Our local partners in Croatia are a small family-run business who pride themselves in responsible travel. Both office staff and local guides are all from the local area and are passionate about their country as well as the local heritage and traditions. Although the main meals are not included, we usually recommend small family run restaurants where the food is sourced locally and this helps to support farming and fishing industries. All of this helps to provide employment and generates money for the local economy. All hire bikes are also rented locally, again this is supporting the local bike shop. Our cycling guides are very 'nature-conscious' and the cycling is very low impact in terms of the environment.

We have at our offices worked to reduce our carbon footprint through a reduction of energy use and energy conservation measures. We also actively reduce the waste produced by having active reduction and recycling policies in place. We run annual staff workshops on Responsible Tourism. Global warming is a reality and to help you make a difference by reducing the carbon dioxide that is produced when you travel we offer a chance to carbon balance your flights. We encourage all our clients to do this and do so for all our staff travel. Go on do your bit!
The product manager who put together the cycling holidays for this company was a true pioneer - he cycled all 7 continents, including virtually all of Australia, and obtained special permission to traverse the Antarctica. His enthusiasm was infectious; there are now more cycling racks at this company’s office than car parking spaces. Your guides won’t follow stringent itineraries thus offering you greater flexibility. If you’re on a bicycle you can escape the crowds, access remote areas, and get closer to the country you’re in as opposed to seeing it from behind the windows of a sealed coach.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
