Our one week tour of Slovenia with these 3 young local guides surpassed all expectations! We travelled from Bled through the Sovenian Alps all the way to to coastal seaside Piran, through villages , on backroads ….it felt like riding through a story book….a delightful surprise around every turn . Our guides took care of our every need: charming accommodations, snacks every day at fantastic off beat locations, mid-ride. We covered 250 km over 5 riding days. The one day we were rained out, they quickly pivoted, and we were able to visit a wonderful historical national museum, which informed us so much in terms of the history in the Soča valley…So the day became not a write off but an educational experience! It was quite special to know the history of the Soča valley as we journeyed through the region, seeing the incredible geographical diversity of this beautiful country on excellent quality e-bikes. Highly recommend! Trip of a lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble.
We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !!
Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location.
The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes.
Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless.
Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Europe Cycle Holidays provides unparalleled knowledge about cycling in Slovenia. Their service, communication, and willingness to work with their clients is top notch.
Friends and I reached out looking for guidance on a 3-week self-guided tour starting and ending in Ljubljana. Klemen and his crew have been abundantly helpful in route development and identifying lodging opportunities. You won't find a better resource for cycling in Slovenia - whatever your needs, drop them a line as they can surely make your holiday complete!

Europe Cycling Holidays organized a customized, self-guided road cycling trip for my husband and I from Ljubljana to the Julian Alps and ending in Piran in Slovenia. At the beginning of the organizing process, I used their ZOOM mtg option to ask a lot of questions and determine what we wanted e.g. hotels, room upgrades, routes, etc. With follow-up emails over the next few weeks, and fixing a few glitches that arose, we were excited for our 10-day trip. And we were NOT disappointed! Our trip was amazing. The rental bikes, hotels, GPX files, scheduled luggage transfers, detailed itinerary in an app (including restaurant suggestions, GPS profiles, bike shops en route, luggage pickups), etc. were all amazing. The country of Slovenia is incredibly beautiful and we enjoyed the challenges of the routes in the Alps, the serenity of Lake Bled, the spectacular scenery of Goriška Brda wine region, and everything in between. We had quick responses via WhatsApp from Customer Service for any issues we had during our trip e.g. organizing a van transfer on a day we decided not to ride due to a fall and bad weather. Overall, we had a great experience in Slovenia and highly recommend Europe Cycling Holidays.

The bike trip exceeded my expectations and was beyond fantastic. From Ljubljana to Bled with a guide through the Hidden Hills. Then my first solo self guided from the Alps in Bled to Piran in the Adriatic.
I can’t say enough about the Slovenia Cycling Holidays crew who gave me guidance and confidence to take out on my own. Not to mention the extraordinary routes that they mapped out.

We booked a week long cycling trip through Timotej’s business. It was a self guided trip where Slovenia Cycling Holidays booked our hotels, arranged transfer of luggage between hotels, organized rented bicycles, and provided us recommended cycling routes. They provided us with a very well organized itinerary with information about the places we visited and recommendations for restaurants, etc.
We had a few hiccups, but overall it was a great experience! Timotej was quick to respond to any questions or issues we encountered. This was a great way to discover Slovenia by bicycle. I highly recommend using them!

We hebben genoten van Slovenië, en de volledig georganiseerde fietsreis. Een heel erg mooi gebied mer veel variatie.
We reden op eigen fietsen en namen onze bagage zelf mee. Dit was best zwaar soms, vooral over de heuvels en de off-road trajecten, het was onze eigen keuze.
We werden verrast door de bijzondere hotels, sommigen zeer smaakvol, sommige niet helemaal onze keuze. Echter dat was prima, we hebben ons laten verrassen.
Het was een prachtig avontuur en smaakt zeker naar meer.
Dank Timotei, de organisatie was uitstekend.

Had a fantastic cycling tour in Slovenia for our group of 12 organised by Slovenia Cycling Holidays covering Ljubljana, Lake Bled and Kranjska Gora over a week. Beautiful scenery, great road surface to ride, excellent ride guides who focussed on local aspects, riding safety and fitted in really well with our group. We experienced good organisation for the tailored tour which included local cultural and historical perspectives and arranged a good programme for two non-riders. Highly recommended place to cycle and certainly recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays to assist with your trip.

