While all the lodging is taken care of, where meals are taken care of, where you don't have to carry your luggage from place to place, and you don't want to be with a group of strangers with different abilities and interest than your own.
These tours are created to meet client's fitness and desires, so usually you have choices of riding from 5 kms to 100 kms a day. Also this tours are supported; we are providing luggage transfers, emergency support, we have an welcome meeting where we will fit bike for you, explain to you where to go and where or what to eat, what to see and give you informations about local structure and history which was going on along en route.Also we are providing a map with marked routes. Basically, everything is taken care of, leaving you to enjoy the magnificent Croatian countryside or coastal line with dalmatian islands on a bike riding at your own pace.
Self Guided bike tours include:
Welcome meeting – usually on the first day of the tour, we have a meeting where we fit bikes for you, and after give day by day explanation about the itinerary, where you will receive detailed descriptions about the area where you are, local culture, points of interest, good restaurants, emergency numbers and our contact number
Accommodation - we prefer to use small family run hotels. But, if this hotel is 10 km from town centre, and we had a long day on a bike, we will stay in a lower quality hotel which will be only 5 min walk from town centre. We belive in this philosophy! On some tours we are lodged in a local private houses, because of logistics and because we belive this is a good way for you to experience local culture.
Quality bike rental-our bikes are serviced regularly and inspected always before they leave our base in Split. We are proud that our apparel and bikes are in top condition and we are used to hear from people by the end of the trip how bikes where working perfectly
Luggage transfers – on self guided tours where it is necessary we have organized luggage shuttles for you.
Detailed cycling maps – highlighted by us!
Route descriptions - we provide you with detailed route descriptions as an
extra for your information. We write them ourselves, meaning that we have actually
covered every inch of the trail, every bump on the route. The result is a clearly written set
of route descriptions that guide you, km by km, along the trail, and supply you with further
information as well (points of interest, refreshments, local restaurants etc.).
If our itinerary doesn’t fit into your desire we will be happy to assist and help you to create your own self – guided tour. With more then 30 years of experience we know every corner in Croatia, on our islands or inland . We can make booking for you, either hotel or private accommodation, we can give you van as a support, we even have a guide for you if you need one.
