Croatia Travel Co. Staff
Croatia Travel Co. (Pino Travel D.O.O.) is a family owned company with a team of local experienced professional tour guides specialized in the fields of cycling, hiking and ecotourism.
Both day excursions and programs are planned by a logistics manager and a program manager:
– Logistic Manager: responsible for planning and organizing the stock of food & beverages; coordinating transportation services, lodgings, and access to wild protected areas; running the check list for first aid kit, radio communication and common equipment.
– Program Manager: evaluates weather conditions and prepares the gear for the excursions and tours; coordinates the tour guides that are responsible for each trip and checks the clients’ profile to remark if there is anything important to keep in mind in terms of health & security, such as allergies, medicines, medical conditions, vegetarian diets and so on.
Our company’s standard is to employ 1 tour guide per each 9-persons group and add another tour guide when the group is of 10 persons or more.
During the operation of our programs and day excursions, we commonly support our guided nature and cultural interpretations with didactic items such as books and field-guides, which help us to explain the characteristics of an area or any species under protection.

Insurance
Croatia Travel Co. (Pino Travel D.O.O.) shall not be held responsible for any damage, expense or inconvenience caused by late arrival of public transport, change of schedule, strikes, vehicle breakdown, Acts of God, or other conditions. The right is reserved to alter the itinerary should it be deemed necessary.
In any adventure activity, there is an element of risk involved. Croatia’s accident compensation scheme provides only limited assistance to visitors to Croatia who are injured. We strongly recommend that all travelers to Croatia have full insurance covering any injury they might suffer, including medical treatment cover, before undertaking this activity.
Cycling tours count with insurance. Therefore, all clients must have the appropriate insurance that covers the activity or activities involved in the excursion(s) and/or program(s). Without proof of the appropriate insurance the client will not be allowed to participate in the excursion.
Any policy you purchase should, at the very least, cover trip cancellation, loss of baggage, accident/life coverage, travel delays, and non-refundable airline tickets.
Carriers for travel insurance include World Nomads, Travel Guard and Travelex. You may also consider insurance that covers emergency medical evacuation. Search the web to find the best deal that suits your needs – read the fine print –
