Loved by Our Guests

Rated 5* and loved by our community. Here's what our guests have said about their adventures.

We had such a great trip with Nejc and HourAway Bike Tours! Nejc made our trip so personal, we felt so welcomed everywhere! The country is truly beautiful. Through Nejc, it seemed we got to experience many things that the average traveler would not be able to experience. Even the accommodations were wonderful, we never wanted to leave!!

Karen Stuckey

We had a great time exploring Poljanska Valley with Uroš, covering a variety of terrains and seeing lots of beautiful views. Everything was very well tailored to both of us and we had a very fun active day trip from Ljubljana that we would highly recommend. Everything was super well-organised as well. Excellent and quick communication and we were picked up and brought back to the accommodation we were staying. Would definitely book an activity or even trip with Houraway again 😊

Anne S

Nejc organized an awesome eMTB trip for us! (and fairly last minute) We biked out from Ljubljana center and made it ~20KM into the hills nearby (thank you e-bikes) covering a variety of terrain. Additionally, Nejc is just pleasurable company and we enjoyed getting the chance to hear about his experiences and share ours. Really looking forward to being able book another adventure with Hour-Away!
