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!

  As a start and preparation for this trip the communication with Katia from Visitgoodplace was top and hands on!

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!

  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. …

  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!

  Excellent people, great tour, I highly recommend to everyone. Especially for those who want a different experience. Crazy, what's happening in such a short time. Thanks, Team Good Place.

  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!!

  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.

  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!
