Best trip ever

We could not have found ourselves in better hands than those of Jernej and Nejc. They were very flexible in the planning – from offering single-track rides for our more experienced riders to stopping at swimming holes for a dip and planning shaded rides for our hottest days to surprise picnics. They were always cheerful and we were able to learn much about Slovenian life through our many conversations.

Barbara, Fort Collins – Colorado

The Trans Slovenia ebike tour is the perfect adventure to escape the daily routine.

Thank you so much!”

Klil & Sivan, Israel

“Jernej and Ursa Green Hills are professionals! Everything was done on time with great love and care, the bikes were perfect and taken care of daily, and the tracks were great. We were with 2 groups for two weeks in a row and it was un believable. We highly recommend going with them, on bikes or walking track. They are the best !!!”

Chris, USA

“Our group of 10 adults, all over the age of 62, was expertly guided by Jernej and his Greenhills team for 8 days of exploring the stunning beauty of Slovenia by E-bike (Trans Slovenia ebike tour). Every one of our needs or concerns was immediately addressed so that we each had a great time. Sometimes we split up into different groups to better fit what we wished to do each day and Greenhills was most accommodating and flexible. The bikes were in excellent condition and recharged nightly.
Having led several bike groups on trips with other guide services in other countries, I can attest that Jernej and Urša and Nejc and Uroš have proven to be the BEST I have experienced. Hvala Lepa!!!”
