa versa. This was not a problem, but just shows how popular the ports are.

I’ve done a lot of riding in some beautiful places, but these rides were the most scenic I have ever done. The hill climbs (a lot of elevation gain, but quite manageable with the many e-bike settings) led to spectacular views that awed us every single day. You should have road riding experience as there is some traffic on the islands and getting out of the busier ports on the bike means paying attention, as does riding along steep drop-offs that only sometimes have guard rails.

I can honestly say that this Highlights of Dalmatia Plus trip was one of, if not the best vacation I’ve ever been on.

Perfect way to experience the Croatian Islands. Everything was wonderful about our week on board the Harmonia. The food was excellent. The guides were knowledgeable and good hosts.

The boat, the food, the staff and the guides.
We had a very good group of cyclist this trip. No accidents, very safe first.
Food excellent, kitchen staff very friendly. Crew were very accomodating and I even had a Engineroom tour what was very nice for an ex Merchant Marine Engineer. The tourguides very enthusiastic and full of energy. The Islands very nice for cycling, food and very interesting to visit. We have done a Boat and Bike in Holland. We missed on the trip, salty snacks after the rides. The more cosy atmosfeer of the self service for drinks, coffee and tea. I think for the company saving money on staff?

Our boat and bike tour onboard the Harmonia with Filipino and Anton (Bubi) in Croatia blew my mind. It was awesome! Most fun, most beautiful, most friendly, most active, and it blew my expectations away! Docking nightly at cities and being able to go out and wander was delightful. Our guides made everything top notch fun. Filipino and Bubi are an exceptional team! The crew was so friendly and accommodating and prepared gourmet meals. Best trip ever!

Great route, great ebikes, great crew, great food, great biking guides, great swimming

Croatia is a very pleasant and clean country to visit. The scenery is spectacular and the water is so clean The history is amazing and the people were so kind and approachable.

Exceeded my expectations! The trip (Highlights of Dalmatia) in Croatia was fantastic. We had a great group as well as FANTASTIC guides (can’t say enough about Kresho and Alen) and crew. I highly recommend an ebike as most in our group chose. Ultimately even those who originally started on a hybrid (very fit folks) changed to an ebike to manage the 11k feet of total climb. The boat (Harmonia) was a great size for our group of 29, the beds were comfortable, and the bath was bigger than I expected. I have two minor complaints – we weren’t allowed to bring our own wine on board (even with a corkage fee), and I would have liked fresh towels more frequently (exchanged only once during the trip). Overall, I highly recommend this trip and will be planning more boat/bike trips in the future!

My trip was excellent. The boat. The guides. The crew. Fantastic doesn’t even approach how wonderful However to be honest your shortfall is detailing how difficult the biking is Please emphasize that this is an e-bike ride. This is not a hybrid experience. I am an avid & trained biker & the hybrids are a very poor choice for this degree of difficulty

The guides were fantastic and the ship was beautiful. Would have enjoyed longer cycling days.
