Tailor made holidays - let us know what works for you and we will make it happen.
Experience the diverse landscape of Slovenia’s countryside and that special rush that comes with the freedom of the road by joining a guided road cycling tour. This amazing 3-day adventure allows you to test your stamina on the most demanding Slovenian mountain roads and take in the incredible natural surroundings in one amazing active holiday.
If you’re a cycling enthusiast, who wants to combine top runs with stunning views, this 3-day active holiday is right up your alley. It consists of the best routes the Slovenian mountains have to offer.
You will get to experience this country’s immense diversity as you tackle the terrain in the Kranjska Gora area of the Julian Alps. Two amazing runs across varied, hilly terrain with unforgettable panorama and picturesque villages. To regain your lost calories, you will munch down on some delicious authentic local cuisine, including hearty breakfasts that will give you the boost you need.
You will cycle on less-traveled roads of the Alpine region. Less traffic, more freedom. Kranjska Gora, a small but lively Alpine town, is located near the Austrian and Italian borders and offers the best cycling routes in the region. The tour is led by a local guide who is a professional cyclist with years of experience and can double as a trainer.
The route is planned out very meticulously, so you get the most out of your ride. A support van is present throughout our ride, its driver is a highly trained mechanic who can tend to any technical issues that may arise. And if a participant falls behind or feels like he has had too much, our team will make sure the tour continues smoothly and the cyclist is picked up.
If you want to join the fun but don’t have your bike with you, we can supply you with a high-performance rental adjusted to your specifications.

Start planning today!
The sooner the better - guaranteed availability and best prices if you don't wait for too long.
The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana or Ljubljana airport. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.
Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.
Cycling planned on our cycling holidays is moderate to challenging – some of the stages are quite long, some ascents can be challenging. The pace is entirely up to you. If you want to cycle more there is always room for extending a day. If you feel a stage is too demanding, don’t worry – you can always shorten it and shuttle a part of it with our support van.
It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the holiday regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, you can see all 4 seasons change in the same day, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer and rain gear. Your guide will let you know each day what kind of weather you can expect for the next day and don’t worry – extra layers can always travel behind us in a support van.
It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.
If you want to, sure! We are well aware that some people love to stay in groups while others prefer some more alone time on their trip. We wanted to give you the opportunity to do things your way. It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!
The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer.
The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude.
We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.

Dear Urska
Happy New Year!
I wanted to extend our sincere gratitude for the amazing trip you put together for us. Every detail had been arranged and shared with us, making the trip stress free and extremely relaxing.
Having never previously used a travel agent I admit to being a little apprehensive, but I can't praise you enough for the seamless organisation and arrangements.
Tomaz was fantastic and stayed in contact as required for our various transfers. I would highly recommend you and your team to anyone travelling to Slovenia.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Google account so it will not register my 5-star rating, but please feel free to use the above for a testimonial.
Thank you again

Having just returned from eight days in Slovenia, I can only say "wow". It is a magnificent country of beauty, greenery, and friendliness. Slovenia Tours created an itinerary for the eight people in our group, and we could not have been happier. Our journey took us to Ljubljana, Lake Bled and Piran with many unique stops along the way. Our guide, Tine, helped to make this trip even more enjoyable. His understanding of the English language was impeccable, his knowledge of the country's history was vast, and his sense of humor was constant...had us continually laughing. Our group has traveled extensively, but I can confidently say this was one of our best trips!

We had a fantastic holiday in Slovenia. This was our first time visiting and we’re very glad that we had someone who was an expert in the area to book the holiday for us. Everything was fantastic, the hotel room was amazing, the ski resort was really family friendly and the kids enjoyed the skiing and the swimming pool next to slopes. We discovered some excellent restaurants with great food and lovely Slovenia wine and all great value.

Slovenia tours did an amazing job and I do not say this lightly. It was an extraordinary voyage through a stunning and lovely and friendly country that left us all in awe and full of admiration.
The activities, the guides, the transport, the locations, the combination of all the various agenda items were wonderful. The hotels fulfilled the expected standard and were all very pleasant.

We had such a great time with Slovenia Holidays. Ivana was simply amazing. She made an amazing itinerary for our family (two girls 9 & 12). She guided us throughout our travel and kept it fun and interesting for our girls (and grown ups). She was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the country, culture and history. Fantastic recommendations for lodging and food. We would definitely plan a future trip to Slovenia with Ivana and Slovenia Holidays.

What a wonderful company! We've never done any guided holidays before, preferring to go it alone. But with 3 young kids now in tow we decided to get some help. And what help! Nothing was too much trouble, all the guides were fantastic - the accommodation they selected was great and all the transfers were hassle free. Thoroughly recommend!
