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 

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!

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 

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 

A wonderful trip with e-bikes in nature My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our cycling trip through the beautiful nature of the Vipava Valley, guided by the extremely friendly and professional business owner Alex, who directed us to the hidden corners of the area. The e-bikes were brand new and flawless. This was my second time visiting the area and renting the e-bikes from RockVelo (was there 5y ago) and will gladly come back 🚴🏻‍♀️ I highly recommend! - 7/04/2023 

Top quality bikes & amazing day out! We rented 2 e-bikes from RockVelo. Alex dropped the bikes off at our hotel with a backpack, toolkit and bike locks. He also recommended an app with a customised route to follow. The e-bikes are top quality and we had a brilliant day exploring the vineyards & soca river. Highly recommended!! - 7/01/2023 

Sehr guter und freundlicher Fahrradshop mit toller Unterstützung und Tipps für die verschiedenen Touren. - 6/28/2023 

We stopped by RockVelo late in the afternoon and Alex was so kind and accommodating in getting us e-bikes at the last minute. We were quickly able to download the Komoot app where Alex has multiple routes in the Vipava valley loaded for easy navigation. We had the most wonderful afternoon biking around the vineyards and beautiful villages. The route had minimal traffic and we loved how peaceful it was. We have been biking in Napa and this area was so much more beautiful and less travelled. We hope to come back to this part of Slovenia so that we can cycle here again and would definitely use RockVelo for bike rental again. - 6/28/2023 

Very good agency. Quick and clear communication with Alex,he delivered the bikes at our accommodation in the morning and picked them up end of the day. Great bikes, very good Komoot tour plan included, fantastic day! We can recommend RockVelo - 6/28/2023 

Alex was very nice and the bike were good 👌 - 6/28/2023 

Bikes in good condition. Owner was very nice and navigation with their own tours via Komoot app worked just fine. - 6/28/2023 

Great bikes and great support for the trained and less trained cyclist. - 6/28/2023 

Recommend!! - 6/28/2023 

Alex and Miha couldn't do enough to make our biking trip so memorable. Assistance with route planning, recommendations on locations to visit, and back up support was fantastic. Slovenia was amazing, the car drivers so considerate towards cyslists, and the roads silky smooth. Alex and Miha were so friendly and welcoming, just like everyone we met in Slovenia.
If you are renting road bikes, do not hesitate to choose Rockvelo.
We shall return to explore more of this cycling paradise. - 5/30/2023 

Great experience We rented two e-MTBs. The bikes were clean, well-maintained and fully charged. The owner helped us deciding which route to take. He suggested us to do the 60k route, which was amazing. The route has some climbs and some descents, which were all doable with the bikes. - 9/16/2022 

We highly recommend Rockvelo. The E bikes we rented were in fantastic condition and of a very high quality. Alex delivered them to our hotel and brought along a map, bike locks and even a small rucksack for us to use. He showed us a very useful app to help us navigate the area and was so friendly and knowledgeable. All his tips and recommendations made for a superb few hours of cycling around stunning countryside on virtually empty roads. It was a highlight of our holiday in Slovenia. Thank you 🙏 L - 8/04/2022 

First class A fantastic day of independent cycling using these brilliant E bikes. They were brand new and great quality. Alex delivered them to our hotel and even brought a small rucksack for us to use. Locks and maps were provided too but Alex also showed us a very good app which helped us to navigate the area successfully on our own. He was very friendly and full of tips and advice as well as giving thorough instructions on how to use the bikes (it’s very easy!). The Vipava valley is stunning and virtually car free. We were there in July and the whole area was bursting with fruit trees, vines, sunflowers and summer vegetables. What a place! Thank you Rockvelo 😊 - 8/04/2022
