Pula Highlights Bike Adventure

We had organised a 5 day ebike trip cycling from Koper to Pula - Bojan delivered 4 great bikes to our hotel and met us on our return to Pula - he was super helpful With great communication

We read an article in the NYT about a bike trip down the Istrian coast and knew it was a trip we would love to take. We decided to have it be the second week of our honeymoon after hiking hut to hut in the Dolomites for week one. We started in Trieste and rented bikes from Bojan at Pula Bikes. He was AMAZING. Excellent communication, delivered bikes to us in Trieste and stored our large hiking packs until we exchanged bikes back a week later in Pula. He was always available if we had route questions and his gear was very helpful. It was much more seamless than taking the long train trip back up north as suggested in the article. We did not find the paths from town to town to be as clearly marked as we assumed and as the article seems to suggest. There is more biking along with traffic than expected (often on very large hills up or down) which was doable but not anticipated. Ultimately, we found that the app Komoot was extremely helpful and accurate to help us set and direct our routes. Bojan was always available whether we had questions about the bikes, the path or the towns we passed. He was always prompt, kind and helpful. His prices even with delivery and storage of packs were better than competitors also.

My husband and I just came back from a bike trip through Istria trom Trieste, in Italy, to Pula, Croatia. It was absolutely wonderful, not only for the beautiful scenery, the people, the food, but also thanks to the services that we received. I first contacted a travel agency apparently specializing in such trips but was unsatisfied with the slowness - and cost - of the process, so I went online and found Pula Bike. We then rented electrically assisted bicycles that were of good quality and in ship shape. From the get go, the contact with Bojan was easy, open and clear. He delivered the bikes to us in Trieste, our point of departure, at the exact time that we had agreed on. Then at the end of our trip, he came to pick them up at our hostel in Pula. All along the trip he was available in case we needed any information or service. I found out that he also provides luggage transport services, but I didn’t know that before, however I have no doubt that they would be excellent. For the luggage, our experience with Predrag, of Quick Transport, was also great. He even went out of his way in Rovinj to make sure that we found the well hidden gem of a hostel that we had booked by waiting for us there in order to guide us - and help to transport the bikers up and down long stairs. He himself contacted our hosts to make the arrangements for every pick up and delivery. For directions, we used BikeMap. I didn’t get to master all its functions in the time we were in Croatia, but i would use it again, even at home in Canada. It always led us to our destination albeit, particularly in the beginning, we weren’t sure it knew what it was going by leading us through vineyards, fields, trails barely defined or visibly used, and at times rocky, mountain bike quality trails, even though I thought that I had clearly set it on ‘e-bike’ and ‘balanced’ itinerary. We learned to trust it and we still enjoyed the rides, even the slightly challenging ones.

We came to Croatia/Slovenia to ride on the historic Parenzana Trail; beginning in Muggia, Italy and ending in Pula, Croatia. Having independently planned several extensive, cross country bike trips, the most difficult part is renting bikes in one location and returning them hundreds of miles away. After emailing many bike rental agencies, I found Pula Bike (and more importantly, Bojan). His prices for both rental, delivery and pickup were better than his competitors and his email responsiveness was what we all hope for but rarely receive. Meeting him in person was delightful. He is welcoming, courteous and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable about Pula. The e-bikes we rented were dependable and provided a comfy ride even over some very chunky gravel. Congrats to Bojan for running, in our opinion, a successful business.

Solid sturdy gravel bike, was a good ride on the typically rough surfaces.delivery and pick up worked very smooth. Recommend. Thank you!

We rented two gravel bikes, which was very nice. My girlfriend and I could cycle everywhere. Pula was also a great place to cycle.

We rented mountain bikes for 3 days, the bikes were in good conditions and served us really well. The bike delivery and pick up at the desired location was extremely convenient. A special mention to Bojan, who was very friendly, kind, helpful and very flexible. Communication with him was always easy, he was always available and very responsive. He also provided us with some maps for bike tours around pula. Overall we had a great experience!

Fun bike ride to see the highlights around Pula. Great to scope out some beach spots and get a feel for the town and its surroundings.

We used Pula Bike to transport our 3 bikes and panniers from Pula to Trieste at the end of a long bike tour. We had a lovely experience with the company, and Bojan in particular. Bojan and I communicated via email over several months to coordinate and finalize plans. He was always professional, prompt, and extremely accommodating. We enjoyed talking with him on our car transport - just a great guy! Highly recommend!

Delivery and pick up to our hotel outside Pula made it very convenient and Bojan was quick to respond and helpful. We enjoyed it!
