Island Cycling Tours in Croatia

My cycling holiday in Croatia was unforgettable! Pedaling along the Adriatic coast was like a dream, with turquoise waters and charming villages at every turn. Highlights included exploring Split’s historic old town and the stunning islands of Hvar and Korčula. The itinerary was perfectly paced, combining scenic routes with plenty of time to relax by the sea. I highly recommend this trip for anyone seeking a mix of adventure and Mediterranean charm!

The team from Europe Cycling Holidays - Timotej and Matic - were great to deal with. The itinerary they planned was outstanding. The tools they provided were great and their service and communications were also great - very responsive when we hit a hurdle and helped us solve the problem.

We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our self-guided Alps to Adriatic tour. We worked with the agency to tailor a trip with some extra days in areas that were of interest to us. They were great to work with. We were super impressed with the package and with the high quality of the tourism infrastructure in Slovenia (well maintained roads, excellent directional and informational signage, lovingly restored historic structures). Pride of place is evident everywhere. We loved how the route took us through the heart of the country on bike paths and back roads and rail trails, through farm fields and vineyards and olive groves. The scenery is truly stunning. Each day was different and full of pleasant surprises. The length of the stages was well chosen to allow time for side trips. The trip planner document we received was full of helpful ideas. The restaurant recommendations were excellent and thoroughly reliable. We had some truly memorable meals. We received up-to-date information on road conditions and on alternative routes that were, as promised, equally stunning. The hotels were all very comfortable and offered a great spread at breakfast to fuel up for the next day of cycling. Communication about details like bike pickup and transport logistics could have been better, but all around, the trip was delightful. We look forward to doing another trip with these folks in the future.

Well organised, great route and lovely hotels.

I would love to give specific feedback on aspects of the route. Overall, our guide Timotej, was available and helpful. The luggage transfer was seamless. The hotels were lovely.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip! The guides were professional and provided excellent leadership. They clearly know this country and the best cycling routes. I would definitely do another trip with them.

A most enjoyable trip with excellent electric bicycles. Lovely countryside and some excellent overnight locations on the way.

Loved our bike ride from lake Bled in Slovenia to Pula in Croatia over 13 days .We were given excellent hard tail bikes with 650WH batteries. The scenery was amazing. The route we followed was on a GPS supplied by the company and went on rural roads and tracks with virtually no traffic The organisation by the company was terrific and our bags were delivered promptly to our hotels. The hotels were well situated in the old part of towns we stayed in I would highly recommend this trip. One of the most interesting and scenic self guided bike tours I have ever been on

Great trip! Klemen set up our trip perfectly. When we needed him he was there. The hotels were excellent. The biking a blast. We did a 5 day self guided tour. Do it!!

The quick summary: We had an amazing tour with this company and I highly recommend them. Details as follows: I worked with Klemen to set up a 16-day self-guided tour through Slovenia and Istria. I met with Klemen via video chat and explained what we had in mind in terms of ride terrain, miles per day, hotel types, etc…Klemen very quickly understood what I wanted and made great recommendations, notably to steer us towards renting gravel bikes which turned out to be the perfect call for this tour. We’d never done a multi-day tour, let alone self guided, so as the time came close for the trip, I was a little nervous about how things would go. Everything went very smoothly, and that is saying a lot considering what bad luck we had with the weather during our first week. The bikes we were rented were high quality and never let us down. The routes Klemen gave us on RideWithGPS were really nice and took us through a lot of villages and obscure roads we would have never found on our own. Klemen picked out hotels for us and then I reviewed with him and asked for a few changes (paying more to upgrade in some places) and I was happy with everything we ended up with. Of particular note was the support we got when we were struggling. My daughter came down with a cold and (as previously mentioned) the weather turned nasty. I asked Klemen if he could help us move our daughter and her bike when they were moving our luggage, and he got that sorted out for two different stages of the trip. Overall, I’m just so pleased with how things went. It was sad when we had to turn the bikes in and had no more adventures planned for us. I hope to come back and ride again in Slovenia. The scenery and people live up to the reputations. I am writing this kind of long review because before I booked with these guys I could not find very much info about them and I would like them to get credit for great work.

Good organization, we made the trip without any setbacks, and if there were any (a reservation that couldn't be found), they were able to resolve it satisfactorily. Recommended.

Klemen was very responsive and handled everything from start to finish. Route planning was customised to our ability and requirements. No cookie-cutter itinerary here. Accomodation selection was excellent. Absolutely would use this company again.

This company was BRILLIANT!! They planned our whole trip completely bespoke to what we needed. They took time, care and attention to make sure the trip was designed specifically for our needs and interests. The communication was excellent from day one and we felt completely supported and safe in their hands. The locations we cycled to and through were unbelievably beautiful and completely dependent on intricate local knowledge of the country. We had the BEST holiday and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

It was a great experience! Recommend.

It has been a unique experience and I am looking forward to repeating it. In my case, I went "alone" but I was always accompanied! Incredible, very grateful.

Very unique expirience, with a lot of good people, not my first kind od cycling, but one of the best. Great recommendation!
