Croatia · CYCLING TOURS
Good cycling tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Explore Split by bike, from Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva to Marjan Park, with city views, local stories, and a choice of regular or e-bikes.
“An excellent bike tour of Split with Egor. Great guide, lots of information, beautiful city. He also recommended other things to see without the bikes. Highly recommend”
Cycle Pula’s seafront to Pigeon’s Cave and Verudela Canyon, with swimming, snorkeling, cliff jumping, photos, and a small-group guide.
“Really enjoyed the bike ride - good mountain bikes provided. Our guide was very knowledgeable & interesting. He rode at our pace and looked after us very well . Definitely the evening was the best time to do this.”
See Zagreb’s Upper and Lower Towns by bike, from the Green Horseshoe to Stone Gate, with a local guide and a relaxed 2.5-hour route.
“I definitely recommend the Zagreb bike tour--Bruno was professional, insightful, and tailored the tour according to our preferences. He was also very friendly and great for conversation. I believe it was our favorite part of Zagreb, and Bruno's advice definitely helped us on the rest of our trip through Croatia.”
Explore Zagreb by bike on a relaxed small-group tour covering the Cathedral, Stone Gate, St. Mark’s, Lower Town squares, and local cafés.
“Guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and we learned a great deal about Zagreb. Tour duration was perfect and we arrived back exactly on time. Great morning touring Zagreb”
Explore Hvar by e-bike on a self-guided route to lavender villages, quiet beaches, Stari Grad, and Fortica with helpful local support.
“Great experience . You could do a short route or a long route. We did the shorter one which was perfect considering it was a hot day . Highly recommend Antonio bike self guided tour !”
Cycle Hvar’s historic villages, vineyards, coast, and UNESCO plain, then enjoy a family wine cellar tasting with a local guide.
“It was wonderful to move around this windswept island with a true native. We went in April so the weather was quite perfect. We met several members of Grgo's family and drank some of the wine his family makes (excellent) in their ancestral cellar. His mother made some mildly sweet snacks to go with the wine. If you want to know how island people in Croatia really live, I highly recommend this tour. Grgo talks a lot (as he warned us :-)) but it's all informative. We brought some of the wine back with us to the US. Thanks Grgo for a lovely day in the outdoors.”
Ride through Split’s old town, Marjan Hill, Sustipan, and pine forests on a scenic three-hour bike tour with local guides.
“My partner was sick and was not able to make it. we were in a cruise with my Daughter and her Husband I asked then to take our place. We went and they accommodated by adding one to our reservation. The best thing was that they did not realize we were expecting Electric Bikes. After a quick phone call they figured it out and it was a reasonable extra fee. They brought us in the most beautiful park we had ever seen. They showed us how beautiful and wonderful Split was. They have us a lesson on the castle and how the city evolved and expanded. My son iin laws…”
Review of Dubrovnik’s small-group e-bike tour through Konavle, with a monastery, working mills, local sweets, wine, and a gourmet snack.
“This tour is excellent in every way. Our guide was Mislav who was not only very likeable, but gave us a detailed account of the history of Dubrovnik, which was fascinating. Our bikes were of a high quality and with E-Bikes you can just cruise or put a bit of strain in - the choice is yours. Mislav took us to some beautiful places at a easy pace for all of us. We started off at the beautiful Ombla river waterfall and then along the marina before cycling up to Dubrovnik bridge with its great views. After the bike ride we were taken to a lovely pub next to the…”
See Zagreb by bicycle in 2.5 hours, from Dolac Market and Stone Gate to the Green Horseshoe, with a local English-speaking guide.
“Great information on the city, and good coverage of the entire city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace on the bikes. The bikes were in good condition.”
Ride stable water bikes 8 km through the Cetina River Canyon near Omiš, with guides, snacks, photos, swims, and a possible tow.
“Such a novel way to experience the beauty and peace of the Cetina River. Very well hosted - cheery and attentive. With knowledge of the surrounding landscape. Easy to find. Easy to highly recommend!”
Cycle Korcula’s vineyards to two family wineries for Grk, Posip, local snacks, sea views, and a relaxed return transfer.
“This was easily one of the best tours I’ve ever done (on any trip!) John was the ultimate guide and we had so much fun. Views are beautiful through the countryside and both the wineries we visited were excellent — and offered wine we couldn’t have otherwise seen or drank in town. Our group was having such a good time that we ended up staying at the second winery much later than planned and the vineyard owner continued to be the perfect host. Be aware that the biking aspect does require moderate level of fitness, but I could not recommend the experience enough!”
Kayak, bike, swim, and ferry through Croatia’s Elaphite Islands on a scenic 9-hour day tour from Dubrovnik.
“Great day! We ferried to an island, kayaked to another island, biked across the island, enjoyed lunch together with our newly made friends, relaxed at a beautiful beach, then bike, kayaked and ferried back. Educational, sporty, relaxing and fun!”
Cycle Konavle Valley by e-bike from Dubrovnik, visit a monastery and old mill, then enjoy a three-course lunch and local wine.
“This was an AMAZING tour!!! Our guide, Mislav was very knowledgeable about this country’s history and educated us with memorable stories and facts. He made this tour even more enjoyable with his genuine personality and humor, lots of laughs were had!! The small group size is great, the countryside was gorgeous and the food was delicious! If you only do one tour while in Croatia, make sure it’s the e-bike tour with Mislav!!”
Cycle rural Konavle from Dubravka to Gruda, visit a UNESCO necropolis and Sokol fortress, then taste local wine and cheese.
“It was fantastic. We enjoyed the biking with Yuri. The bikes are well maintained & it’s mostly downhill. The countryside was so beautiful & we enjoyed the cultural stops. The winery was also very special as the settling was idyllic. The wine was quite good & we enjoyed meeting the sommelier. I am so glad we were able to have the experience in rural Croatia.”
Cycle Cape Kamenjak from Pula to dinosaur tracks, sea cliffs, Safari Bar, swimming spots, and wide Istrian views on a small-group MTB tour.
“Predrag was an excellent guide explaining anything we asked and giving lots of tips. The cycle ride was fairly hard and more for intermediate to advanced fitness levels but nevertheless an excellent tour and highly recommend”
