WHY FIORE TOURS​

Travel Adventure Agency Fiore tours is founded in 1992. We are Croatian’s thr most experienced operator of adventure, cultural and gourmet travel in Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia & Hercegovina and Montenegro. Every year Fiore adventure pioneers over 100 self guided cycling and guided walking programmes, from one-day trips to extended overland, adventure, cultural and gourmet tours for singles, couples, small groups, family reunions, clubs or friends.

Traveling in small groups between 4 and 18 people gives you lots of freedom – much like you would have if you were traveling with friends. Small group travel provides safety, security and the right amount of pre planning that independent travel lacks.

Our tours provide lots of opportunities to explore the beauty of nature, discover natural wonders, interact with the local people and really get involved in fun activities.

THE STORY BEHIND OUR BUSINESS​

In early 90’s , after finishing high school, Dalibor decided to start with own business in tourism. It was the most logical choice because also his parents worked many years in travel industry. Dalibor and his father Franko have decided to start with own travel agency. Fiore Tours Ltd was founded in 1992 and started as inbound tour operator in June 1993. Our beginning was mainly based on clients accommodation in hotels, apartments and private accommodation in Croatia, including complete tourist service ( guests transportation, representative service in hotels and at airport, including daily excursion program) to foreign tour operators. After years of experience in leading groups on different tours throughout Croatia, Dalibor has decided to create special programs with a difference and started to offer an unbeatable range of walking, hiking, mountain biking, road cycling, sea kayaking, family and other adventure holidays.

Today, Fiore Tours has grown to become one of the Croatian leading independent adventure travel company specialised in organising adventure, cultural and gourmet travel in Croatia. From day one, we have been motivated by the desire to take small groups of like-minded people to some of the Croatian most remote and rarely-visited locations and to provide an authentic travel experience. We have tailored our group sizes to ensure that each individual is able to make the most of the regions where we travel and the activities we engage in within the context of a small group of like minded people travelling together.

WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL?

Tourism is the world’s fastest growing industry. Traveling to far flung places gives us a wonderful opportunity to experience cultures that are so different from our own. But with the wondrous joy of travel comes the responsibility of ensuring that we do not adversely affect those countries that we visit. In a nutshell, Responsible Travel is about ensuring that you, as travelers, and Fiore Adventure, as a promoter of travel:

  • respect the local culture
  • do not inadvertently introduce new social ills and
  • promote & practice environmental responsibility in the places that we visit


That way, you enjoy a unique and memorable experience as well as authentic cross-cultural exchange and our local resources, cultures and customs are protected.

It has always been at the heart of Fiore Adventure’ ethos to not exploit local communities’ culture and environment.

We ensure our tours are:

  • low impact on natural resources
  • respectful and observant of local customs and
  • supportive of local economies


All staff of Fiore Adventure are locally employed and all our guides are, ensuring a more authentic experience for travelers, as well as sensitivity to local customs and culture. We also involve local communities in remote areas that we travel to.


Our environmental policy:

  • We recycle all our waste paper
  • Our correspondence and promotion is carried out via the internet and email, minimizing the amount of paper used for our activities
  • We use established, locally-owned and run accommodation wherever possible and aim to leave sites in better condition than we find them.
  • Our vehicle fleet is managed to minimise environmental impact.
  • Our group sizes are small, helping minimise cultural and environmental impact.
  • We monitor our impact, and where necessary alter our programmes accordingly.
  • We always abide by site-specific guidelines pertaining to flora and fauna.


Social policy:

  • All staff of Fiore Adventure are locally employed and all our guides are, ensuring a more authentic experience for travelers, as well as sensitivity to local customs and culture. We also involve local communities in remote areas that we travel to.
  • Our accommodation is mostly provided in small hotels, guest houses or apartments.
    On all our tours we use local produce and provide local-style meals, and we encourage our guests to try local dishes and delicacies
  • We support local economy and small business by supporting locally owned shops, restaurants, and using local guide services.
    Using local employees, accommodation providers, local restaurants and transportation services, Fiore Adventure ensures that financial benefits remain in the local community.

What you can do:

  • Learn something about Croatia: culture, religion, geography, politics and local customs.I strongly recommend to get a good travel guide such as Lonely Planet guides or Croatian Tourism Board. They are very useful before and during your staying.
  • Try to speak at least a few words of Croatian, you will make a big impression by doing it and it’s also a show of respect and interest on your part.
  • In many places fresh water is a very precious commodity and should not be wasted, so use a minimum for showering and washing, especially when you are on islands, tap water is drinkable throughout Croatia
  • Turn out the lights or air condition when you leave your room, use the public transport as much as you can, minimize your waste generally
  • Pick up your litter, never live any trace in nature, when you are in rural areas please stay to the trails and don’t damage or take any plants or flowers

Packing list – adventure travel
One word: versatility. Your destination and the duration of time you’re traveling generally dictates what—and how much—to bring along. But whether you’re living out of your bag for two weeks or four months, pack clothes that can do double duty, ones that are functional enough for the trail but sharp enough not to stand out in a city. Sun hats can become rain hats, backpacks with detachable daypacks free your hands when lugging your gear from bus stop to hotel, and a good pair of travel pants with a concealed zipper pocket could stand in for a money belt.

When it comes to clothing, stay away from cotton (or at least aim for poly/cotton blends; it may be comfortable, but it takes forever to dry), and try for wrinkle-free clothes. Pack one nice outfit for that must-have dinner in a Parisian café, and always have pants or a skirt that’s long enough to cover your legs should you be traveling in a country where custom dictates a degree of modesty. In warmer climes, you’ll naturally be packing lighter. In cooler locales, layering will stretch your wardrobe. Another piece of advice: darker colors generally blend in anywhere, let you mix and match without becoming a fashion accident, and save the hassle of constant washing. And if you’re heading someplace with inexpensive markets and shopping (Southeast Asia, for example), you can always buy a few new items when the need or desire strikes.

In the brave new world of bags, you can get a rolling bag/backpack hybrid that gives you the versatility, and the newer generation of rollers come with wheels that swallow up Central European cobblestone as much as NYC asphalt. But if you’re uncertain, let your interest be your guide. Trekking in Annapurna? Go with a traditional backpack. Crawling the pavement of South America’s metropolises? A rolling bag will save your back and serve you well.
