Croatia Private Tours and Trips

Absolutely loved every minute of our Ancient Venetian Empire ride. Saving the hills for the last two days for us using leg power was a bit mean - haha. We coped! All hotels were great apart from one for people having biked one of their longest days. It was out of town, tiny, and old-fashioned, so not reaching our needs for refreshment. No close restaurants and nothing to purchase to eat or drink on the premises. All in all though, top rated, well organised ride!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6-day cycle around Istria in May. The hills gave a little challenge but the rewards were many with great sweeping descents and amazing scenery. Then the coastal rides offered the opportunity to take a dip in the Adriatic and visit beautiful towns like Rovinj. The hotels were all excellent with great hospitality and food. I would definitely recommend them and hope to have another cycle or hiking trip in the future.

This week-long self-guided cycling trip was excellent. Cycling through olive groves, along rocky shores and sampling tasty local food. Typical distances were 30K a day suggested, but there is great scope for extending (or shortening) routes to suit yourself. Directions were generally good, and accommodation was excellent along the way in very friendly hotels in Fazana (especially!) Rovinj and Porec.

Although the weather was not so kind and one day it rained heavy for the 70km ride, we still enjoyed our trip. Our trip started 12 April and so some of the tourist areas were only opening up for the summer season. The beach areas lacked some atmosphere because of this however at least we did not have to dodge so many tourists. The scenery was not as good as we expected because it was often hidden by trees however once in the towns it was nice to experience the lifestyle. Ending in Porec is problematic because the best option for continuing travel is to return to Venice which adds an extra expense.

Loved Italy and Slovenia, lots of bike paths! Beautiful scenery, there was only one patch of really rough gravel for quite awhile! The other off road paths were fine. Croatia was the last day and it was very hilly, unfortunately it was also on main roads for most of the day, and the roads did not have shoulders. Traffic was really fast and it was a bit scary. Accommodations were awesome except one that was only okay. The GPS worked like a charm and the bikes were really good. The luggage transfer was great, even when we were late one morning, they came back which we really appreciated! The staff was very helpful and kept in touch when we needed them to!!

The orientation when we received our bikes was too quick. The man doing the orientation seemed like he just wanted to drop off the bikes and go. While he did answer our questions, it seemed to be bothersome for him. It would have been nice to have a meet and greet with the other participants on the tour prior to the tour beginning whether the night before or the morning of. There were some glitches with the app. On the leg to Porec, the blue line for our route disappeared. Thankfully the voice prompts continued to guide us to our hotel. We really appreciated being provided with dinner on our last night. We opted for the higher standard of accommodation and were pleased with most of our rooms especially the Hotel Victoria in Trieste. Loved biking through small towns and rural areas. Was nervous on some of the busy roads.
