· Istria to the Adriatic

We had a fabulous trip! The route was beautiful and everyday brought new surprises. We especially loved riding inland into the mid evil villages up in the mountains. The scenery was spectacular and lots of sights to explore. We would highly recommend this tour!

When did you take this tour?
September 2025
How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
We had to avoid riding the gravel/ dirt sections for 2 or 3 days of the tour due to wet and muddy conditions so we were very happy there was an alternative route available on pavement. We were self guided. Some of the dirt/ gravel sections were more technical than I expected, but short enough that one could walk if needed. I think maybe it should be rated easy to moderate. I ride a lot of gravel and MTB at home and wouldn’t recommend this route to riders who aren’t experienced with riding on gravel.

The Slovenia hiking tour was well done!. What a beautiful country. As for the tour, I appreciate that the tour was set up to show us varied regions and sites of interest or beauty throughout the country. The breakfasts and lunches were fabulous- and again varied with the local traditional dishes beautifully presented and quite tasty. The hotels were comfortable and their staff were always friendly and English Speaking.. Matej, our guide was great- and in my case, extremely helpful in understanding my hiking limitations and assuring that I was still able to see much of the beautiful terrain while being safe. I appreciate that Tripsite (Ani and the Tripsite office) were able to promptly accommodate my late notice that I would have some unplanned hiking complications. Our only consideration was that we did not all notice until quite late before the trip that the trip ended somewhere other than Llubljana where we started. We should have noticed, but it did lead to a last minute scurry to find transportation back to Ljubljana before our scheduled flights.

Slovenia is a stunning place. I've traveled all over the world and was blown away. Friendly people, amazing (and cheap) food, and the Julian Alps are stunning as is Lake Bled. Highly recommend this tour.

Todo o percurso foi excelente. A meu ver, as rotas indicadas não foram muito claras para a localização da rota. Já fiz outros tour pela tripsite e o mapa impresso foi mais fácil de compreender.

The scenery was stunning! What a great way to experience a place... by bicycle! It was really nice having TripSite porter our bags for us. That left us free to explore all day as we saw fit. Tips... Bring an extra power bank battery for your phone (you'll need it!), bring a handlebar mount for your phone and above all else, don't forget your padded shorts like I did!

Adventure around every corner. Perfect layout, distances, travel plan, timing, and lodging details. Early June was the perfect time to enjoy this beautiful combination of coastal and mountainous terrain.

Istria to the Adriatic Tour
We are now back from our September biking trip and wanted to take this opportunity to our wonderful guide Andrej, you, and everyone else involved in 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 ridders 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 food was excellent, wine and hotel rooms, all terrific.

Continued success and again many thanks!

· Istria to the Adriatic

Diversity of the scenery, which was beautiful. A good portion of the route is right along the Adriatic, which we jumped in several times. The Adriatic is very nice.The rest of the time we were cycling through forests, vineyards or old train tunnels on our way to mountain/hilltop villages. Stunning views from all of the hotels. The people in Slovenia and Croatia were friendly and often times very engaging.
We also took a day trip, before the start of the cycling journey, to the interior of Slovenia. Beautiful country… very clean. Ljubljana is a very cool city. Would recommend if time allows.

· Venice to Poreč

We really loved the Venice to Poreč tour. Pedaling along the Adriatic with the wonderful views was stunning! We also enjoyed the Italian, Slovenian and Croatian countryside and extensive bike paths, most of them paved. Biking in these countries is a way of life so we felt respected by the car drivers when we were on the roads. We would suggest to future self-guided travelers that reading the extensive information on the "Ride with GPS" app enhances the trip experience and helps avoid confusion. We did not realize until after the tour was complete that scrolling past the prominent "Navigate" button each day would also give us a turn-by-turn cue sheet. We would have avoided a lot of extra km each day :-)

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The itinerary, written directions and maps were great. Taking the ferry out of Venice and riding through the historic town centers were definite highlights.

This self guided bike trip was a great way to see the countryside. We biked through vineyards and along the coast for most of the trip. The written directions and maps given to us were very accurate and made navigating so much fun. My suggestion for others is to start early so you can make the most of each day. I'm so glad we did!

Best part? Too many to decide! I really enjoyed the small, historic towns, the variety of landscapes, the excellent accommodation and the friendship within the group. Our bikes were excellent, the people from Good Place really helpful - would really recommend this trip to others.

We were a group of eight old friends and found this trip very enjoyable. The tour organizer, Klemen Stular was very responsive to our questions and preferences, and even worked to adapt the route to accommodate our request to visit a winery! The trails had some loose gravel so it required extra caution (and muscle) on steep hills, but the off-road trails made this particular tour the most special. The equipment was well-maintained, easy to use, and reliable. The tour operator was very conscientious about making certain everything fit the rider. The scenery was glorious and the people warm and welcoming.

Most memorable: The local tour operator (Good Places) arranged a lunch and wine tasting at a small winery/restaurant. Excellent food, good wines, tour of the winery, interesting lessons about local wines in Croatia, excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere.
Suggestion: We enjoyed staying in the small hotels with atmosphere and a la carte dinners much more than the big resort hotels serving big buffet dinners. So please look for cosy, smaller hotels with atmosphere.

Tour route was beautiful, some costal some inland, hotels and food were excellent, I liked the smaller hotels much better than the large one as the small ones were very personal. Local wines were great. Had so much fun that I'm thinking about the next trip.
