This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

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 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.
