Croatia: Highlights of Dalmatia: Split – Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik – Split | PlusSusan Beth
Our boat and bike tour onboard the Harmonia with Filipino and Anton (Bubi) in Croatia blew my mind. It was awesome! Most fun, most beautiful, most friendly, most active, and it blew my expectations away! Docking nightly at cities and being able to go out and wander was delightful. Our guides made everything top notch fun. Filipino and Bubi are an exceptional team! The crew was so friendly and accommodating and prepared gourmet meals. Best trip ever!
Thank you for your nice review. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay on board of the Harmonia. Moreover it is really good to hear that the whole crew was doing an amazing job. Kind regards Boat Bike Tours

The guides were fantastic, sharing info about their country, helping us with our equipment, encouraging us, and pacing the trip for our group. All of the boat staff, the cooks, captain, and crew were wonderful. The food…marvelous and way too plentiful! Rocco, our bartender, server extraordinaire was superb, taking care of every request from Morning coffee to late nightcaps. Great showers, rooms, and nice space to hang out both inside, on the covered veranda, and on the top deck.
We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience with the guides during your trip. Their knowledge sharing, assistance with equipment, encouragement, and well-paced itinerary truly made a difference. We're delighted that you found the food to be marvelous. It is great to know that you really liked the crew. It's great to know that the showers, rooms, and various spaces on the boat, such as the covered veranda and top deck, added to your enjoyment. Thank you for choosing this tour, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another fantastic adventure in the future! Warm Regards, Romy

Like: guide, boat, and bikes, meals were good but a bit bland Dislike: limited bar, requirement to buy full bottle of wine rather than by-the-glass; coffee not available before 7:30am (7:00 would be perfect); no Wi-Fi in rooms; no rainy day/evening entertainment (movies, games, etc.); only tiny amount of time touring (95% bike riding and short, coffee stops); pillows were too big and hard; no artificial sweeteners; hair dryer is ancient (too small, very old, weak, sucks in hair & pulls it out); 4 evening meals own-your-own (not as advertised); $25/person for water was too excessive!; would be nice to offer shorter rides for those interested on days when rides were very long
Hi JJM, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive comments about the guide, boat, bikes, and meals, although we apologize if the meals were a bit bland. We understand your concerns regarding the limited bar options, the requirement to purchase a full bottle of wine, coffee availability, Wi-Fi in rooms, rainy day/evening entertainment, tour time allocation, pillow comfort, artificial sweeteners, hairdryer quality, evening meal arrangements, excessive water charge, and ride options. We would like to discuss your concerns further. Please provide your contact information, and we will reach out to you to address these matters. Thank you for your feedback.

We had a fabulous week cycling the Croatia islands. Guides were fantastic. Loved the cycling as we were at the end of the season so islands were quite. Food on board was excellent and the two lovely chefs went out of there way to keep everyone happy regarding dietary needs.Only 2 little complaints we thought tea and coffee should be complimentary anytime and the bath towel and pillows seemed a bit tired.
Thank you very much for the warm and lovely review, our team is very happy to receive such high rating. We are glad that the chefs and guides did a great job. It's helpful for us to know how our guests rate every part of the service, and we take every review into consideration as it helps us improve and provide a better experience for you next time. We look forward to seeing you on board again. Best, Romy

This tour’s difficulty level was stated as a 2. “Level 2: quite easy tours, mostly flat terrain”. I would most definitely NOT rate this a 2. The terrain was Extremly Hilly and steep, both up and down, even with Ebikes the ride was difficult! and we were on Busy and dangerous roads. I felt unsafe most of the time riding The food was excellent! the ladies in the kitchen managed to create wonderful meals out of a very small galley. the exception was the last evening meal which was to be a celebration. we discovered that almost all the crew lived in Split and left the boat early to return home. supper appeared and tasted like it was plated at 4pm(we ate at 7pm) it was dry and tasteless and in no way a celebration. the tour was NOT over yet the staff had lost interest. The bartender was rude and crabby the first couple of days until an additional person came on board to work with him. after that he was better. the added person was a welcome addition. she worked her butt off and had such a great attitude!. the guides got into their groove after a couple of days. The first days felt uncomfortable and unorganized. we didn’t feel they kept track of us as well as some other tours we have been on. After they left another couple from our tour at the boat the first day and didn’t even know it, they started counting us after every start and stop. the walking tours we had by professional guides were well done and appreciated. The scenery was amazing and we had a wonderful week of sunny weather! The boat cabins were comfortable and well-maintained. I would not choose this company again as we have been on better tours.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review about your recent experience. We are disheartened to hear that many elements of your stay were disappointing to say the least. This is not typical of us and can assure you it wouldn't happen again. As it may be too late to reconcile, I wanted you to know that I've used your experience within our customer satisfaction process to be sure we don't make these mistakes again. We hope to see you again in the future. Best, Romy

The trip was A+. Excellent guides and great food. The ship was very comfortable, clean, and well maintained. We met a great group of active people. Crotia is very beautiful. I felt the bikes were adequate. I felt the level of difficulty of the hybrid biking was understated. The guides really took care of us, but the hybrid biking is more challenging than we expected for a level two.
Hi Phyllis, thank you so much for sharing your great feedback on our tour and your thoughts on the level of difficulty and hybrid bikes. We are delighted that all the staff made you feel welcome and look forward to seeing you on board at all times. Best, Romy

Our bike tour of the Croatian Islands was wonderful. The biking was challenging, but the ebikes made it all possible. The views of the Adriatic Sea were spectacular. The boat we were on offered great meals and the guides and staff were friendly and helpful.
Hi Sarah, Thank you for such a lovely review, to see that you had such a pleasant experience is the best we could have hoped for. We will be happy to see you again soon. Best, Romy
