We had a great time checking out the local sights with our guide Cřt. He is a professional and also fun to be with. He gives you the option of a tour with lots of riding or lots of sightseeing, while explaining what you are looking at, along with the history of the area.
An absolutely fantastic tour from start to finish. Peter our tour guide was amazing and at the end of our ride some amazing cheeses, meat, bread and wine. Thanks for an amazing day!
Bikes and guide great food at end Piran is a lovely town Bike tunnel long and fun Equipment top notch
We had a fantastic day with Crt who was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history. He was a wonderful and considerate guide who was also happy to share his recommendations of things to do while we were in Portoroz. The e-bikes were high quality and made it easy to cover the 46km tour even in August temperatures. The day was a real highlight of our holiday and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region.
We had a wonderful time on our E-Bike tour with Peter. There was only one other couple on the trip, so we had a lot of time to ask questions and get to know the town. The bikes were easy to use, and there were plenty of places to stop to drink water or take pictures. We loved being able to get off the main road and see more local spots than you would on other tours. It was nice to end the tour with a glass of wine and tapas.
Unforgettable E-Bike Adventure: From Sea to Vineyards Our rendezvous with this exceptional e-bike outfitter started right at the cruise port terminal where our group disembarked from our tenders. A spacious and comfortable van promptly transported us to the bike shop. Here, we were provided with expert fitting for our electric bikes and helmets, along with clear, easy-to-understand instructions - a seamless process indeed! Our intimate group, consisting of just six people from our small cruise ship, was led by an excellent guide whose knowledge and passion significantly enriched our experience. The bikes themselves were fantastic - powerful, comfortable, and easy to ride, contributing to an utterly enjoyable ride. The tour took an even more delightful turn as we stopped for lunch at a hotel owned by the bike shop. We savored a delicious meal accompanied by local wine, all while soaking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It was a perfect blend of gastronomy and scenery. Post lunch, we were given an option to either bike back or return in the comfort of the van to the shop. Intrigued by the idea of exploring the center of Piran, we chose the former and ended up covering an impressive distance of nearly 20 miles. This e-bike tour was nothing short of amazing. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this outfitter for their professionalism, superior service, and for providing such an outstanding experience.
This was a wonderful was to see the Slovenian countryside. Our guide, “Churt” was fantastic! So nice and shared so much wonderful information about the region. The eBikes make the journey really comfortable and fun. You get to see so much more and more beautiful areas than in a car or van. We went from agricultural areas down into the center of Piran on the coast. He showed us a sculpture park, the salt pans, an old train tunnel we got to ride through, and so much more. Great trip, highly recommend this! We finished our day with delicious local food and wine with the owner, Andrej. Very kind and lovely man too. We felt very special.
This was a wonderful way to see the towns around Kotor. We arrived on a cruise and was met at the port. Bikes were in excellent conditions and felt safe thru the whole trips. The trip ended at a restaurant where we enjoyed fabulous wine and charcuterie. A perfect day!
Amazing 18k ride through beautiful countryside villages. The history and knowledge by our guide Crek was the best. We learned so much about this beautiful country. The salt pans were amazing. The lunch after was delicious as well. thank you!
Crt was an excellent, informative and funny guide. He adapted the plan for us, and was very focused on our having a good experience. Highly recommended!
