What people love about Bicycle Tours in Croatian Islands
- Mountain Biking Trans Croatia South - Bike Dalmatian Islands
Aside from the fact that Croatia is absolutely spectacular, and idyllic in every way for a Viking trip, I felt that the way the bike trip was organized, was very confusing, lacking enough, detail, and handholding for a novice. The problem always was our luggage how to get from one point to another and worry about what happens to our luggage, contrary, to my understanding, we are selves had to take the luggage on the ferry with us, which was extremely difficult to push your bike up and into a ferry with your luggage. Many other cases are even when we got off the ferry and our luggage had to go to a hotel. There was confusion and or there wasn’t something arrange for the luggage to take it to the hotel, so what we thought would be taken care of in terms of the hassle of having a luggage on a bike trip was an essence still a hassle and deterred from the freedom that we were looking for on a bike trip . Our local man on the ground Daniel Piccini was fantastic. Quality bikes were amazing. He was very efficient and helpful and solve a lot of our problems that Anessa should’ve been solved by the company organizer, which is tour radar. It doesn’t mean I wouldn’t use to a radar again I just simply means I would ask a lot more questions and want a lot more detail before undertaking such a trip.
- 6-Day Dalmatian Luxury Cycling Tour
This was an amazing experience. 8 of us from Arizona and California decided to celebrate my 50 bday biking through Croatia. There are many choices for Croatia bike tours, some better and some not so great. It was early in the season and we did not want to go through a company that acts just as a booking agent or subcontracts its tours. We settled on Laganini and talked directly to one of the owners. All questions and concerns were adequately addressed (some members in our group had dietary preferences, others wanted to make sure that the accommodations were a step higher than what is normally offered on bike tours. After all, we are on vacation.... Our guide Tonci had grown up in the area, was knowledgeable and showed us places that I had not seen before (or heard of), despite having vacationed in middle Dalmatia for more than 10 years. Flawless organization, pickup from the airport, perfect and newer bikes, great support for the occasional technical problem (few other than an occasional flat tire). It was a truly enjoyable tour and we will be back for more.
