  We recently cycled Istria to the Adriatic self guided for one week. From our first contact with the company their service and response was outstanding. And the whole trip was... read more exactly as promised. This is our 14th cycling tour around the world and this is one of the very best.

  We did the translovenia 1 with 14 guys from Belgium. It was a wonderful experience. We are impressed by the beautiful country and the openness of the people. Our guide... read more Andrej was very pleasant. It was nice that he knew a lot about the history of the country. He is also flexible and pleasant to deal with. We rent hardtail, fully and e-bikes. They were all from a very good quality. Congratulations to Good-place who has made this trip work so well ! …

  The tour was just fantastic! Far better than we expected. Slovenia is a beautiful country with mountains, rivers and incredible wildness. Often we have encountered no other people all day... read more and were traveling alone in this breathtaking mountain world. Day 5 we had made the Classic route (hard), but with a short cut of 20km and 1000hm less by first being transported by a shuttle to Livek. I would recommend that to anyone who is not a super athlete. The tour on the Matajur and then the endless singletrack down to Italy and from there back to the Brda area is still a crack. The tour was very exhausting, but feasible. If necessary, there was always the opportunity to take an Easy variant. We had done that on day 6, when it was just too hot and could only make about 80 instead of the 90 km. Actually, all tour segments were great. First, the wild Julian Alps with the Soca River and then the transition to the Mediterranean Karst Mountains. Except for the hotel Kompas in Kranjska Gora we liked everything very much. The tour was packed with singletrack, which was our goal. Also the people in Slovenia were really nice. We always ate great, whenever possible local dishes. Particularly noteworthy are the good wines that we could test everywhere. The wine area around Tolmin is incredibly beautiful and the old town invites you to linger. The arrival in Piran is then an incredible satisfaction and you can jump to cool off into the sea. Of the hotels we liked best the Hotel St. Martin in Tolmin and the hotel Piran in Piran.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again. We will definitely book a tour again.

  We did a self-guided tour, starting in Kranjska Gora and finishing in Piran on the Adriatic coast. From the pickup at the train station in Villach, to the very end,... read more the tour was faultless. The bikes we received were brand new, the accommodation choices were excellent, and even though it wasn't a gastronomic tour, the food and wine along the way were excellent.
I cannot recommend Visit Goodplace highly enough. Everything was well thought out and perfectly organised. The route choices were great as we rarely encountered any real traffic and were often on small back roads, or even on forest paths and bike paths. The only time it was a bit busier was at the end, on the last leg into Piran, but that was to be expected as it is a popular seaside destination.
If I was to do it again, I would plan more time to allow for the possibility of spending more than one night in some locations.
This was our second visit to Slovenia and we will surely be back for more.

  I visited Slovenia for the first time with a group of friends. We like to be active, so we decided to explore the country on a bike. The Visit Goodplace... read more team was amazing! They gave us great information and advice, and also offered us top level support during the tour.
Already on the first day we discovered that Slovenia is extremely beautiful. We loved the views of the mountains, valleys, rivers, vinyards and the sea! It was a real joy cycling on the paths far away from the main roads. Also the food in our hotels was delicious and mostly home-made.
The bikes we rented from Visit Goodplace were in perfected condition, probably brand new. I hope to come back next year and make another tour. Thank you!

  Great combination of seeing Slovenia with experiencing local food, wine and attractions - My wife and I took part in the Guided Alps to Adriatic tour with Visit Good Place. Even though our Easyjet plane was very late landing our transfer was eventually... read more found and we ended up in this Family run Hotel for the first night. We meet our fellow cyclists in the morning and our guide Ana. The touring bikes hired were perfect for the trip, well maintained and spares given - (required later on). Each day we had a perfect breakfast buffet in each of the hotels and fabulous food at each stop over. The cycling was on empty roads and tracks with only a few busy stretches. Each day had an event of the local area which was great. We did find the limit of prosciutto as it seemed to have a limitless supply. We eat out in local restaurants or at the hotel. We found the beer and wine fantastic value as this was our only cost except for one night where we had an 8 course tasting menu where it seemed to be expensive compared to the rest of Slovenia. My wife said it was the best holiday she had been on which wasn't dampened by the thunder storms and the last day. Visit good place said we could keep the bikes for an extra day as we were going home late that night. Nothing seemed to be a trouble and Ana was a fabulous guide with exceptional knowledge and enthusiasm for Slovenia. Looking to book another trip next year.

  We've been back now for a while now from our September "Biking Istria to the Adriatic". I wanted to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful guide Andrej,... read more the staff at Visit Good Place, and everyone else involved in the planning this tour. We had the best time and for us, it was an experience of a lifetime. While we are active boomers,, we are not bike riders and didn’t have a total idea of what to expect. The tour met and went above our expectations. When Andrej asked what the highlight of our trip had been, all I could say was that everything in the tour was a favorite and special. From biking the beautiful coast and country side, to stopping at local roadside cafes for refreshment breaks, to visiting historic and quaint medieval villages and towns. It just didn’t get better than that. Our group was small and intimate and much fun. We managed on the many different terrains, some which we found to be more challenging than others. The highway rides were scary, but all part of the adventure. The biking was not strenuous and the ebikes made it all that much easier. Wonderful accomodations, meals and wine!

Continued success and again, many thanks!
