Guest reviews

Rented a road bike from RockVelo Cycling & Tours in Škrilje. Axel is extremely friendly and professional, with extensive knowledge of road bikes. He adjusted the bike perfectly for me and then created a beautiful route that matched my level and preferences. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, with rolling hills and vast vineyards – perfect for exploring by bike. Top-quality bikes and excellent service – all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended! - 6/28/2025 

Alex was absolutely wonderful. So helpful and kind! He made sure we had everything we needed to ride with our 2 and 5 year old. The views and the route he recommended can not be beat - vineyards, churches, all along the river! - 6/17/2025 

Great bikes and even better service! Alex will take great care of you and give you tips on where to go. - 5/28/2025 

I've had the pleasure to meet both of the owners and even though I reached out to them pretty much last minute, they gladly helped me with the Thule carriage rental as well as the installation. I definitely recommend their service and am sure will contact them again next time I'm around. - 5/06/2025 

I recommend this place from the bottom of my heart! The host Aleks gave us great tips and we enjoyed the tour so so much. If you want to experience the beauty of Vipava valley make sure you stop at RockVelo and rent bikes. - 5/04/2025

We had just a few hours but Alex was flexible and provided us with two e-bikes on short notice. He also shared a perfect trail for us on Komoot. Excellent and friendly service, high quality e-bikes and stunning scenery- a perfect experience. Thanks Alex! - 8/18/2024 

We requested 7 non-electric road bikes and Alex has helped us greatly to find them for us. All delivered on time. The bikes were nearly new and were in great shape. When a chain broke Alex instantly responded and looked for a bike shop nearby the place where it happened so that we could continue our tour. Alex also shared some nice bike trips with us. - 8/14/2024 

We’ve had a great time on the bikes during our stay in Slovenia! The owner is very friendly and enthusiastic and gave us a lot of tips for cycling in the Vipava Valley. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. We would definitely recommend this one! - 8/14/2024 

Family e-bike ride in 35+ degrees! 😬 This was the most charming bike rental spot. Alex was particularly warm, welcoming and helpful. You got the impression that nothing was too much to ask and he had an excellent manner with the children. He made sure we had everything we needed before we left and gave great advice using the Komoot app. The kids absolutely loved the ease of the ride on a hot day and our son said, “the only problem was that you leave wondering how you can convince your parents to buy you an e-bike!” We would highly recommend RockVelo. Thank you Alex - 8/12/2024 

Very friendly personnel and awesome tips for tours! - 8/05/2024 

Great experience and great host Although initially a little hard to find once we were there Alex ( the owner) welcomed us really nicely. I gave him a WhatsApp the night before ( after office hours) and he replied and sorted everything. Set up was easy and the bikes are great. The route was easy to follow and stunning. Only word of caution is we did 2.5 hours and it felt enough. Was glad to get back and get in some air con! - 7/27/2024 

We had a beautiful bike tour around the vineyards in the Vipava valley. The owner is very friendly and flexible. He also came with some good tips. The bikes where super. Go and rent a bike yourself and enjoy as much as we did!

Great familiy biking experience! Alex immediately got us in the mood by greeting us very friendly and energetic. After this, he explained everything about the bikes very carefully. We were with a group of 8 people, and everybody got a super, perfectly fitting E-bike. We had a lot of fun during the ride, and enjoyed the incredible sights in de Slovenian mountains. This will definitly be a memory for our family forever. Thanks a lot Alex, keep doing what you do! - 7/08/2024 

Kljub temu, da sva se za najem ekoles odločila zadnjo sekundo, nama je Aleksej takoj priskočil na pomoč in nama kolesa pripeljal na želeno lokacijo. Komunikacija je bila hitra, vse je potekalo brez težav. Kolesa so odlična, poleg sva dobila tudi čeladi, nahrbtnik, ključavnici in držala za telefon. Na njihovi spletni strani sva odkrila prelepo kolesarsko pot, ki vodi ob Soči in preko Goriških Brd. Vse je potekalo popolno! - 6/27/2024 

What a fantastic place! We booked the night before in minutes which was great. Alex rang us first thing the next morning to say that unfortunately the shop was closed for the day but he'd come up with a plan so that we could still enjoy the bike hire. He sent us a location to collect our bikes and helmets, gave us some route recommendations for varying difficulty rides and an explanation of how to use the bikes.
I decided to find my own route for my wife and I which started out well but because of the steep incline we very quickly used a lot of bike battery. My phone then died despite having been fully charged and then my bike battery ran out because we'd done too much.
We had a great time on the unexpected single tracks of the forest but I do wish I'd listened to Alex's recommendations as I feel we'd have had an even better day.
Alex was so friendly and welcoming when we returned back some 6 hours later with empty batteries and very muddy bikes.
We would definitely hire through him again.
Thanks so much Alex! - 6/13/2024 

