Slovenia - Capital to Coast - Self-Guided Leisure Cycling Holiday

To us, Skedaddle is now a guarantee of quality...

To us, Skedaddle is now a guarantee of quality. No need to worry if the holiday will match our expectations, we KNOW it will – and more! The service Skedaddle provided was comprehensive as always. It seems that every possible problem has been foreseen, and then solved before it even happens!

As we were early in the season and hotels were not yet fully booked, we were quite often upgraded – to king size, de luxe, whatever! It would have been churlish to refuse… I think the day we cycled to Postojna was perhaps my favourite. Yes it was cold, and yes it had also rained (but hey – we come from the North!) but we had such a warm – in every sense – welcome at the hotel. Then we visited the awe-inspiring limestone caves at Postojna, an experience NOT to be missed.

The bikes were in excellent condition, and Slovenia’s Skedaddle representative spent a long time making sure everything was just right for us, adjusting saddle heights, etc. As a precaution we had packed our own bike saddles from home, but in the event we didn’t need these: the saddles provided were perfectly comfortable, even on the longest cycling days.

The luggage transfer service was seamless! Luggage was always there waiting for us at each hotel. Our driver who met us at and returned us to Ljubljana Airport was friendly, informative and very good company. This meant our holiday started and finished in a positive cheerful way. Every option was covered in the pre-departure information – as we have come to expect! Of particular help were the suggestions of good places to eat in the evenings, each time we reached a new destination. It saved us a lot of aimless searching, and we were never disappointed. We also particularly appreciate the pre-departure phone call from Skedaddle – a nice personal touch.

We’ve already recommended you to several friends! We’ve now been on four Skedaddle holidays. It’s only a question of time till we embark on our fifth! Thank you very much for another marvelous holiday!

I loved every minute.

I loved every minute. The bikes were amazing. The routes interesting. Everyday was different. We did the extras which were well worth it. I loved Slovenia. The countryside varied and the people were most friendly. Bikes provided – the best bike I have ever ridden!

Excellent service!

Traveled many times with Skedaddle and their trusted partners. Always problem free. Excellent service, I keep coming back! I have to say that all of the days were great, with something of interest to go and do on each day, set as optional side trips. Slovenia is a hidden gem, which they are trying to keep quiet!

Each day had its own highlights...

Very good service, booking was easy and accurate and e-mail communication was timely. Each day had it’s own highlights – we loved visiting Lipica. The bikes provided were excellent, all 4 bikes were in good repair and the e-bikes were perfect! The Skedaddle rep, Thomas, gave us our intro & orientation. He was very thorough and detailed which we appreciated.

Don't think I'd trust anybody else when booking a cycling holiday!

From expressing an interest to booking and going, Saddle Skedaddle staff were excellent. Consistently high standards delivered year on year. Really fantastic accommodation! Enjoyed all the days, so many different experiences on the route. Enjoyed last day along coast. Don’t think I’d trust anybody else when booking a cycling holiday!

Skedaddle service was friendly!

We combined this holiday with a walking holiday run by a different company and Skedaddle service was better – friendlier, less fussy, clearer and more responsive, well done. Having done both group and self-guided with you, I’d go for self-guided as I’m happier setting my own pace.

As seen in the press...

From Saddle Skedaddle is an eight-day self-guided cycling tour that begins in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, and continues into Italy, passing Trieste on the way to the Slovenian coast. The route ends in Piran.
