Excellent biking, tour, guide, and wine tasting - Fun ride with excellent tour of nearby monuments, not too difficult either. Yuri is an excellent guide with good mannerisms and knowledge of the area. Topped off with visits to old water mills and the river. Wine was excellent, everything is fresh and company is great. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting the Dubrovnik area.

Wonderful off the beaten path bike exploration outside of tourist hot spots! - Yuri is a young entrepreneur who wants to show the world the beauty of Croatia outside of all the touristy stops in Dubrovnik and we want to support him. We LOVED this bike excursion and feel so fortunate to have seen a little bit of Croatia that we know other tourists won't see. The ride is easy and GORGEOUS. You get to see a VERY cool fortress and Church and visit a small farm 45 minutes from the city. Plus, you get to get to visit a beautiful park with working mills that are very cool. I can't recommend this excursion enough!

An amazing off-the-beaten-path experience! - What a morning! Our amazing guide, Yuri, drove us an hour into the hills beyond Dubrovnik, to a working farm. From there we rode through beautiful scenery (almost all downhill) to a UNESCO necropolis, a 14th century fortress, a mill and a vineyard before being driven back to our hotel. A highlight of our trip!

Professionally guided morning seeing a different side of Croatia - Teo collected promptly from Cavtat and we drove up to a farm close to the Montenegro border. Raining hard on the way and were given the opportunity to cancel but are glad we continued. Easy cycling, mostly downhill stopping along the way at a church, a fort and some beautiful Watermills before arriving at the vineyard. At each place, we were obviously expected and welcomed, given informative, informal tours by Teo or the guide. The highlight was the wine tasting. We were not able to tour the vines as it was too wet but sat on the shady terrace as Renata explained how they make their wines and look after the vines. Tasted these alongside local cheeses before being driven back. Had the opportunity to purchase some wine but did not feel this was expected A lovely morning despite the weather

Amazing way to spend time in Dubrovnik - Teo was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He was so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He clearly wanted to give us the best experience possible. He was right on time to pick us up and drove us to the start of the bike ride, which was at a friends house/farm/Matko’s. Matko was soo very friendly and let us pet his donkeys, baby goats and I got to hold a baby goat who had recently lost its mama. The goat literally slept in my arms!! We then started our bike ride, which was stunning of the green hillside and made so many wonderful stops along the way. We stopped and toured the castle, spoke to many locals who were out and about and toured the wool water mill which was on a beautiful property with many waterfalls and running water all around. Then ended the tour at an amazing wine vineyard and had wine tasting with Renata. She was soo very kind and shared so much knowledge of her grape growing, wine making process and answered so many questions my husband asked along the way. Truly, such a wonderful way to spend a day in Dubrovnik! Thank you Teo for the experience;-)
