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. …

  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 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 just completed a three day tour with master-guide, Petra Draskovic Pelc. She is the most knowledgable, switched-on and fun guide that I can imagine, and I have been a... read more tour operator myself. The countryside was beautiful and full of animal sign - we did see wolf and bear prints in the mud - and we heard all sorts of owls and roe and red dear engaged in rutting behavior. The European virgin forest was fabulous. Petra went all out to make sure I and our party of four others had a top notch experience. This trip (more like a wilderness adventure) has my wholehearted recommendation. …

  A unique way to enjoy majestic Slovenia - 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.

  Why? Because Visit GoodPlace is simply the best! Not only as an agency and it's diverse offer of outdoor activities one can choose from, but mostly because of the people,... read more the team, that will make your visit in Slovenia or neighbouring countries unforgettable! We've done several bike trips with Visit GoodPlace so far, from leisure family bike touring trips, visiting bike parks, to harder and a bit more technical multi days mtb-tours, traversing Slovenia and Croatian islands. And we're coming back for sure!

  Une très bonne guide pour l'observation des ours - Nous avons passé une journée en juillet 2021 avec Petra Draskovic pour observer les ours slovènes et avons vraiment apprécié ses connaissances et son envie de nous faire vivre sa... read more passion pour la nature et la vie sauvage en forêt. La première partie de la journée était consacrée à une balade en forêt pour repérer les traces d'ours et autres animaux, puis en fin de journée, nous avons rejoint une cabane d'observation pour attendre la venue des ours. Nous y sommes restés 3 heures et avons vu 3 ours ainsi que quelques chevreuils.
Excellente journée. Dommage que l'observation des ours ne commence pas plus tôt car la lumière était un peu faible.
