  I am know as "Gramps". I have 2 daughters, 2 son-in-law and 6 grandchildren. We all live in California. This year I let my grandkids pick the destination of this years "Family Vacation" and it was decided to do an e-bike trip to Croatia. I had no idea of what to expect and it could not have been better. Our two guides, Meio and Mario were the best. Great cyclists and very informative about the history of Croatia. Croatia is very beautiful with lots of history. You don't have be even a good cyclist to have a great experience. I am 78 years old and had not ridden a bike for about 60 years and I would not consider anyone in my family to have a lot of bike experience but they are all very athletic.

  After a lot of online research, my wife and I narrowed our choice of a cycling tour company to the three Croatian companies that offered guided and self guided land-based tours. We had decided against taking the cycling tour companies that use boats to get around the cost of Dalmatia because they seemed to have too many people cramped onto a boat with small accommodations. We chose Meridien Ten and their Dalmatian Coast Classic 6 day tour. Although a total of 4 guests did not sign up for the April 27th Dalmatian Classic Guided Tour, Meridien Ten offered to conduct the guided tour anyway, but without the support van, which was fine with us. They still transported our luggage to the next hotel and provided transportation support as needed. We found Meridien to be excellent in their communication and they really seemed to care about providing first class service. The price was fair, the accommodations were good and well located, the dinners and lunches were excellent, and the quality of the bicycles was very good. Our guide, Mario, is the best guide we have had during our multiple cycling trips in different parts of the world. He lives in Split and knows the Dalmatian coast as only a resident would. Everywhere we rode, he knew people we saw. Consequently, we learned a lot about the history of the area and its people and culture. He went above and beyond to find out what we liked and made multiple changes to our itinerary after consulting with us and suggesting routes, food, and activities that he thought we might appreciate more than what was in the original itinerary. For example, as we like seafood, Mario arranged for a private lunch at a restaurant owned by a family that fished in the morning and served what they caught at their restaurant in the evening. The food was outstanding. Mario went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed our trip. And Meridien Ten gave Mario the flexibility to make itinerary changes to enhance our experience. In addition to this personalized experience, we cycled on three of the beautiful Croatian Islands between Split and Dubrovnik. The coastal scenery was amazing. We truly enjoyed our guided cycling tour with Meriden Ten.

  Our self-guided cycling trip Oct 2024 was wonderful. The experience provided really showed us the country. Specifically, the details were exact, the schedules perfect, and the logistics well-planned. The paper as well as gps site were very detailed and contained all of the information we needed. From the onset, your professionalism was noted. The bicycles were of good quality and maintained well.
