    · June 10th, 2025
    Perfect cycling week: good equipment, very professional and friendly supervision. We particularly appreciated the excellent organization at all levels, not to mention the top-notch kitchen staff with great meals. Consider taking a private guided tour of Split on Friday afternoon before heading back—it's fascinating. - Welcome : 5/5 (Excellent) - Boat : 4/5 (Very Good) - Quality/Price : 4/5 (Very Good) - Destination : 4/5 (Very Good)
