Dear Heather. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your customised Walk of Peace hiking experience with us. It was a pleasure helping you shape the itinerary around your available time in Slovenia and making sure the logistics, accommodation, transfers, and navigation were all in place for a smooth trip. We are especially glad to hear that the pre-trip Zoom briefing and our navigation app were helpful — we know that good preparation makes a big difference, especially when travelling from far away. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Slovenia and help you complete the full Walk of Peace tour next time! Janja & Visit Goodplace Team

Dear Nico. Thank you very much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are very happy to hear that you had a great holiday overall, enjoyed the passage through the Alps, the mine section, the arrival in Piran, and that Slovenia left you with the wish to come back for more mountain biking. Slovenia Route 4 is a demanding “trans” style MTB tour, connecting different mountain biking regions and natural MTB terrain all the way from Koroška in the north-east of Slovenia to Piran on the Adriatic coast. Because the tour crosses several very different regions, some connecting road sections are unavoidable. Wherever possible, the route is designed to stay as off-road as realistically possible, and the surface mix and daily route details are included in the tour materials and published in the daily descriptions. Regarding the blocked sections, we completely understand that this can be frustrating. We regularly check and update our routes, and this route was last fully checked at the end of last season, when all sections were open and rideable. However, with long-distance MTB routes, occasional temporary changes can happen during the season due to forestry work, storm damage, landslides, grazing livestock, electric pasture fences, or local access changes. We would be grateful if you could share any specific locations with us, so we can check them and update the route information where needed. All our tours in general include 3–4* accommodation, depending on the location, availability, services. In some smaller places, accommodation options are limited, while in larger towns we work with places that provide reliable service, with convenient location. We understand that for some MTB riders simpler accommodation may feel more appropriate, and we appreciate this comment as useful feedback. At this mountain location, dining options are very limited, and dinner at the accommodation is usually the only practical option. Since dinner was arranged directly between you and the accommodation, we unfortunately do not have influence over the specific meal agreed or served. We have not received negative feedback about this location before, so this may have been an unfortunate misunderstanding, but we will take your feedback into account for future guests. Thank you again for travelling with us and for your constructive feedback. We are glad that, despite a few points mentioned, you had a nice holiday, discovered Slovenia, and plan to return for more mountain biking. We would be happy to welcome you again.
