OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Imagine cycling through two of Europe’s most stunning regions, where every turn of the pedals brings you closer to nature, culture, and a profound sense of achievement.
This eight-day road cycling tour takes you deep into the heart of Slovenia’s alpine wilderness and Croatia’s sunlit coastlines.
In Slovenia, you will ride through alpine meadows and dense forests, tackle high-altitude climbs like the serpentine ascent of the Vršič Pass, Slovenia's highest mountain road. A true test of endurance, the alpine portion of the tour will provide you with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
After taking in the peaks of Triglav National Park, you’ll feel as if you’d been transported to another realm when reaching the Adriatic coast, crossing over to Croatia.
Here, quiet coastal roads wind through historic towns and fishing villages, offering glimpses of the region’s Roman and Venetian heritage. Poreč and Rovinj captivate with their cobblestone streets, colorful harbors, and centuries-old landmarks, while inland routes reveal the rural beauty of Istria.
On each day, the undulating terrain tests your mettle, but the rewards – both scenic and sensory – are unmatched!
Throughout the journey, you can expect a mix of technical climbs, exhilarating descents, and stretches that allow you to find your rhythm. An expert guide will accompany you throughout the tour, offering invaluable support, encouragement, and expertise.
With their deep knowledge of the terrain and local culture, they ensure your experience is seamless, from navigating the most scenic routes to finding the best spots for a well-deserved break.
For added ease, logistics are expertly managed, ensuring you can focus entirely on the road.

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.


Had a ball! We rode from Ljubljana to Bled via the mountains - 5 days/4 nights. Daja did a great job communicating with us and ironing out any hitches as soon as they were identified. E-Bikes were great (and v necessary!), accomm was great and the scenery was extraordinary! Being less fit, I wished I had opted for a days’ break at Lake Bohinj. My legs and butt would have appreciated it. Can’t wait to return and do another riding tour with this company!


G’day Klem, Back in Australia and just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our holiday. You guys did a wonderful job. The whole experience was first class. The bikes were excellent. The route was fun and well mapped using the app. The hotels were excellent. The hotel staff, outstanding. The food and wine truly memorable. I cannot recommend you guy’s highly enough. Our impressions of Slovenia as an outstanding destination, of beautiful scenery and friendly people will be passed onto all our friends. Thank you so much for a great holiday!


We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!
