We arrived Kotor by cruise ship and met the tour just outside the ship terminal. The ride was over a previous rail line, going through the old tunnels was awesome. We learned a lot about Slovenia and the area from the guide. If you are an older or inexperienced rider request a step -thru bike so you don't have to swing your leg over the seat.
Excellent bike tour through several towns in Slovenia. The guide was very informative, and we saw a lot of cool things you would not see on a bus tour. We saw several small "local" towns outside of the tourist areas, beaches, cliffs, and countryside. The company provided ebikes which were new this season. This was my first experience with an ebike and it made the experience a lot more fun.
A lovely ride and very do-able by anyone who likes to ride a bike. We had a mixture of rail-to-trail, bike and hike trails, and bike lanes. The scenery was incredible. Our equipment was in excellent condition (new Elan e-bikes) and everyone at the bike company from we interacted with were friendly and helpful.
So enjoyed this tour! We were met right at the cruise port and our tour guide Peter was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We got to see so much of Koper and surrounding cities and the route was beautiful! The e-bikes were very new and a joy to ride too! Highly recommend this tour!
Great experience! Our guide Crt was waiting for us at the cruise port, and brought us to and from the starting location. Riding the e-bikes was a wonderful way to see so much of the Slovenian coast, countryside, and multiple villages. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable , giving insightful information of Slovenia, we enjoyed learning so much from him. We highly recommend this tour!
Crt was a great guide. We enjoyed his riding tour and his company. We saw parts of the coast and learned things we would never have found on our own.
Loved our guide who was very knowledgeable about all the towns we went through! Bikes are in great condition and easy to use. It was a great way to see the coastal towns with great views. Would highly recommend!
This was the best excursion of our 7 day cruise!! Peter our guide on the bikes was so fun and took us on the most gorgeous route through vineyards, coastal villages, the city and absolutely stunning views! At the end we had a curated lunch I. A beautiful private location overlooking the ocean. Thank you so much for such a fabulous day we will always remember!!
Incredible scenery and a fun day of riding. The lunch at the end was over the top. Do it! The bikes were great condition.