We recently completed the cycling tour from Bled to Piran with Slovenia Cycling Holidays. All the organising and running of the tour was excellent. We had excellent communication with Anna during the planning and also excellent and very helpful advice during the trip from Timotej
We were unlucky on the final day to strike severe thunderstorms which made the day very difficult and less enjoyable. The weather stopped us enjoying the wonderful scenery into Piran. Timotej offered to transport us, but we wished to complete the ride.
We can wholeheartedly recommend this Company if you wish a good cycling adventure with very good accommodation along the way.
Thanks Anja and Timothy

So last minute holiday and the team at Slovenia Cycling managed to turn around a bespoke package really quickly in peak tourist season!
The cycle routes are great and easy to follow whilst the trip app has all the details on hotels and transfers whilst the things to see and places to eat was invaluable.
Team are super responsive when you have questions which are handled quickly on Whats App.
Will definitely use them again.

A very good travel agency (also known as "Slovenia Cycling Holidays") who worked flexibly with me to develop our tailor-made holiday based on the self-guided hike and bike tour. Staff were always pleasant and responsive and patient with changing plans. Note this is not a bike holiday operator so, while they book hotels, taxis to move your luggage, hire bikes and a guide for walking, they don't provide technical back up, a van or their own bikes customised for touring. We therefore had to ask a few questions about those small but essential things like where to leave luggage, when bikes would be delivered and where were our promised phone holders (essential as you use your own phone for navigating). The hike and bike is a brilliant concept, as you miss out on the interior of the mountains if you only travel by road. The route was very good, hotels were all great, and the guide (see separate review on "Triglav Tours") amazing. Sadly, though, we did not receive the call on the rainy day (as another reviewer mentions) to arrange faster luggage delivery after a short, but drenching, ride. We tried to get this, but It in fact came late, so we were stuck in a hotel room in Bled for 4 hours on a sunny afternoon with nothing but hotel bathrobes to wear! Our contact responded when we asked for help, but we did not experience the proactivity mentioned by others. That said, the company clearly have well established links with excellent providers and can be trusted to put everything in place and to respond quickly if an arrangement has fallen through. Recommended, but be prepared to be involved yourself in the finer details.

Our experience (5 day ride from Bled to Trieste) was fantastic. Europe Cycling was great on all aspects. The routes were clear and on rural roads with little traffic. The hotels were great. The service was fantastic (including a rain day where 4 of our group were transported by van from one location to another - arranged quickly and easily with the team on the actual day). You wont be disappointed. We'd definitely use them again.

My wife and I just came back from the self-guided tour 'from the Alps to the Adriatic' with Slovenia Cycling Holidays.
Beautiful country with breathtaking scenery, all the places where we stayed were superb, more than we expected. And of course, good slovenian cuisine with good wine and beer.
Everything was well done by Slovenia Cycling Holidays, from planning to service and support : all the questions answered, all the special requests handled. Everything went as planned.
But most importantly we felt safe and not being left alone on the trails in the mountains because Anja was steadily reachable to resolve any issue that might happen.
She resolved the few problems that arose swiftly and efficiently, to our entire satisfaction thus allowing us not only to complete the tour as scheduled but also to arrive every day at destination early enough to enjoy good slovenian wine and beer at the fabulous european terrasses.
So our deep gratitude to Anja and a big thank you to the whole team for having made this trip memorable.
It's without hesitation that we recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays.

While researching for a self-guided bike tour, my wife and I came across the offer from the Alps to the Adriatic from Slovenia Cycling Holidays.
We really appreciated the support from Daja and Anja when planning our tour. They were very flexible at all times, even when it came to the discussion of possible tour change requests or the choice of hotel.
Back from the tour, we look back on a great trip, where not only the weather but also the "administrative" things went very well. From the hotel bookings to the luggage transportation as well as the GPS navigation, past great sights and along varied routes, everything always worked very well.
Overall, the price-value ratio was very good and we would choose Slovenia Cycling Holidays definitely again.

Loved our bike ride from lake Bled in Slovenia to Pula in Croatia over 13 days .We were given excellent hard tail bikes with 650WH batteries. The scenery was amazing. The route we followed was on a GPS supplied by the company and went on rural roads and tracks with virtually no traffic The organisation by the company was terrific and our bags were delivered promptly to our hotels. The hotels were well situated in the old part of towns we stayed in
I would highly recommend this trip. One of the most interesting and scenic self guided bike tours I have ever been on

They took time, care and attention to make sure the trip was designed specifically for our needs and interests. The communication was excellent from day one and we felt completely supported and safe in their hands. The locations we cycled to and through were unbelievably beautiful and completely dependent on intricate local knowledge of the country. We had the BEST holiday and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
