Customers experience:

We had the best day out with Ursa in the mountains surrounding Skofja Loka.

Ursa put this together at short notice and took care of our every need.

Bikes were excellent and the scenery was straight out of a post card set. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Wonderful.

A perfect day!

We had a great time.

The tour was fantastic, the views were unforgettable, and the lunch was lovely.

They have high-quality e-bikes that make the ride enjoyable (and easy enough).

I highly recommend it!

Lindsey S., Virginia (US)

This e-bike tour is easily my favorite memory from my time in Slovenia. Greenhills is a family owned business that radiates its core beliefs. Urša was an amazing guide- friendly, outgoing, and fun, and I had such a great time exploring the stunning landscape. There were moments for photo stops, dog pets, water breaks and a couple stops at a local butcher and dairy shop. I was so pleasantly surprised by this tour and loved going for a ride with Urša who effortlessly shared her authentic Slovenia with me. Until next time!
