What people love about Bicycle Tours in Croatian Islands
- Self Guided Cycling Tour from Split to Dubrovnik
We rode on a self guided tour, and it was wonderful. We went in October, absolutely perfect weather for cycling. The country is beautiful and superb quiet roads were chosen for optimum pleasure for bikers, so much of the time we were facing the ocean while riding. The company took care of every detail of the ride with maps and suggestions for eating and sightseeing, as well as care of bikes. Hotels were handpicked for location and views...we could not have been happier, would do it again in a heartbeat.
- The Dalmatian Coast Classic-Croatia guided Bike Tour
Great tour with Meridien's local guides. We had great cycling week but also great presentation of Dalmatian and Croatian (traditional) values as well as superb meals.
- The Best Of Zadar Region - Self-guided Cycling Vacation - 8 Days
Very nice tour. Happy with the quality of the bikes and routes on the tour.