Really enjoyed the tour with Alex ! Even with minimal biking experience, I am so happy I booked it. The views are amazing as well as the ice cream, food and wine stops 😊 - 6/11/2024 

Alex is the perfect cycle tour guide! My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic eBike tour of the Vipava Valley with Alex as our guide. Alex was great at keeping in touch, tailored the route to suit our requirements, and helped my wife overcome her initial lack of confidence (by the end she was powering off into the distance!). We found Alex to be thoroughly engaging, with a great sense of humour. He is a fount of knowledge about the area and Slovenian culture. Despite being a very experienced cyclist he was very happy to go at a pace suitable for beginners like us. We were lucky enough to enjoy perfect weather, made frequent stops to discuss points of interest along the route, and enjoyed some wonderful locally made ice cream! The tour finished with lunch in a delightful historic village. We couldn't have wished for better hospitality, and would thoroughly recommend RockVelo to anyone who wants to get out for an exciting and educatonal ride in the countryside whilst on holiday. Thanks, Alex! - 5/28/2024 

My husband and I had the best time using RockVelo’s bicycles! We rented his e-bikes to be able to spend the day doing a long ride throughout Vipava valley. Our previous plans for the day had fallen through, so we called Alex at the recommendation of our hosts and he supplied the bikes within the hour! The bikes themselves ran wonderfully. Even better, the company had prepared routes that we could download and follow along to get the best views/experiences of the valley! Alex also gave us a map on which he drew our selected route and recommended some extra stops, which he drew onto our map and gave clear explanations of how to navigate there. His recommendations were very clear and also very appreciated, as they really added to our trip! Alex was kind, a clear communicator, and very thorough. We loved our day on the e-bikes and can’t recommend this company enough! - 5/27/2024 

We loved our bike rental with RockVelo! Lovely family business and beautiful bike ride. Can’t wait to go back! - 4/28/2024

Mocht je in de buurt zijn, zeker doen!!! Wat een geweldig onthaal en service. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Fietsen zijn in topconditie!!! Bedankt voor de geweldige dag en ervaring. - 8/28/2023 

We hired bikes for two days delivered to our accommodation. From beginning to end everything about dealing with Alex and Rockvelo was first class. The tour through vineyards recommended to us was exhilarating and beautiful. The restaurant recommended was also excellent. Added a wonderful dimension to our holiday. Great communication, excellent customer service - 8/28/2023 

Alex von RockVelo ist echt superfreundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit. Dank seiner tollen E-bikes und seinem prima Kartenmaterial haben wir eine wunderschöne Fahrradtour im Vipava-Tal unternehmen können - eine unvergessliche Erfahrung! Wir sind total begeistert und können RockVelo absolut weiterempfehlen!! - 8/28/2023 

Extraordinary! What a great way to discover the beautiful country of Slovenië, by cyclisch through the vinyards, having a great lunch and perfect service by Alex. - 8/15/2023 

Amazing tour! Great biketrip with friends, wonderful views and an incredibly good service from Rockvelo! We got a flat tire and we got a spare bike after less than 15min! - 8/09/2023 

Good bikes and good friendly service The bikes were very good and nice that you also get a route! We had children aged 1 and 4 and they had a seat and a for them. Nice bike ride all day. - 8/09/2023 

The weakest link Als niet erg ervaren mountainbikers het avontuur aangegaan met de ebikes van RockVelo. Zeer mooie tocht met hier en daar best wel pittig klimwerk, al dan niet door het niet zo nauwkeurig volgen van de route.. Halverwege de tocht hield de zwakste schakel van mijn ketting het voor bekeken.. na een telefoontje met Alex kon ik binnen het halfuur beschikken over een nieuw stalen ros om de tocht af te maken. Bij aankomst een hartelijke verwelkoming van Alex en zijn partner. Ondanks de pech een onvergetelijk avontuur,een aanrader en 4.99 sterren 🤩 waard!

Heel aardige en humoristische verhuurder! Let wel op NLers wij verkeken ons toch even op de klimmen rondt de vallei. Blijf er of in of pak toch een e-bike.. - 7/28/2023
