The trip exceeded expectations - every aspect was well planned and enjoyable. It was my first Backroads trip - I'm not typically a group traveler but the combination of our knowledgeable and engaging guides, the Croatian destination, panoramic hikes, gorgeous ship, superb meals, lovely accommodations and spirited fellow travelers made the Dalmatian Coast an especially memorable trip. I look forward to planning my next Backroads adventure.- Minneapolis, MN

It was my first backroads trip and I was traveling by myself. I wasn't sure what to expect. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I had a wonderful trip and made a lot of new friends.- Isle of Man, United Kingdom

You've never let us down! There is always high energy and enthusiasm with your trips.- Weston, VT

This trip was magical. Backroads continues to exceed my expectations. I understand how challenging it is to logistically satisfy a group of 18 people, and our leaders accomplished this seamlessly with smiles on their faces.- Shrewsbury, NJ

I thought the trip was very well planned and loved the idea of getting places on the boat and the great meals. I can't think of anything I would improve.- Jupiter, FL

Backroads did an excellent job on delivering on the "backroads" experience, particularly with the hiking routes, which were truly stunning & interesting. I felt like I got to see places, meet people, and do things that I would not have been able to do on my own with a guidebook. Our trip leaders were extremely enthusiastic, accommodating and entertaining.- New York, NY

I've been on other Backroads trips in the past - Provence, Sicily and Umbria - but in this case Backroads, and especially the two leaders, really outdid themselves. The experiences on this trip - from fresh oysters and mussels the first day to fresh fish thrown out of the water and onto the grill the last day - lunches on the boat - fantastic times traveling on the boat - were absolutely fantastic and absolutely could not have been duplicated traveling alone. Trip was a 10++ in every way!!- New York, NY

The combination of hiking and cruising that Backroads offers is the best way to explore the rugged coastline of Croatia. The cultural experiences and the superb staff made this trip made this trip extraordinary! West Port, CT

We had a blast! The country is beautiful, the food was GREAT, the boat, crew and meals were wonderful and the Croatian people were very nice! I'd recommend the trip to anyone.- Cashiers, NC

Great, great trip. Our third Backroads trip but first Classic trip. The intimate exposure to several local people and first-hand exposure to culture made this a wonderful trip. The transportation by boat was wonderful and relaxing. The islands were gorgeous.- Needham, MA

We had a great trip and were very impressed with all aspects of the organization and implementation of the journey. We were always confident and secure that we were safe and that every detail was being attended to. We couldn't have asked for more. The time on our beautiful boat was a special treat! The crew was great and approaching the Dalmation islands from the sea added so much to the entire experience. This trip was a "ten" in every way!- Sea Girt, NJ
