What our customers say

Google 5 star review: Wow - Hike and Bike aka Grega organised our amazing cycle trip thru Slovenia. The route, the places we stayed, the people we met, the food and wine were fantastic. Best cycling from up challenging hills to cruising thru gorgeous Slovenia countryside. No hassles trip thanks to Grega. Thoroughly recommend!

Google 5 star review: My wife and I are avid cyclists and utilized Hike and Bike to coordinate our self guided trek from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Grega was very responsive and attentive to our requests. He did a great job communicating and assisting us in planning our two week adventure. The ride was brutally fun climbing lots and travel on paved country roads. The route also included some gravel. We highly recommend and will be using him again when we return in the future.

Tripadvisor rating 5: Grega has curated a wonderful tour selecting the best trails, hotels, quiet roads and equipment to give you the best self guided tour of western Slovenia. Each of the regions have different terrains, local delicacies and history that showcases them.
We highly recommend this tour and are confident that any other tour would have the same care, attention and outstanding communication that we received.

Google 5 star review: Best experience ever. Grega planned a 4 day hiking hut to hut followed by a 4 day bike loop around the Julian Alps. We chose self guided with all our maps downloaded prior on an easy to use app. The huts included dinner and breakfast. The hotels were great including breakfast. All of our luggage was transferred to each hotel without an issue on our bike trip. We had plenty of time to enjoy the afternoon and explore or rest! I am so grateful for this experience thank to Grega!

5 star Google review: This trip was incredible. The variety of landscapes we rode over from the Alps in snow, to the wineries, the small agricultural fields, the incredible Soca river and its turquoise water was so beautiful. Solid riding on some days (even with an e bike) and variable weather, but it was all so worth it. Definitely highly recommend this trip and Grega who was fabulous to deal with.

Was a lovely way to a see a lot more than you can on foot and also a great challenge. The area round Bohinj is stunning for cycling and we also found the roads to be quiet and drivers very considerate of cyclists. Overall we couldn't recommend Hike and Bike enough.

We had a fantastic experience riding here! The bikes were top-notch, Specialised, well maintained and perfect for the terrain. Grega was a great ambassador for Slovenia! He also helped us mapping the rides we did on our own. Highly recommended!
