Ana was amazing, strong, fit and just a wonderful personality. Made the trip for us. Local knowledge re the rides and local resturants. Very confident and organised. 10 out of 10 for her enthusiam.

I am a mature lady and just cycle for pleasure, you just need a reasonable level of fitness and confidence on the bike. This trip is just the most amazing way to see Croatia.

I must say I think Exodus has got the cycling trip holidays just right, this was our third one plus one walking holiday in Maderia. You must be doing something right because most on the trip and enjoyed other Exodus trips.

Ana -was a great guide, sharing lots of local knowledge and keeping us all organised and good at issuing clear instructions so we didn't get lost.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
I would recommend being reasonably fit- the coast line isn't flat, but nothing too steep.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The bluest sea I have ever seen.
What did you think of your group leader?
She was fabulous. She was knowledgeable and humourous. Also she kept it real, told us the length of the hills, the gradient, gave clear and concise directions. As a group we were really well looked after. Excellent choice of restaurants and routes and stopping points. Also she took us to the best IceCream in Europe.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
This is a must do trip. Big Hills but lots of time to do them. Big Downhills too!!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Go to Mjet. In fact do all the optional rides.

CYCLING THE DALMATIAN COAST

Written September 2012
An amazing holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. The islands were beautiful and the towns of Hvar and Korcula inspirational. It was great to have all of the travel arrangements organised, especially the ferries, and excellent restaurants recommended and booked. It was also fantastic to have the back up vehicle on hand for the transfers, snacks and the 'just in case' moments. The bikes were easy to ride and in good condition.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
I was very nervous prior to the holiday about being able to cope with all the uphill rides. I had a real buzz from completing all the rides and loved the challenges they set. Visiting the islands was superb and the scenery made you forget the undulating routes. Having risen to the challenge of the uphills the downhills were exhilarating with truly amazing views.
What did you think of your group leader?
Krsto was excellent. He was supportive to those at the back of the 'peloton'. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and had a great sense of humour. He made arrangements for us to visit some amazing restaurants. A truly inspirational leader!
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
I took my own saddle as well as others who also took their own peddles - a good move! Although I had been out cycling prior to the trip the uphills were certainly longer than I had anticipated. To get the most from the trip it would be prudent to do some uphill training prior to the trip. Having said that, the ascents are not particularly steep, just long and the superb scenery and lovely descents make up for all the undulations!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
This was my first organised group holiday and I have been waxing lyrical to everyone I meet about the whole trip. The cycling was a challenge but on completion of each ride I had a real sense of achievement. The others on my trip were great company and I thoroughly enjoyed cycling with different people at different times. We cycled together, ate together and laughed together - fantastic people. This has been a truly amazing holiday. I am already looking through the Exodus brochure for my next 'challenge'.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Completeing the 10km climb in 30+ degC.
What did you think of your group leader?
Very fit and very tolerant young guy. We would have liked to hear a bit more about the history and culture of Croatia but realise that some of it might still be quite raw.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Some of the hotels are a little basic.

A fantastic trip that left me wanting more, and which really showed just how beautiful Croatia is.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
There were a lot of high points on the trip - sometimes literally: there are some quite tough climbs to get up which gave me a real sense of achievement when they were done. Some of the downhill rides were really exhilerating as well, and the last one in particular was on a stunning road.
Swimming in one of the lakes on Mljet was amazing - so quiet and peaceful, and in such clear water - I felt like I could have stayed there forever.
Getting to Dubrovnik old town just as the sun was going down and having a guided tour with a wonderful local guide seemed to leave everyone completely enchanted and in love with the place.
Having cocktails at the top of the hill above Dubrovnik was beautiful as well.
Sea kayaking in Dubrovnik was really good fun too.
And, the homestead lunch with the homemade pate was delicious.
What did you think of your group leader?
Ana was great - very organised, very enthusiastic, loads of energy and funny and friendly as well. She was always happy to help and was really approachable.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
There are some pretty big climbs along the way so maybe get a bit of hill practice before you go. Other than that: book it and enjoy it. The week was over in a flash so drink it all in and savour every moment.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I went on my first Exodus trip last year and had an amazing time - after that I knew that I would definitely book another trip with them but always had a slight nagging doubt that it would never be able to live up to the first. Thankfully, I was wrong. This was wonderful as well. I met some fantastic people and seemed to spend a lot of the holiday laughing. Ana, the guide, really helped to make the trip great as well - not only did she keep everyone organised and informed, but she was great fun too. All in all, a fantastic trip that I will remember for a long time.
