Our style and mission statement

Guided tours by M10

Guided bike tours by M10

If you search the web for the bike tours in Croatia, you will find at least 50 different tour companies offering their services in the area. And most of these companies have very good (if not excellent) products, with many years of experience in the adventure business. They have great web sites, great customer service and simply said these are great companies to use for your active holidays. There are differences between the various tours such as price, type of accommodation, van or no van support, number of guides on tour, number of guests per each departure and more… 

So why would you choose Meridien Ten for your next holiday? What sets apart Meridien Ten from other 50 tour companies offering more or less same bike tour?

Since the very beginning our idea was (and still is) to provide real experience, to give you the chance to meet the real people, try local food…  simply said to make sure you go back home from your holidays enriched by the experience you have received by visiting Croatia.

We are small (family owed) company with 20 (and more) years of experience in adventure tourism and focus on quality rather than quantity! Therefore, you will never see on our website many departure dates for our guided tour. We do make the living from this work, but we do not want to become a booking engine site where number of customers is the only number which matters. We are real and provide real experiences! 

 

Of course, gastronomical offer and historical sites are very important aspect of our tours, so it is for these other 50 tour companies we mentioned before. Then, we have our office team, who are making sure logistics run smoothly and their work can be called “behind the scenes work”. The other 50 companies have also great office teams…  

When choosing guides who lead our tours, besides professionalism, we are always looking for the ones who share our passion for authentic values and beauties of Croatia. Can you experience this by non-Croatian leading a bike tour in Croatia? How will he describe what it means when you say “pomalo” to someone?

Our tour leaders have to follow daily procedures. Same as all other tour leaders (talking about the other 50 bike touring companies). Small group sizes give our guides opportunity to be flexible and add a little bit of their flavour to the tour; whether it is the search for the ancestors in the village of Pučišća on Island Brac, unexpected hiking tour on Island Korcula, explain you the traditions and lifestyle or help to obtain gifts and souvenirs from distant locations.

It is the passion and love for Croatia combined with professionalism what makes count. From our office team, our local partners, bike mechanic to our guides – we all love our culture, food, history, costumes, tradition and we want to show it to the world! 

Besides our published/regular tour dates, we do specialise in custom or private tours, where all of the above is “blended” with your personal requests and wishes!
