It was an absolute great adventure, experience and MTB Trip for me! And the organisation of the Company was really exellent; lugagge transfer, Hotel, maps, gpx and route explanations, assistance, support from the Team - they were so friendly ... The Tour itself is partly effotful (heat, strenght..) so a good endurance is partly needed:)) (but there are shortcuts) ...
The best way to see a country. We biking through Slovenia with beautiful countryside, small villages, interesting small museums and those amazing valleys. Comfortable rooms, great food and wine. Way beyond our expectations. Thank you!
Fabulous scenery, challenging biking, well organised from start to finish. The food was excellent, the accommodation was very comfortable, which made for an excellent trip. The Life Adventures team provided clear information on the suitability of the experience for my partner and myself. Thank you.
Our trip exceeded our expectations - the mountain biking routes were well planned, easy to follow and thought out to provide the best possible scenery and sight seeing, even though the weather wasn't as good as we would have liked it. The map book and tracks provided was excellent as were the quality of the bikes, and they were matched perfectly to our heights. I can recommend an E-Bike if your are unsure of making the distances comfortably each day. We would definitely recommend this tour to those who wish to see the best of the Slovenia whilst enjoying the outdoors.
