Successful bike ride!
Super nice guide! Knows a lot to tell about both history and present-day Ljublana and Slovenia. It’s great that you really cycle outside the city centre and along the water and parks. This bike tour is highly recommended!
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Ljubljana with our guide and that cycling along the river, through the parks, and outside the city center made the experience even more special. We’ll make sure to pass on your kind words to the guide, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure in Slovenia soon!

Great experience, worth doing if visiting Ljubljana.
We absolutely loved this bike tour we did in September and although it was raining we had an amazing time. The guides knowledge was great we loved hearing all he had to say about Ljubljana and Slovenia. Would gladly do this again.

Bad service
We booked the trip. Unfortunately we had car problems. After contacting people for the car, we contacted the agency to tell them we couldnt make it. We asked for a compensation for another day of some cash back out of good service. They couldnt help us at all. So we paid €60 for nothing and no understanding or good service for another day or something.
Operator response
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about the car troubles that prevented you from joining the tour. We understand how frustrating that must have been.
As much as we wish we could have accommodated your request, our policy clearly states that we offer a full refund if cancellations are made at least 24 hours before the tour. We would have also considered a partial refund if we had received notice at least an hour before the tour. Unfortunately, we only received a call from Viator at 10:06, just as the tour was beginning, and our guide was already on-site, ready to start.
Additionally, the 15th of August is a public holiday in Slovenia, and most of our partner guides were either busy or out of town until Monday. This made it difficult to offer any alternative arrangements on short notice.
Again, we regret that we couldn’t assist you further on this occasion and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

Nice ride in town, very good bicykels. No snack included. The guide talked a lot and a little hard to understsnd.
Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the ride and the quality of our bicycles. We apologize for any confusion regarding the snack; it seems there was some misinformation, and we will amend the description to clarify that snacks are not included. We're also sorry if the guide was difficult to understand—we'll work on that. We appreciate your input and hope to offer you an even better experience next time!

Beautiful city tour by bike
The city tour by bike was good and interesting. You can see more by bike than on foot, which is why we actually always do it in every city.

Great Bike Tour
The bike tour was great - it was well paced and we saw a good breadth of things in Ljubljana, much more than you’d see in a walking tour. Miro did a great job explaining history and culture and the extensive pedestrian areas and bike lanes in the city made it an easy and safe ride.
Operator response
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the bike tour and found it to be a comprehensive and engaging way to explore Ljubljana. Miro's expertise in explaining history and culture certainly enhances the experience. We're glad that you felt comfortable and safe riding through the pedestrian areas and bike lanes. Your positive experience is important to us, and we look forward to offering you more memorable adventures in the future.

Great to escape the centre
This tour was a wonderful way to escape the hoards of tourists in the centre. The guide had a very wry sense of humour. He took us to beauty spots, historical areas but also to the dodgy nightlife area so we got a very broad view of the city

Thank you for your review! We are pleased that you`ve enjoyed and that you were satisfied with the
tour.
