    Zolan was professional yet personable. The sites were extraordinary! The towns and ride was super. I am in shape but did find it to be a good challenge despite the e-bike assist. I love a challenge but that should be considered.

    This was such a great way to spend the day sightseeing a different part of Istria and the whole family (including 16 and 12 year old teenagers) really enjoyed it. The ebikes were excellent and in great condition, our guide Zoran was great sharing lots of info en route and taking photos for us which he shared afterwards and the stop of lunch at Grozjnan was lovely. If you want to do something different to going to the beach, I’d highly recommend this tour.

    The whole tour was fantastic -- charming mountaintop villages and the old railroad grade trail through the forest was so beautiful! Zoran is a great guide, it was a perfect day.

Your guide will show you around the small town and tell you about its history. You'll have some free time to have a snack, a pizza, or a coffee or drink on your own. After the break, we'll continue our e-bike route and will enjoy the most scenic parts of the ride. We'll cycle on the Parenzana, a historic railroad bed now used by cyclists and hikers. Pedal through a series of tunnels and over stone bridges as you take in the breathtaking views of Istria's rolling green hills stretching into the distance. The loop route will take us back to the starting point just below Motovun.
