Ivo and Jelena were amazing guides. When we arrived Ivo helped us to assemble our bikes after traveling. He was always on top of ensuring the bikes were ready to go. After realizing the first day that there mountains were bigger than we expected he arranged for e-bike rentals to be delivered to us on the island. He was encouraging and helpful when I felt unsure of myself on a trail, and gave great tips to help me to improve my riding. On top of being an amazing mountain bike guide Ivo was also very knowledgeable of the areas we visited and he gave us the history of the places, and arranged for wine tastings and a tour of an old olive oil production mill with a delicious tasting. Jelena was also very helpful and encouraging at all times. She made the most amazing breakfasts and meals. Ivo and Jelena always made us feel at home and comfortable. I couldn’t imagine anyone better to travel with. This was a trip of a lifetime. I traveled with my husband for our honeymoon. The trip exceeded our Expectations. From the moment we stepped on the boat we were in heaven. We were shown our rooms and after we settled in Ivo and Jelena had snacks and a beer tasting ready for us. The meals provided were incredible, and the restaurants suggested were all delicious. Sailing across the blue sea, swimming in quiet coves, and relaxing on the swaying boat was an amazing way to rest after amazing mountain biking through the islands. I highly recommend the use of E-bikes. We made the mistake of trying to ride it all on our own bikes, but it was a lot of riding in order to see all of the amazing parts. Once we had E-bikes we were much more capable of riding the 20-30 miles each day with long and steep climbs. We were in heaven every moment, and will never forget this trip. I highly recommend this trip to anyone ready for an...
Read moreMy guide was the most amazing person I've ever met in a long time. That man was up every morning cooking breakfast with a smile on his face. He was perfect for this, he seriously loves his job and loves what he does. You could tell just by the look on his face every time. He didn't miss a beat at all. He made this trip so enjoyable and worry free with everything he did. Even just communicating with him was amazing before I even met him. Anytime I had a question he was there to answer it. He did phone calls and he did webinars, I was so nervous and worried going into this trip as this was my first backpacking experience ever. Even climbing Half Dome the trip we did was just amazing with him, his communication skills are top notch that is he is perfect for this. I would definitely book with Jesse again. He was truly amazing!!! I can't wait to book my next trip with him after this, he is now considered a close friend ! I could seriously go on and on and on about Jesse and his skills out in the wilderness and just the way he handles everything. He literally took care of everything breakfast lunch dinner trail map camping everything. All the snacks he provided he made sure we did not go hungry that's for sure let alone all the electrolytes everything he provided was perfect he knows his stuff! Thank you again Jesse and thank you 57 hours for this great experience that I had I can't wait to book my next trip! This seriously was an amazing learning experience for me and I plan to be backpacking more and more after this! Best adventure of my life was my first time ever backpacking and I am so...
Read moreThe bike and sail Croatia tour with Ivo, Ivan and Aleksander was fabulous. They were amazing hosts and exceeded my expectations. Everything from food to bikes was top notch. Ivo arranged for me to rent a Santa Cruz Hightower MTB which was great on the trails and steep descends. Ivo was an excellent bike guide and very patient. I’m more of a road cyclist and novice MTB rider, he offered great tips and instruction for me to become more confident and comfortable on the trails. Ivan was a great cook and kept us well-fed. Aleksander was fun to chat with and an excellent skipper. I liked that the itinerary was somewhat flexible according to what we felt like doing. The group often like just hanging out on the boat in coves after a hot day of riding. It was so nice to jump into the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic upon waking up in the morning. We also did a lot of great excursions like olive oil and wine tasting and a hike to an old hidden monastery in Brac. It was wonderful to make new friends and see so much of beautiful Croatia. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is active and appreciates nature. I would love to do...
