What our clients say
- Great and Fun Way to See the City Our Zadar e-bike tour was a highlight of our two-week trip to Croatia. It was a private tour with just my wife and I and our guide, Mario. The bikes were in great shape and the instructions were easy. Mario did an excellent job of leading us and providing a history and description of the city. He kept us going at a good pace (I was afraid we'd be forced to go very slow) and negotiated us through some construction zones. We considered just renting bikes and touring on our own, but I'm glad we went with Mario. His English was very good and he provided just the right amount of information, not too little or too much. Our tour lasted about 2 1/2 hours. We thought it was an excellent value for the price and a great way to see the city. We'd definitely recommend it.read moreread lessRaceBannen10/28/2024Wonderful way to explore Zadar - these guys are great! As this was our first visit to Zadar, we figured that a cycle tour with electric bikes would be a great way to see the place. We booked a Zzuum Guided Tour and it was fantastic. Our guide was Mario and he was engaging and knowledgable. We saw great sites, both within the city area and also in the outlying areas and he explained the various important areas and locations and where appropriate the historic significance. The bikes were great and in good condition and easy to operate. We had a most enjoyable time and I highly recommend this tourread moreread lesshowards20106/16/2024
- Zzum hielp mij geweldig toen ik problemen met mijn kogafiets had in Zadar. Ze hebben in no time mijn fiets gerepareerd, maar dan ook de hele fiets goed nagekeken, absoluut niet duur. Daarnaast meegedacht in routes, deze meegekregen en daardoor een fantastische route gefietst naar Skradin waarbij de autoweg werd vermeden! dit adres een 100% aanrader
Minke Doumaread moreread lessMinke Douma6/14/2024Great day out! This was our first time in Zadar and we often hire bikes/bike tour in other places so thought we would enjoy a self-guided island tour! The island is beautiful and we would love to stay here on our next visit. We were provided with everything that we needed for the trip from locks to spare tires to a huge side bag, meaning we were able to take towels and water shoes.
There were a few small things, but this definitely did not affect our day and i would still highly recommend!! Staff at the shop provided us with a map and lovely location for a small town and beach that was a bit further out, but we were really glad we visited as it was so lovely and quiet!!
We had bikes booked for 9am through Viator, but received a message to say our ferry was not due till 11:30am and to get there an hour before. We still arrived at 9am as i thought we could catch the 9:30 ferry (I did not realise with a bike you needed to go to the main dock around 25mins away and so we could not catch this one). We did however have the full day as the shop shut at 2pm meaning we were able to keep the bikes overnight and ride them back in the morning which was great for us, as our accommodation was far out!
Staff explained to us that we should take the road path as the other path on the map was for mountain bikes (we were given more city bikes). We did however find the distance a long way and the roads were up large hills, next time we would defiantly opt for a mountain bike or an electric bike.
We did see that there were also lots of places to hire bikes from as little as €20 a day, i think we would have saved some money in hiring a bike and paying for our own ferry tickets as we easily also used google maps whilst on the island (we had paid £47 each for bike+ferry ticket)read moreread lessTravelz_DS6/11/2024Everything You Need for Cycling around Zadar and The Islands Fantastic bike rental outlet, with many cycling tour options. Zzumm had a wide range of bikes (mountain, road and e-bikes). Equally important is that they were so friendly and helpful in providing information about cycling the area (maps, tips, ferry information etc, etc0. We did 3 different self-guided tours to Ugljan, Passim and Dugi Otok . fantastic cycling and beautiful places to visit. Highly Recommend visiting the Zzumm team, in the Old Town.read moreread lesscolin s6/09/2024 - Electric bikes in Zadar My wife and I hired electric bikes from Zzuum for three days during our short trip to Zadar. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The bikes were of a very good standard and well-equipped. Checking the bikes out and back was very straightforward and quick.
The bikes were great for exploring Zadar and its surroundings. They were perfect for travelling the 5km from where we were staying into town and we did a longer 35km round trip to Nin which was a lovely walled half-island up the peninsula.
Thanks to all of the team at Zzuum.read moreread lessJim H5/15/2024Electric Bikes are amazing way to see Zadar! Seeing Zadar on an electric bike was amazing!

When I arrived at the site, they gave me a helmet and a bike. They will help you adjust your seat and the handle so you can enjoy a smooth ride. Then they explained what the tour would consist of, and afterward, you start riding. The tour guide was friendly and makes sure you don't fall behind. You get to take amazing pictures and learn about the history of zadar.read moreread lessDavid V5/07/2024Super easy and helpful with bike rental and choosing a location to ride. They spent extra time helping add navigation to my phone and suggestions for Island rides. Added touch: while at their office they took time to help an older touring couple with a bike fix that was ready within the hour to keep them riding. Highly recommended!read moreread lessJohn Montgomery10/21/2023
- My husband and 2 teenagers visited Zadar on a Celebrity Cruise and booked a day with some bicycles with ZZUUM. It was very easy to find and the owner was super helpful and friendly. She gave us maps and helped us navigate to where we wanted to ride. The bicycles were in great shape, the prices were reasonable and we had a great time! Zadar is beautiful! I highly recommend using ZZUUM for your tour needs! Oh, and a bonus were the 2 cute cats hanging outside the office!read moreread lessSharee Gatto9/21/2023Fantastic service. Great bikes with no issues at all. Really handy how they proved dry bags with the bikes and spare tubes incase of a popped tyre (which we had to use) and really nice lady who gave us a nice itinerary for our day on the bikes. €20 was for 24 hours so we returned the next morning so we could use them though the evening. Perfect. Thanks again 😊read moreread lessC S9/21/2023

The service was absolutely stunning: quick, professional and realistic. As a bonus, Bruno turned the bikes around on the day so we could keep going the following morning.
They also offer bike tours and rental around the area so worth checking them out when getting your cycling fix in Zadar.
