Dalibor was born and raised in Croatia. He graduated from the University of Political Science in Zagreb, the direction of journalism, but he was never too much into it because of his love for the Great Outdoors. Apart from mountaineering, speleology, wandering through forests and mountains, cycling is his greatest passion. Road or mountain bike, it doesn't matter as long as it's on 2 wheels. Since he and his family moved from Zagreb to the island of Hvar, he can ride all year round. During the winter he works as a bike trainer for the kids on Hvar island. Dalibor has been in tourism for over 10 years, not only as a guide but also as a tour organizer. In the end, he is a vegetarian and eats only specific kinds of food, so everybody who doesn't eat meat will feel safe in his hands.

Bruno Kuzmanic, Tour Leader

Born and raised in Karlovac, Croatia. From an early age, the bicycle was my only means of transportation. Living a very active life has directed me to finish the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb, majoring in recreation. At different stages of my life, I was involved in various sports activities such as training athletics, handball, karate, archery, and tennis, engaged in mountaineering and speleology, and participated in adventure racing. I had a more notable result in speed swimming as the junior champion of Croatia, which earned me the status of a top athlete in the 5th category in the Croatian Olympic Committee. I have had a lingering passion for diving since I was 14 years old, which I have done professionally for many years, eventually leading groups of divers and a diving school in the summer. In the winter, I worked with and assisted children at a ski school as a trainee ski instructor. After the diving era, I spent 15 years in the sales department, selling primarily diving but also expanding to tennis equipment. Today, diving is placed on the back burner and I dedicate most of my time to staying in the mountains as the main activity to maintain my fitness and physical well-being. In addition to hiking, I enjoy skiing and ski touring in the winter, while tennis is my main occupation in the summer times. Eventually, I returned to my roots by starting biking again which has always been an integral part of my life, and since I've been working with people all my life, I'm looking forward to returning from the office again.
