ŠKOFJA LOKA MOUNTAIN BIKING

  This was an amazing trip for four of us: mountain biking in Slovenia. Nejc was an outstanding guide for two weeks of custom rides and local tours. He... read more took care of all of the details from hotels to restaurants. We drove from town to town, spending a few days exploring each area. The tours gave us a chance to visit with locals. They were all fun an interesting. The accommodations were perfect. Our rides were carefully chosen for our level of comfort and adventure. The Slovenian people that we met were all
very anxious to ensure our comfort and needs. Nejc picked us up and dropped us off at the airport and provided for our entertainment, comfort and safety for the whole trip. I highly recommend both Slovenia and HourAway for anyone considering bike touring/hiking in Slovenia.

  Our guided tour with Nejc of Hour Away bike tours and cycling holidays was outstanding. Nejc ensured our safety on a 14-day tour of his “backyard” in beautiful Slovenia. As... read more older folks on e-bikes he pushed us to ride roads, two-track and even some single track to incredible vistas in the mountains. While each day was mostly planned, Nejc was flexible and managed to answer a multitude of questions. He knew great cheese makers, wineries and important historical and ecological sites to visit. I highly recommend Hour Away and Nejc.

  For our first experience of electric mountain biking Nejc, and Slovenia, were both perfect! We recommend Hour Away to anyone who wants to have an expertly guided and active adventure,... read more and see the best of a wonderful country.

  Nejc has brilliant knowledge of his beautiful homeland and tailors your trips to your biking experience and interests. If you've never tried an e-mountain bike, there's no better place than... read more Slovenia with Houraway. This is very much a biking country and you get to see so much more than you can by hiking. E-bikes still require some effort but the help they give you on the uphill stretches enable you to reach those parts you'd otherwise struggle with.

  Neither of us have been on e-bikes before so were a little uncertain as to what to expect. However, Nejc put us at ease immediately and chose a route that... read more suited us 100%. It was a fantastic experience and the scenery was stunning.
I would thoroughly recommend HourAway and we hope to come back again one day.

  Wow, first e-bike experience and what a great time. Nejc quickly figured out our experience level and then tailored our 3 days biking with him to fit our needs.... read more The bikes were in very good condition and he made sure that they fit our physique. We visited some wonderful sites and he was very knowledgeable about the area. He was always punctual and we never had to wait on him. He found out we liked wine and even scheduled a wine tasting at the end of a biking day which was wonderful. One of us (me) likes craft beer and he even went out of his way to make contact with a local one. I had a very nice IPA and even a T-shirt. I don't know how any other cycling tour company could surpass Nejc and Hour-Away!

The hills of Slovenia are breathtaking. If you love the outdoors and some adventure, this tour is a must.

Thank you again for an amazing time!

  The company created a bespoke tour for me that far surpassed my expectations and was value for money.
I enjoy mtb in the uk and to experience e- mtb... read more for the first time was amazing and I rode trails otherwise my fitness would have not allowed

It’s safe to say I’m now an e-bike convert. If you want to go either mountain biking or just touring this is the company for you. There communication was brilliant and I can’t fault them in any way.

  Nejc was a fantastic tourguide and made my trip unforgettable. He took me on a tour around Poljanska valley (Poljanska dolina). First he gave me a short lesson about e-bikes,... read more which made a whole tour later way easier..so no worries if you've never been on e-bike before. Nejc will always find a way to help you with instructions and more than that, he is very polite, patient and he knows a lot about this area so the tour was also very informative, which is a thing that all tourists want. We cycled for a few hours and stopped a few times to take some beautiful pictures (on a clear day you can see Triglav-the highest mountain in Slovenia) and once at a small home restaurant. Tour can be slow and easy or very intense, depends on your skills and of course, e-bikes help you all the way around. View of the surrounding hills and mountains was speachless all the time. With this tour I had the chance to see Poljanska valley like almost no one else. Thanks to HourAway I saw real rural life in this part of Slovenia. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, especially to sport enthusiasts and nature lovers type of people.
I think the price is fair for the activity's quality and lenght. You should definitely consider it, especially if you stay several days in Ljubljana.. it is just (an) HourAway! 🙂
Thank you Nejc and HourAway. Can't wait for another one!

