Sini is a great guide and driver who showed the two of us beautiful Istria in four days. Hill towns, islands, and coastal villages. He knows local culture, people, history, and especially - great restaurants. He also arranged for pick up in Venice, drop off in Trieste and a local guide in Trieste. This a great stress free way to see this part of the world. We highly recommend him.

We rode through some spectacular scenery, The electric bikes were great, and had very good batteries. However, I would not recommend Fiore for several reasons, mainly safety. 1. Far too much of their trail is on busy main roads, and their notes and maps need to be updated. a. Riding into Pula could have been along a coastal cycle/walkway, which would have been much safer. b. Their instructions aren't correct. 2. They do not give any information about major roadworks, nor road-closures because of a major Slovinian Ironman competition which forced us off cycle trails and onto major highways. 3. The bike tires do not have enough grip for the dangerously slippery Croatian roads when it's wet or rough. 4. Their helmets are old and do not meet safely standards. I crashed off, and had to go to hospital for facial xrays yet they didn't replace my helmet, nor were they interested when I stated they should throw it out as it would be compromised because of the crash. 5. They should fit helmets the night before cycling starts to ensure riders all have proper fitting helmets. One of our team had to wait 3 days before they gave her an adjustable proper fitting helmet. They should also give out instructions and maps the night before to give cyclists a chance to read instructions.before starting out. 6 The company should have their bikes insured as part of their hire agreement. The staff were friendly and office staff were quick to communicate, however the company should arrange to meet clients at the end of the tour, instead of just arranging for gear to be left at the last hotel.
