What people say when they get home
“I’ve done a lot of organised trips and usually spend half of them wishing the route was harder. Not this one. Day three out of the Soča valley was the best riding of my life, full stop.”
“The guides made it. Ours grew up two valleys over and had a story for every ruin we passed. We ate at his aunt’s place on the last night. You can’t book that.”
“Asked them to build a custom week for six of us around Istria. They came back with a route none of us would have found in a year of looking. Already booking the next one.”
The best way to know a country is to pass through it
Highlander Gravel Adventures designs custom bicycle tours in Slovenia and Croatia. We believe the best way to know a country is to pass through the landscape by bicycle while enjoying the scenery, the cuisine and the people.
