  Absolute EPIC tour! Highly recommend VisitGoodPlace - My friend and I recently done a self guided tour with Visit Good Place and I cannot speak highly enough of this company.
Their attention to detail, efforts to... read more ensure we had a good trip, communication, routes provided and accommodation were absolutely brilliant.
We done the Trans Slovenia 04 tour which is tough!!! but absolutely worth the uphill climbs for the epic downhill runs.
The route selection given via a GPX file was spot on. Slovenia is a stunning country and travelling from the north to south you get to see it all.
Several of the accommodations I would love to go back to with my wife they were that stunning. After cycling all day climbing to peaks over 1600 meters you hope for a comfy room to stay that night and what we got was far greater than what we hoped for. Picturesque properties that were clean, tidy, spacious and the people running them were super friendly.
As expected I had some bike issues half way through the trip and being Sunday all bike shops were shut but Katja from Visit Good Place had someone collect my bike within an hour to fix it. Great company!!

  My wife and I returned a couple of weeks ago from doing the Epic Slovenia gravel bike tour. It was incredible. We absolutely loved it.   GoodPlace’s organizational... read more efforts, communication, attention to detail, gps routes, accommodations, transportation and more were excellent.   With GoodPlace doing all the logistical work, we were able focus on the thing we enjoy most; cycling in a new, magnificent, eclectic and challenging place.  The Epic Tour was all of that. We received an hour-long Zoom call in advance of the tour to walk us through the details of each day and what to expect. This was something no other tour organization has ever done for us and it was exceedingly helpful (be sure to take good notes and bring them with you?). GoodPlace even customized our tour. Rather than start in Arnoldstein, Austria, we wanted to start in Bled, a picturesque town We’ve always wanted to visit. GoodPlace readily made the necessary changes by editing the gps route and having the rental bikes delivered to our Bled guest house. We have done lots of traveling over the years and Slovenia is the most beautiful place we’ve ever been.  We plan to return.

  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.

  As a start and preparation for this trip the communication with Katia from Visitgoodplace was top and hands on! We required an extra treatment in our cycling week to... read more organize as wine tasting, kayak, Visitgoodplace organized it all. It started from the airport pick up – good driver, a quality pick up , quality van and quality rented bikes. We arrived to Kranska Gora and the driver helped us with installing own bikes and the extra rented bikes. Our guide Andrej was very professional and so helpful, he know his country and local places. He helped us a lot with some downhill practices and other practical MTB things. The hotels/stays had a very good quality and food was even greater. The places and landscapes we cycled in are amazing and mind blowing and are definitely a must do if you like mountain biking. Slovenia and the Slovenians are great We will definitely come back!

  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 ! …
