We did a self-guided 7 day “Alps to Adriatic” tour with Hike & Bike in July ‘23. We had a great trip and Grega did a fantastic job planning our itinerary and then handling the daily logistics. Our itinerary was based on one of his standard routes, but Grega made some custom adjustments that we requested (added stops at Skocjan caves and Lipica, changed a few hotels, etc.) Grega was always responsive and organized, and everything came together perfectly. Our bikes were great (2023 Specialized Rockhopper), our bags were always waiting for us at the next hotel as if by magic, and Grega loaned us all of the bike gear that we neglected to bring. No glitches ever.
About the cycling; we chose an itinerary for mountain bikes, but Grega also rents road bikes, gravel bikes, and e-bikes and will tailor the routes accordingly. We had some tough days (ex: 75km with 1600m climbing) but it was manageable and it was always gratifying to finish. My wife and I are in our 50s, and are marathon runners but not real cyclists. The route was a mix of auto roads, paved cycle paths, gravel, fire roads, and a bit of single track. There were a few places where we were on fairly busy roads with no shoulder, but we never felt unsafe. And the scenery is so spectacular.
This was a great cycling holiday and I strongly recommend Grega and Hike&Bike.
