Top-Rated Tours

“We had a fantastic trip and a great experience with BikeTours.com. We had to adjust our original trip due to a death in the family and BikeTours was wonderful to quickly re-schedule everything so that we didn’t have to cancel our trip. We also requested to leave our bikes in Interlaken for a few days so that we could spend a few days hiking in the Lauterbrunnen Valley (HIGHLY recommended) and BikeTours was very accommodating and booked the extra hotels in Murren and Grindlewald for us (hint: skip the crowded Grindlewald and stay in Wengen instead). Our hotel in Interlaken was downgraded due to the short re-scheduling notice, but we were just happy to be able to take the trip. We highly recommend this trip AND Bike Tours.com!” Less

“We just returned from this adventure (September 5-16, 2026) and can’t speak highly enough of the people and sights of Slovenia we experienced! We did the self-guided version of the trip and here are our thoughts and recommendations:

CONS - The only slightly negative comment we have is that the hybrid Trek bikes we selected were too heavy and not geared well for some of the hills we encountered. We are experienced cyclists from Colorado and used to steep terrain but not on bikes with kick stands and fenders! We would recommend either e-bikes or requesting upgrades to true road/bikes to more thoroughly enjoy this beautiful country.

PROS:
The local bike tour operator did and outstanding job with all aspects of our trip. The GUIBO app that they use was excellent with only a couple of instances where the audio direction didn’t match the mapped route on the screen. Lots of route info including sights as well as elevation profiles.

The hotels were consistently great and varied from a small family run hotel with 5 rooms to a large chain hotel (M Hotel in Ljubljana). The breakfasts all had many options including some vegan choices for my partner. As mentioned in other reviews, the M Hotel is a mile or so from the historic city center but is a nice walk in good weather and an easy bus ride in rainy weather like we had that day.

The food was outstanding and we never lacked for local cuisine favorites including pastas, pizzas and wine!

The route that TO selected highlighted amazing sights of Slovenia including Lakes Bled and Bohinj, Pradjema castle, Postojna and Skojanska caves and the beautiful city of Piran on the coast.

The best part of our trip were the generous, warm people of Slovenia. In every town or city, we encountered people who offered a genuine, welcoming spirit and an obvious love for their country. We will definitely return to this wonderful country!” Less

“We chose this trip partially due to the high star rating (and quantity) of the reviews, and I'm happy to report it lived up to the hype.

We began in the picturesque, mountainous town of Dobbiaco in the Dolomites and booked an extra night at the beginning of the trip in order to take a bus to do the Tre Cime Hike before starting the bike tour. Once the biking began, we rode our way through beautiful valleys (2 almost entirely flat days in Austria!) with stunning views all around. Getting into Slovenia was hillier, but rewarding. us with some of the most beautiful water in Slovenia. We did the 1-night Bled stay, and maximized our activities by booking a 3:20pm entry into the Vintgar Gorge, which was easy to get to directly from our bike route. After we left Slovenia, we were in Italy for the remainder of the trip and enjoyed more great variety of scenery (farmlands) with moderate elevation gain and took the coastal route into Trieste, enjoying the views of the Adriatic as we concluded the trip.

Main positive notes:

1) Overall, the FunActive App worked very well for navigation and the FunActive support phone number came in very handy when 2 people in my group got flat tires. I called and they immediately sent Google Map pins to the closest bike shops on our route, and offered reimbursement up to 35 euros for the repairs.

2) The hotels varied in quality and character, but were all very comfortable/hospitable with kind staff and provided excellent breakfasts.

3) Most people in my group requested (in advance) to rent gravel bikes and we found it to be well worth the extra charge, as the route does have some gravel sections. The bikes handled very well on the road and off. This tour is well-suited for intermediate cyclists to do on non-e-bikes, and seemed great for less-experienced cyclists to do on e-bikes.

4) The scenery was rarely less than stunning, even when the weather was cloudy!

A few cautionary points:

1) The amount of information (documents, info in the app, personal itinerary) sent to us prior to the tour was a little overwhelming and had some conflicting information (e.g. # of bags allowed per person for the daily luggage transfer, day/time for transfer points). Be sure to read everything carefully and ask questions to your BikeTours.com representative to clarify any discrepancies.

2) The FunActive staff was satisfactory when we picked up the bikes to help us get set up, but they did not go above and beyond with additional requests (e.g. to install SPD pedals that we brought; swap out saddles more comfortable ones).

3) This was my first time doing a tour which included transfers over mountain passes (Oberdrauberg Pass on Day 1, and from Bled to Most na Soci on Day 4). These were much appreciated to save energy and prevent some potentially dangerous riding, but it did require extra attention to our timing and schedule to make sure we were not late for the shuttles.” Less