  What an amazing experience! I had a fantastic day biking with Nejc in the mountains around Ljubljana. He first took real care in assessing my skill level on the bike... read more and we built from there. We did a lot of climbing, some really fun stuff hammering along some single trails and throughout the whole day we got to see some of the most amazing scenery that Slovenia has to offer (in fact, we got to see almost all of Slovenia from the top of the highest hill that we climbed!). Throughout it all Nejc was a great host, very knowledgeable about the locality and really friendly. I can't recommend this trip highly enough. If you have any doubt at all, don't - just go and do it!

  After having biked with regular mountainbikes before and having heard great things about E-Bikes and Slovenia I had high expectations and Nejc definitely exceeded them.
He is an excellent... read more guide: Patient, knowledgeable, fun and most importantly, very passionate about his country and his work.
He makes everyone feel safe and thanks to the E-bikes everybody can do the tour and will have fun - no matter if beginner or pro.
The landscape and the views were absolutely stunning and we were the only bikers on the trails and roads.
Nejc speaks very good English and communication was easy and reliable.
The bikes are top of the line, very comfortable and brand new and he makes sure that everyone has the right bike size.
Highly recommended - Thanks again, Nejc!

  This was one of the highlights of my trip to Slovenia. The vantage point that you climb to is incredible Nejc has a real passion for the outdoors and... read more the knowledge to match. The equipment is top of the line and well maintained. Would go again in a heartbeat!!

  We decided to get out of Ljubjlana and see it from a distance after we had spent a couple days walking all around it, and we chose Nejc and HourAway... read more based on good reviews. We were so very happy that we did! He's an amazing guide, quick to pick up on skill level and what level of challenge would be appropriate. As a couple in our 60s who have almost never mt. biked (but we do road biking) I had my apprehensions going on trails with roots and rocks, but Nejc's careful instructions and assurances made it all seem very doable and fun. The quality of his e-mountain bikes is excellent and we had a blast doing a 40K morning with great views, good exercise and a refreshing perspective. He's also really knowledgeable about Slovenia and surrounding countries and was great to talk with. Highly recommended - he also does private guided tours for small groups that want to come for a few days or a week -- and would be capable of planning/guiding a great hiking & biking adventure that is off the beaten path. Don't hesitate.

  Nejc (nates) explained the use of the bike and the structure options of the tour and then during the early part of the ride carefully evaluated riding skills and ability... read more so that the tour could be customized to the right level. We warmed up through town toward the west and then we rode! The bikes' power allowed us to cover impressive distances and huge vertical gains so that pretty soon we were in amazing alpine terrain, riding through tiny villages, visiting a hilltop church with 360-degree views, and stopping for štruklji in a locals-only village restaurant while enjoying a great view of another beautiful valley. We rode a bunch of seldom-used single-tracks, a bunch of luxuriously wide forest hiking trails, and some paved roads, too. Nejc clearly knows the territory and can mix and match rides depending on the clients. If you love beautiful countryside and can handle a bike, this experience is for you. When I think back on my visit to Ljubljana, I predict I'm going to immediately think of the view from that church on the hilltop, as well as the amazing ride getting up there. Thank goodness my wife found this tour. It would have been a shame to miss it.

  The highlight of our 10 day trip to Slovenia! Definitely the best way to see this beautiful country and don't be put off by the size of the hills, the... read more e-bikes really make them accessible for any ability. Really authentic Slovenian lunch at the halfway point with more stunning views, could not recommend this experience higher! thank you so much Nejc and Polina for an awesome day mountain biking! ‍♀️

  Thank goodness for locals knowing how to get away from the tourist and all the people! Nejc was an amazing guide and tailored our biking tour to escape the city... read more madness and enjoy some single track, road riding, and gravel riding on the e-bikes. I would highly recommend this tour if you like to bike and have some experience biking off-road. The views were great, there was some challenge and a traditional lunch was enjoyed.

  What a great experience! I’ve been traveling through Europe for a couple months and this was the best tour I’ve been on so far.

I’m not a mountain... read more biker, so Nate taught me the basics before getting started. He was very patient and customized the route for me.

Overall, Nate and Clement seem to really love what they do and care about the experience their guests have.
