"My husband and I had a terrific 7 day, self guided cycle tour of the Dalmatian Coast - known for stunning views, wine and of course...The Adriatic Sea. From the first contact with Jelena (who was so attentive, knowledgeable and helpful), to Alex and Amir (our drivers), to the quaint and charming local accommodations that were booked for us, the whole experience was well worth it. We want to give special mention to Kata (Maestral Accomodations in Orebic) and Angelina (Amfora Villa in Dubrovnik). They took such good care of us and their breakfasts were so good! The daily cycling was well mapped out for us - we had a really special and memorable experience."

"We had a private guided cycling tour in the Konavle Valley with Alex. We are fit cyclists with less climbing experience wanting a challenging but enjoyable ride taking in the beautiful scenery along the way. Aleks put together a 3 hour ride with some great climbing and fun descents that checked all those boxes. He was knowledgeable and fun to talk to about the local area as well as cycling in general. We would not have felt comfortable doing the ride without his guidance. I highly recommend getting a guide and not going out on your own if you have not been to the area before."

"We have just got back from an amazing cycle tour. All the communication was excellent from start to finish. The route information was easy to understand and all the accommodation was really lovely."

"They were professional, responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us put together a great trip. We did 4 night Croatia self guided bike trip (Orebić, korcula, Ston, Konavle, then added on two nights in Montenegro. They arranged perfect small family run hotels, gave us great routes with tips of things to do, see, eat, … along the way. They made sure we were comfortable and safe, answering all questions before our daily rides."
