Cycling Croatia Bruno Kuzmanic image

Born and raised in Karlovac, Croatia. From an early age, the bicycle was my only means of transportation. Living a very active life has directed me to finish the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb, majoring in recreation. At different stages of my life, I was involved in various sports activities such as training athletics, handball, karate, archery, and tennis, engaged in mountaineering and speleology, and participated in adventure racing. I had a more notable result in speed swimming as the junior champion of Croatia, which earned me the status of a top athlete in the 5th category in the Croatian Olympic Committee. I have had a lingering passion for diving since I was 14 years old, which I have done professionally for many years, eventually leading groups of divers and a diving school in the summer. In the winter, I worked with and assisted children at a ski school as a trainee ski instructor. After the diving era, I spent 15 years in the sales department, selling primarily diving but also expanding to tennis equipment. Today, diving is placed on the back burner and I dedicate most of my time to staying in the mountains as the main activity to maintain my fitness and physical well-being. In addition to hiking, I enjoy skiing and ski touring in the winter, while tennis is my main occupation in the summer times. Eventually, I returned to my roots by starting biking again which has always been an integral part of my life, and since I’ve been working with people all my life, I’m looking forward to returning from the office again.

Customer reviews

What a fabulous trip! This company is absolutely first rate. Krunoslav and Petra, who not only own the company, but accompany you on the tour, are engaging, knowledgeable, and amazingly organized.The hotels, the food, and the routes which were chosen were all excellent. We both ride electric bikes at our home in San Diego, and they provided us with superb electric bikes. Better than the ones we own.

The electric bikes allowed us to arrive at our destination after doing quite a few hills, with big smiles on our faces. I strongly recommend that you spend two extra days before the trip in Split, and two extra days at the end of the trip in the Dubrovnik. Both are Fascinating beautiful cities.

Thank you Krunoslav and Petra for a remarkable week in lovely Croatia……probably the best organized bike trip we’ve ever done!!

Paul Barry and Nelly Dean,

San Diego, California

We just returned home after the 10 day/9 night Dalmatia and National Parks tour, with an extra (independent) day in Zagreb and Dubrovnik that Kruno helped arrange. I won’t bore you with all the details of our trip – just assure you that you can’t go wrong signing up for this one.

Croatia is stunning anyways – I quickly adopted #allbeautifulallthetime when posting photos.

The tour itself was top notch also. We’ve never been on a premium Butterfield & Robinson tour, but extended family in our group had. They felt 80-90% of the Cycling Croatia tour was superior to the level of accommodations/meals/support on the B&R tour – at a fraction of the price. (And none of this CC tour was substandard.)

Bottom line: great country, great value, great itinerary, great guides, great food, great wine. Highly recommended.
