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 believe in this philosophy! On some tours we are lodged in a local private houses, because of logistics and because we believe 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 custom self guided bike tour. With more than 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. Depending on your wishes, daily distances you want to bike, what you want to see and do while in Croatia, where you want to stay, we will create a custom self guided bike trip for you and make sure your holidays are fun and relaxing!!

  Bike Rental Croatia Blog

Three friends and I did a self-supported bike trip in October and rented bikes from Meridien and were extremely pleased! We originally planned to bring our own bikes but after checking the extra costs for air transport and considering logistics of starting and ending in different locations, we wanted to rent.  We picked up the bikes in Rijeka and dropped them off in Dubrovnik. It was much more convenient and cost effective than bringing our own bikes. Andro was very helpful in planning our itinerary and answered our many questions very quickly.
