You may choose from various bike types (road, gravel, trekking), with e-bikes available for those seeking a less challenging and leisurely trip. All bikes come equipped with the newest components, and the terrain of the trip is adjusted based on your fitness level and your choice of bike.
The tour is available as a fully guided or self-guided tour and is fully flexible. We may adjust the itinerary to your desired liking, adding a rest day, an alternative hike day, or a visit to a local destination of your choosing.
All roads and cycle paths are well-maintained and the traffic is relatively low. You will have our team's 24/7 support throughout the trip, ensuring a memorable and safe journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ratings & Reviews


I found this place with a simple Google search, and I never could’ve expected the custom experience I received. They provided options to help my husband and I hone in on exactly what we wanted to do for our honeymoon. We had perfectly curated GPS-lead rides all across the country, they booked all of our hotels, and planned all of our transportation. Every place that we went was so beautiful. I’m so grateful that we found this company to help us plan our honeymoon, couldn’t have asked for a better experience!


This was the best cycling experience we have ever had! The Julian Alps are spectacular, and the people of Slovenia are the kindest people. We went through so many amazing places. I cannot recommend this company enough. Everything was perfect.


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.


Slovenia Cycling Holidays arranged a custom itinerary for my friends and I to do an 8 day cycling trip (10 nights of lodging) around the Julian Alps and to the coast at Piran. Their planning made it really easy for us to arrive to Slovenia with all details of our trip already figured out. They booked our lodging, provided luggage transfers, and gave us daily GPS files for the cycling route every day which made for an amazing trip! I'd definitely recommend this company for your next cycling trip you do in Slovenia or other parts of Europe!
