点评:My spouse and I did the Laganini tour of Croatia with four other couples in a private group in August 2024. Tonči, Toma, and Tomo are excellent hosts and a lot of fun. But most important, they gave us an insider’s view of the country. One of them was always cycling with us, and the support van was never far ahead or behind. They made sure that we were riding on safe roads and that we knew where we were going. Although we are used to riding fairly long distances on road bikes, we enjoyed using Laganini’s brand new e-bikes; they made it easier to enjoy the hills and the views of the sea, the olive orchards, the vineyards, and the small towns. The guys made sure that we got to sample every aspect of Croatian cuisine - the seafood, the meat, the cheese, the produce, the wine, the desserts, and the ice cream - so the meals were spectacular. We especially enjoyed lunch at Tonči’s family olive orchard, where he personally cooked for us. It was so much nicer than the “cultural encounters” that non-local touring companies arrange because we already felt like we knew Tonći.
If you are considering this trip, here a few things to note. Croatia is hot in the summer and the larger cities are crowded, so avoid the high season, if you can. But if you can’t, go anyway! Also, some of the hotels (particularly Hotel Vitar in Bol) are great, the others are just okay. But even those that are just okay are used by well-known tour companies such as Backroads and Rick Steves.
翻译:2024 年 8 月,我和我的配偶与其他四对夫妇一起参加了一个私人团体的拉加尼尼克罗地亚之旅。Tonči、Toma 和 Tomo 是出色的主人,非常有趣。但最重要的是,他们让我们对这个国家有了内部人士的了解。其中一人总是和我们一起骑自行车,支援车也从不走得太远或太远。他们确保我们在安全的道路上骑行,并且我们知道要去哪里。虽然我们习惯骑公路自行车长途旅行,但我们喜欢使用拉加尼尼的全新电动自行车;它们让我们更容易欣赏山丘和大海、橄榄园、葡萄园和小镇的景色。这些家伙确保我们品尝到克罗地亚美食的各个方面——海鲜、肉类、奶酪、农产品、葡萄酒、甜点和冰淇淋——所以饭菜非常棒。我们特别喜欢在 Tonči 的家庭橄榄园享用午餐,他亲自为我们做饭。这比非本地旅游公司安排的“文化接触”好多了,因为我们感觉我们已经认识了 Tonći。
如果您正在考虑这次旅行,请注意以下几点。克罗地亚夏天很热,大城市人满为患,所以如果可以的话,请避开旺季。但如果不能,也请前往!此外,一些酒店(尤其是 Bol 的 Hotel Vitar)很棒,其他酒店则一般。但即使是那些一般的酒店也被 Backroads 和 Rick Steves 等知名旅游公司使用。
