Wonderful Croatian Islands but not a real cycling holiday.

Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful Croatian islands, the comfort of the boat, and the professional care of the crew. We do regret, however, that the cycling experience did not fully meet your expectations. As you have experienced, most of our guests on the Croatian Island tours choose to ride e-bikes. This allows us to offer daily routes that include challenging climbs and distances suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. However, when nearly the entire group uses e-bikes, and a few guests ride regular bikes, the difference in pace within the group can indeed become challenging. The guides aim to keep the group together for safety reasons, but this can sometimes mean that traditional cyclists feel like they are riding at the back more often. For guests who prefer a more active workout, it is good to know that the level of assistance on the e-bikes can be adjusted or even turned off completely, allowing for a more demanding ride while still staying with the group. The decision to guide the group together also has to do with the local conditions in Croatia: the combination of narrow roads, traffic, steep climbs and descents makes it necessary, from a safety perspective, to cycle in a group rather than individually. We realize that this limits the freedom some guests may expect, but safety always remains our top priority. We truly appreciate your honest comments, as it helps us to better inform future guests about what to expect on these tours, and where possible, improve our offerings. Thank you once again, and we hope you took home many beautiful memories of Croatia.
