Switzerland’s heartland offers a perfect blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and gentle cycling routes, making this well-paced journey ideal for all ages. 

The cosmopolitan city of Zurich impresses with its medieval Old Town and scenic Lindenhof Hill, while the Limmat Valley leads past Baden’s thermal springs toward Solothurn, Switzerland’s finest Baroque town.

Following the Aare River, the landscape opens up into the breathtaking Three-Lakes Region, where Biel’s watchmaking heritage is nestled between rolling vineyards and serene waters – a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of local wine

The charm of Murten awaits, with its well-preserved medieval arcades and a scenic lakeside promenade along Lake Murtensee. Moreover, Lake Neuchâtel stretches all the way, reaching its southward Yverdon-les-Bains, where sandy beaches invite visitors to unwind and swim.

The journey culminates at the majestic Lake Geneva, leading to Lausanne, a city rich in culture and elegance. The lakeside promenade in Ouchy offers a stunning setting for a leisure stroll. With breathtaking lake and mountain views, Lausanne provides a perfect finale to this unique Swiss experience.

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

Top Company, Top Tour ! We did the 7 days tour (from Alps to Adriatic), from Bled to Piran in august 2024 ! It was the best tour made in years. Amazing landscapes and nature, great accommodations and food and perfectly organised. Daja did really a perfect job ! she was allways available for questions or suggestions ! I would recommend this tour to everyone.

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!

We had a wonderful tour of Greece on bikes. All of the hotels and towns were unique and wonderful, the rides were a reasonable length for my wife and we had a great time on our own without guides. Thank you very much and I would do the exact trip again.
