We’re delighted to share some good news: Slovenia Bike Tours has been named “Best Guided & Self-Guided Cycling Holidays – Slovenia 2026” in the International Explorer Awards.
The recognition comes at the end of a season filled with memorable rides, new friendships and guests who reminded us why we love sharing Slovenia on two wheels.
To everyone who joined us this year: thank you for being part of the journey.
A personal approach to cycling holidays
For our team, a cycling holiday begins with getting to know the people planning it. Some guests dream of Alpine climbs and long days in the saddle. Others prefer a relaxed ride beside a lake, quiet village roads and plenty of time for lunch.
Our aim is to help each guest find the right balance.
On our guided cycling holidays, we share the routes, places and local stories that make Slovenia special to us. Our self-guided tours give travellers the freedom to ride at their own pace, with accommodation, luggage transfers, navigation and local support arranged around their journey.
Both formats share the same idea: thoughtful planning and a personal connection with the people who welcome you.
From the Julian Alps to the Adriatic
Slovenia offers an extraordinary variety of landscapes within a small area. A cycling journey can take you from the mountains and lakes of the Julian Alps to the emerald Soča Valley, through the vineyards of Goriška Brda and towards the Adriatic coast.
But the moments we remember most are often smaller: a conversation over coffee, an unexpected viewpoint or a local meal at the end of a rewarding day.
Helping our guests discover those moments is one of the most enjoyable parts of our work.
Thank you to our guests and local partners
We’re grateful to every traveller who trusted us with their holiday, shared feedback or recommended Slovenia Bike Tours to friends.
We also want to thank the accommodation providers, guides, drivers and other local partners who help us look after our guests throughout their stay. Their care and hospitality are an essential part of every journey.
Receiving this award is a welcome reason to celebrate together as we prepare for the next season.
Join us for your next cycling adventure
Planning for 2027 is already underway, and we’re looking forward to welcoming returning guests and meeting new cycling friends.
Whether you’re considering a self-guided escape for two, a private guided holiday with friends or a route tailored to your interests, we’d be happy to help you plan it.
