A great experience
Emerald Tour of Slovenia’s Gems
This was an unguided town-to-town bike trip, 6 days, from Ljubljana to Piran. I rented a (non-electric) bike.
The bike (Trek FX2 gravel bike) was good, and fit me well. The rear derailleur was a bit out of alignment. They give you a spare tube and some tools, which I didn't need.
The nav was pretty easy. You get a nav app (Guibo) that has some glitches but works OK. There are little arrow stickers along the way that confirm the directions, but don't replace the app
The route was about 50% roads with fast cars and no shoulder, 30% paved village roads with few cars, 10% bike paths, and 10% gravel farm roads. This was more cars than I would have liked, but the tour has to work with what's there.
The hotels were all excellent - generally the best available place in each town.
The towns, and the associated attractions (castles, caves etc.) were great.
The rides were moderate - 20-30 miles each day, some elevation gains. Day 2 gained 2000' and was a little hard. They generally took ~3 hours including breaks. Take your time, otherwise you might arrive too early to check in.
In summary: a very well-planned and well-organized tour. I had a great time, and would definitely consider doing another tour with this company. Also, I thought the price was quite reasonable.

Fabulous, scenic odyssey
Emerald Tour of Slovenia’s Gems
What a wonderful journey! The scenery was spectacular as we biked through rolling hills, quaint villages, and especially as we arrived at the Adriatic Sea. A few days consisted of biking up and down some fairly significant hills, so get an e-bike if you aren’t in shape for biking uphill, which we thought we were but we underestimated how challenging the hills would be. The route includes several gravel roads but the bikes handled the bumps just fine. Slovenian drivers seemed very accustomed to sharing the road with cyclists and were quite respectful. Almost all of the roads that we biked on were sparsely traveled. The hotels were nice and they all had good hearty breakfasts for us to stoke up on before our rides. The tour company was responsive and we appreciated having our luggage delivered to our destination each day. Slovenia is a beautiful country inhabited by welcoming, friendly people. We loved it!

Lovely cycle ride around Ljubljana
Ljubljana Highlights Bike Tour
We had a day to see Ljubljana before heading off to Lake Bohinj, so a guided cycle ride around the town was the perfect way to see all the best parts of Ljubljana. The equipment was good. Safety was good, and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our trip was on a Thursday morning and traffic was fine. Most of the route was on pedestrian areas., and predominantly flat so it wasn't very strenuous. We even had a stop at a restaurant for a drink. The group size was 6 people. We learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it. Matius was the perfect guide. Would highly recommend.

Great way to see this town.
Ljubljana Highlights Bike Tour
Ljublijana is super bike friendly. The cars and people are all super aware of cyclists which makes biking through this city super fun and safe. I think the city proper has over 200km of paths including the Trail of Remembrance encircling the city. (Our hotel concierge gave us a map to it.) Folks are friendly, food was yummy and cheap...very cool way to get the lay of the land of this town.
