I had an amazing experience with Italy Bike Tour! Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish, making the entire trip completely stress-free. A special thank you to Pavel, who was an outstanding guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always made sure everyone had a great experience on and off the bike. The entire team was incredibly friendly, supportive, and passionate about cycling. Riding through the Dolomites was unforgettable, and the excellent organization allowed us to focus on enjoying every climb, descent, and breathtaking view. I highly recommend Italy Bike Tour to anyone looking for a world-class cycling experience in Italy. I’ll definitely be back!

I recently had the great pleasure of doing IBT Tour. Ivan, Jack and Luca from ITB were first class in the way they looked after us both on and off the bike. Great riding, great accommodation and great food!! I highly recommend IBT!!

Sergio June 2026
★★★★★

We are very happy to have found a company that values its employees. We were treated like family, and that is extremely important. The boys are extremely polite and attentive. At all times, they prioritized our safety and comfort, which is of utmost importance. These were days of accomplishments, thanks to the choice of tours and the guarantee of success. It was truly worth the time and money invested. Boys, we love you!!!! Jack and Simone are fully qualified for the position.

Mark May 2026
★★★★★

The 12 Day Giro Trip was unforgettable!! Full immersion into Italian 🇮🇹 culture! The people, the places, the food, the coffee stops, and the cycling - stupendous! Behind the name “Italian Bike Tours” are a group of people (guides, mechanics, and owners) who really do care about your experience. IBT has captured the concept of “hospitality” and my wife and I had an absolute “ball” on our Giro d’Italia adventure!

Greg May 2026
★★★★★

Had an incredible experience during the second week of the Giro d’Italia. Every day brought a unique and unforgettable experience, with the final VIP day, it truly took it to another level. Fausto and the entire IBT team Lorenzo, Marco, Giacomo and Anita made this a trip to remember. Their passion, organization, and hospitality were outstanding from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the Giro in a special way.

Italy Bike Tours – Stunning Slovenia Itinerary

Day
by day.

Six incredible days to experience Slovenia at its best - where alpine scenery, culture and village life come together.

Your adventure starts at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), where our friendly team will be waiting to welcome you.

From there, we’ll head into the mountains and settle into our first hotel, with time to relax and get your bike perfectly fitted.

Then it’s time to clip in for a gentle welcome ride through alpine valleys, traditional villages and peaceful roads beneath the Julian Alps - a beautiful first taste of what lies ahead.

Tonight, we will celebrate the start of an amazing journey together, with a local dinner and traditional flavours.

Hotel Astoria | Bled

Today we ride deeper into the Julian Alps, surrounded by towering peaks, dense forests and crystal-clear mountain rivers.

We’ll take our time to enjoy the scenery, stopping for a relaxed mid-morning coffee in one of the alpine villages along the way./p>

As the ride continues, the landscape opens into beautiful valleys and dramatic mountain views, with a well-earned lunch in Kranjska Gora, one of Slovenia’s most iconic alpine towns.

We will then head back to our hotel, to refresh, relax and enjoy a well deserved dinner.

Hotel Astoria | Bled

Today’s ride takes us through the beautiful Bohinj Valley, where traditional alpine villages, open meadows and forested slopes sit beneath the dramatic peaks of the Julian Alps.

As we approach Lake Bohinj, the scenery becomes even more impressive, with crystal-clear water framed by mountains and dense forest. After the ride, we’ll swap the bikes for kayaks and head out onto the lake, paddling across the calm water with the Julian Alps rising all around us.It’s the perfect way to experience Bohinj from two completely different perspectives — first from the saddle, then from the water.

Our day ends with a good dinner in Bled.

Hotel Astoria | Bled

Today we leave the high mountains behind and watch the landscape gradually soften as the journey takes on a completely different character. The route winds through dense forests, rolling green valleys and quiet farming areas, linking small villages where daily life moves at a slower pace.

We’ll ride along peaceful, lesser-travelled roads, with time for a relaxed coffee stop and a local lunch along the way.

We’ll finish the ride in Ljubljana, then head to our new hotel to settle in and enjoy the evening in Slovenia’s lively town of Hruševje.

Pira Hotel | Hruševje

Today we continue south as the scenery changes once again, leaving the alpine landscapes behind for rolling countryside, dense forests and Slovenia’s distinctive Karst terrain.

As we reach the Postojna region, we’ll leave the bikes behind and visit the extraordinary Postojna Caves, exploring their vast chambers and remarkable underground formations.

After the visit, we’ll head back to our hotel and get ready for our final evening together.

Pira Hotel | Hruševje

After an early breakfast, we’ll set off for our final ride through the peaceful Karst countryside, with Predjama Castle as the highlight of the morning. Built dramatically into a 123-metre-high cliff and standing for more than 800 years, it is one of Slovenia’s most extraordinary landmarks and the world’s largest cave castle.

After taking time to admire the castle and its spectacular setting, we’ll continue the final kilometres of the ride before heading back to the hotel. There will be time to freshen up, pack and check out, bringing our Slovenian adventure to a memorable close.
