Really great afternoon and entertaining tour
What a lovely trip. Alex got in touch before the start to suggest a later start given the heatwave and really glad he did. The bikes (not used e-bikes before and they were great, especially on the climbs) were new and really good quality and the route was beautiful with lots to see. We had a great couple of hours riding and then an excellent hour at the wine tasting with Patrick who was a really engaging host. We would throughly recommend the trip as a great way to spend the afternoon. We stopped there on our way between Bled and Piran and it was a lovely way to break up the journey. Your biggest issue is working out who will drive for the last hour!

Thank you so much for your fantastic review! I'm truly pleased that my suggestion for a later start due to the heatwave worked out perfectly, and that you enjoyed our quality e-bikes and the beautiful route.
It's wonderful to hear you had an excellent time at the wine tasting with Patrick, and I completely understand your "biggest issue" afterwards – that means it was a great success! We're so glad we could offer such a lovely way to break up your journey.
Thank you for your recommendation; we hope to welcome you back to Slovenia for more adventures soon!
Best,
Alex

We're coming back soon!
Amazing family experience. All bikes were in superb condition, even the ones for our children (which is rare). We got clear directions (GPS guided) to the most beautiful places in Vipava valley. We'll definitely come back as it became by far the best bike rental experience we had in life. Thank you Jana and Aleksej.
P.S. there's a good coffe at the bike rental place!

Good area for an e-bike route
Very good overall experience.
We rented the bikes and they had them ready for us. New, clean and very comfortable bikes. They explained the route and gave us the map and so on. Very kind.
In the middle of the route, the chain of one of the bikes broke (up to twice). A couple of calls to Rockvelo and they fixed it. They have some partners in the area with whom they support themselves. Finally, due to the situation, we were refunded the amount of one of the bikes. In any case, they knew how to deal very well with what happened and didn’t leave us lying around.
The route through the vineyards very simple, pleasant and without any risk. It runs along some stretch of road (with few cars) but mostly on tracks.
Overall a good experience, friendly, resolute and with good flow. ;)
Operator response
Dear Enric, many thanks for your honest review! We really did our best to solve the mechanical issue during your tour - bringing you new E-bike after the 2nd case. Although we inspect and service all the bikes daily things like this can happen. As your overall experience suffered because of this, we decided to refund the rental fee. Many thanks for your understanding and sincere apologies again for all the hassle! Hope to see you again!
Best, Alex

Magical vineyard ride
It was a magical ride through the Slovenian vineyards. It was definitely worth it. Alex, the guide, was really kind and told us some nice facts about the area during the trip. The e-mountainbikes were super nice and made it very comfy. After the trip we did a wine tasting with our group, with local wines in an idyllic place. It completed the whole experience. Overall just amazing!

Absolute must!
We had an amazing day! We cycled for about 2 hours through beautiful vineyards. It was quite easy, because of the e-bike. After that we stopped to taste some wine and some local food. They even organised a vegetarian option!
Alex, the guide, is a great guy. We kept in touch after that day. He gave us a lot of tips on where to go in Slovenia. He really made our stay here a lot better!
It is an absolute must if you are in the Vipava Valley!
Operator response
Dear Britt,
you were an extremely friendly and positive group. I have enjoyed every single minute of being with you. It`s been a pleasure to help you out with organizing a climbing session and giving some tips about places to see in Slovenia and around. Really hope to meet you again in the future, I hope you spent a nice vacation in the region!
Sincerely,
Alex

Excellent service with enormous creativity
Our first meetingpoint was in Dobrovo, there we noticed the e-bike for our 8 year old daughter was to big. No problem for Jana, she found us a 'normal' bike with the right size. Aleksej replanned our route so we could all enjoy this beautiful countryside, even without an e-bike. Many thanks, both of you, keep on the right (eco) spirit!
Operator response
Thanks for your review! Well, we try to give our best in that certain moment and find a solution for everyone. Kids' E-bike can be heavy for some children and for some it's not so easy to manipulate with it. But, anyway, you had a nice time and that's the most important. We're very happy for you! Tnx and welcome back anytime. Jana
