Trip Highlights
  • Ride some of the most challenging routes in Dalmatia while enjoying dramatic scenery.
  • Test your legs on Biokovo Mountain, the highest mountain in Dalmatia.
  • Enjoy a BBQ with homemade wine and grappa at Gary’s cousin’s sheep ranch!
  • Stay in quaint, family-run inns and hotels. Our small group offers a more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
Experience the pristine beauty of crystal clear Adriatic waters, lush islands, unspoiled fishing villages, beaches and vineyards and ride some of the most challenging routes in the Dalmatia region. Spectacular beauty, Roman ruins, medieval walled cities and fantastic cycling make Croatia a top bicycle tour destination.

During this tour, you’ll really feel like a local when we spend a very special evening at Gary's cousin's sheep ranch, where we'll get acquainted with the local culture and customs over a lamb BBQ! Our hotels and inns are located in some of the most picturesque towns and our two-night stays give you the best opportunity to explore the area.

What Our Guests Are Saying
" When I signed up to go on this trip, I knew I would have a good time but could never have imagined how incredible it truly would be! My expectations for all aspects of the trip were blown away!!! Thanks to Gary and Lise's dedication to perfection! It was a trip of a lifetime for me. I'm already planning my next trip with them."
Sarah McAlister, Creste Butte, CO

"Get it right the first time! Trust your next European cycling vacation to Gary and Lise, and you'll be rewarded with expert attention to even the smallest details. We traveled with them to Croatia on a first-ever trip, and were very pleased with how they made us feel right at home. Unique to their small-group setting is the lodging, food, cycling routes, and 'local flavor' you won't get with bigger groups. We can't wait to travel with them again!"
Bob and Lynn Green, Lynchburg, Virginia
