An amazing trip and a journey of a lifetime!
The whole experience could not have been any better or done any better. Our Tour leaders and support were unbelievable. The food and accommodations were top-notch. And every effort was made to make our experience the best it could be. I could not recommend this any higher. I can't wait to do another trip with back roads.
It was an amazing experience!!!!
The whole trip experience was awesome. The team leaders could not be any better, nicer, or more helpful. The hotels and the food were equally awesome.
Exceeded our expectations!
I already had high expectations for our first backroads trip. Our family of 6 did a family of 20s and older teens and had a wonderful experience! The places we visited and the culture was fabulous, the activities were challenging but the right level for us, the hotels and meals were awesome, but what really made it extra special were our 3 leaders, Ion, Nina, and Nicole. Having them to guide us everyday and be a resource for whatever we needed was the cherry on top!
Exceeded all of our expectations
This was our second Backroads Trip, but our first with our son and daughter. The Teens and older 20's trip was the perfect way to celebrate our daughters college graduation and obviously other families felt the same way as there were 7 new graduates on the trip! The leaders were personable and knowledgable from the start, but over our six days we came to realize what remarkable people they were as they shared their expertise and love of the area with us. The accommodations were beyond beautiful, the food rivaled any other European country, but the most striking thing was the meals that were prepared for us in off the path locations by local chefs who took so much pride and preparing food for us and sharing with us their lives. The biking is challenging, but the support staff helped when we needed a boost! The hikes took us to vantage points that were beyond breathtaking. Crossing the border into Montenegro on bikes was a memorable moment, but the beauty of bay while kayaking- well it was one amazing moment after another. Our group was fun, the weather perfect, and Backroads once again has us anxious for our next adventure.
Beautiful Dalmatian Coast
Verified Buyer
Such a beautiful place. See and islands are truly remarkable. the first hotel in Korchula was a top Backroads hotel. Riding was manageable, the hiking was a bit more challenging, but the end goals of the hikes was worth the work. Really fun crossing a boarder (to Montenegro) on a bike. Montenegro was very different from Croatia and good lessons learned about both countries. Great balance of activities for adults and 18+. A remarkable trip and of course, outstanding leaders.
Fun, meaningful, and memorable
Can't say enough good things about this trip. The perfect mix of natural beauty, challenging rides, fascinating sights, and top-notch cuisine.
