Review: Dubrovnik & the Dalmatian Coast Deluxe Bike & Sail
Our team really appreciates receiving wonderful reviews from active travellers who have had an incredible time on their active holiday in Europe. So it was no surprise that we were delighted to read about Lara Bec's recent trip, when she journeyed on the
Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Coast Deluxe Bike and Sail tour.
"The bike and boat trip of the Dalmatian coast and Dubrovnik was an amazing, hopefully not a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Absolutely the best way to see the country.
I was concerned about being able to do all the hills so went with the ebike and, although they were well loved, they were in excellent operating condition and great to learn on. You can do anything with an ebike. Now I want one.
Every island was so clean and lovely with all the limestone. Being on a boat in each of the ports was an experience, with the calm and beauty of each of the towns/villages, with Dubrovnik being the only big city. We saw amazing sites and witnessed wonderful sunrises and sunsets.
October was a great time to go with the warm weather, the warmer water and less people as the season was winding down. We know that we lucked out on the weather, missed the rain, and it was warmer than average.
We swam in the beautiful, super clear, blue waters of the Adriatic in all sorts of places and went on tours of some of the most historical places I've seen. The boat was so lovely and well maintained, with a good crew that was always approachable and helpful and seemed to go above and beyond for us.
The food was amazing and there so much of it, unfortunately, you won't lose weight on this trip. I can't say enough good things about the guides though, who were top notch. Friendly, helpful, full of knowledge, wonderful people and super professional. They, and the boat crew, work so hard to put this trip on for everyone.
Part of the experience was getting to know them well as well as all the other participants, who were from varied places like Australia, Britain, the US and Canada with varied ages, I believe, all over 50 on this trip. I hope there's some long term friends there as we all shared such a great experience. Would do this again in a heart beat.
