I will be in Italy in October 2022 and we would like to do a 6 day bike trip from Trieste, Italy to Pula, Croatia. We’re looking for a bike rental company in Trieste that rents gravel bikes and pedal-assist e-bikes. The other option we’ve considered is doing a self-guided tour with a company that would transport our bags since one of the four riders is less experienced. We'd welcome recommendations on bike rentals or tour companies. Thanks!
Can't help on independently doing this, but I have met people all over Europe doing bike tours from this company:

did you see the article in the NYT about this? Dont know if you'll have access to this:

I did - thanks. I should have mentioned that.
I just wondered if anyone had experience with other bike shops or a company that provides bag transfers.
