Step into a world of adventure with our Julian Alps to Istria Cycling Tour, a journey transcending borders and cultures. It’s time for this voyage of discovery to immerse you in the heart of two distinct regions: the Alpine landscapes of Slovenia and the Mediterranean charm of Croatian Istria.

This tour offers you an opportunity to challenge yourself, to explore, and to connect with nature. From the tranquil beauty of Lake Bled to the rugged peaks of the Julian Alps, from the vineyard-covered hills of Goriška Brda to the sun-drenched shores of the Adriatic Sea, every pedal stroke brings a new experience, a new story.

Here, we value the freedom to explore at your own pace, to lose yourself in the moment, and to find yourself in the process. It’s about the thrill of the open road, the wind in your hair, and the sun on your skin. It’s about the satisfaction of a day well spent and the anticipation of what tomorrow will bring.

And while the journey is yours to shape, you’re not alone. Our team is always on hand to provide support, from detailed itineraries and GPS tracks to emergency assistance. We’re here to ensure your journey is smooth, safe, and unforgettable.

Are you ready to discover, explore, and challenge yourself? Then take on this incredible journey and allow us to help you create unforgettable memories of Slovenia and Croatia.

Things to know

Private guided

A private tour offers the freedom and flexibility to tailor your itinerary according to your preferences and requirements. With a dedicated driver guide and exclusive transfers, everything is customized solely for you. This grants you greater control over your time, schedule, and overall experience, without the need to conform to a larger group. Whether you are traveling solo or with loved ones, opting for a guided private tour provides opportunities for additional stops, spontaneous additions, and on-the-go changes, as long as they align with the carefully prepared and organized itinerary. This ensures that you can enjoy a worry-free vacation.

In a small group

When we say “small,” we truly mean it. Our tour groups are limited to 4-8 individuals, ensuring an intimate and immersive experience of Croatia, free from the inconveniences of large busloads. This setup is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and small groups of friends and family eager to share their journey with like-minded individuals. Our boutique tour requires a minimum of 4 participants to operate, and it includes a dedicated tour leader, meticulously arranged accommodations and activities, as well as comfortable transportation. If your group exceeds this size, please reach out to us, and we will be happy to arrange a different option for you.

Self-guided

For those seeking flexibility and independence, we offer tours tailored to your preferences while leaving the adventure of transportation in your hands. You will receive a comprehensive fly & drive itinerary that includes activities, accommodations, and travel tips, supported by our team in case of emergencies or any concerns you may have. As you explore Slovenia, you have the freedom to navigate on your own terms. If desired, we can assist in arranging a car rental or even a campervan for your convenience.

HASSLE-FREE

We handle itineraries, accommodations, and anything else you prefer not to deal with, so you can enjoy a carefree holiday.

UNBEATABLE SUPPORT

Our 24/7 customer support is where we show our passion, bringing you a better experience by making your well-being our number one priority.
