What people love about Croatia Tours in October
- Croatian islands cruise + Land tour with Plitvice - from Zagreb
I recommend that you avoid using Hotel Corner in Split. Location not the best, but not a real problem as I was just overnighting. But extremely noisy, being at intersection of busy crossroads, no restaurant for dinner (but I found a very good one nearby, not the one recommended by the hotel), and possibly not breakfast set up for Western Europeans (no butter etc).
- Cycling Croatia's Dalmatian Coast
Very enjoyable tour. Both Dino (guide) and Tommy (our driver) looked everyone very well. Scenery beautiful and this style of tour allowed the group to really cherry-pick the best riding.
- 6-Day Dalmatian Luxury Cycling Tour
This was an amazing experience. 8 of us from Arizona and California decided to celebrate my 50 bday biking through Croatia. There are many choices for Croatia bike tours, some better and some not so great. It was early in the season and we did not want to go through a company that acts just as a booking agent or subcontracts its tours. We settled on Laganini and talked directly to one of the owners. All questions and concerns were adequately addressed (some members in our group had dietary preferences, others wanted to make sure that the accommodations were a step higher than what is normally offered on bike tours. After all, we are on vacation.... Our guide Tonci had grown up in the area, was knowledgeable and showed us places that I had not seen before (or heard of), despite having vacationed in middle Dalmatia for more than 10 years. Flawless organization, pickup from the airport, perfect and newer bikes, great support for the occasional technical problem (few other than an occasional flat tire). It was a truly enjoyable tour and we will be back for more.
