5-Days Guided Bike Tour in Istria with Private Accommodation

We did a 6 day guided trip through Istria beginning in Muggia, Slovenia after being picked up in Trieste and ended our trip in Pula, Croatia in early October. We were a party of 4 all in our 60's. We also had a non-riding couple with us who were transported each day to our next stop (at a discounted fee). It was an outstanding trip, far surpassing our hopes and expectations. Great care was taken to make sure everything we needed was accommodated, and any concerns we had were addressed. Danijel was our guide. He was great. He was knowledgeable about the history of the area, took us to local restaurant favorites, introduced us to great local food, wine, beer (and grappa), and interesting historical sites along the way. He challenged those in our party who wanted to work hard, and accommodated those who wanted less demanding biking. Flexibility was provided when desired. All the gear provided (both e-bikes and regular) was in good shape and any issues that arose were addressed on the spot. Each day provided different terrain and sights. All were impressive. The Parenzana trail was varied, paved at first in Slovenia and then mostly gravel until we left it after a fun ride ending in a big climb into Motovun. This was followed by a drop to the coast for the balance of the trip through scenic terrain and beautiful towns of Porec, Rovinj and then Pula. The trip was capped off with a wine tasting in Pula which was outstanding. All accommodations were excellent, and nothing fell through the cracks. I highly recommend this tour, this company and Danijel as a guide.
