Please have your first day’s riding gear handy and separate from your other luggage to facilitate the bike fitting and ride.
If you will be late for the pick-up or are going to miss it altogether, please inform your guides.

If you plan to explore Venice before the trip starts, options include bus, land taxi, or private water taxi to central Venice from the airport.

Your Trip Need to Knows:
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana is one of Europe's hidden gems. It is one of the smallest European capitals, one of Europe's greenest, and definitely the most magical. It was the European Commission's Green Capital of Europe in 2016. Car traffic is restricted in the centre, leaving the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city's heart, free for pedestrians and cyclists. The promenade, the squares, and the ancient buildings, as well as the markets and galleries, the restaurants and cafes all come together to create a simply wonderful urban atmosphere. The city is surrounded by parks and areas of protected nature. It’s a green capital of a green country which offers relaxing time while enjoying the sights. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Urban Boutique Hotel Center
As the name suggests, the hotel is set in Ljubljana centre, where you can access the most popular points that represents the essence of Ljubljana. Only 100 meters sets you apart from the world-famous Three Bridges, the old town with Plecnik marketplace, and within reach are a number of art galleries, vibrant bars, boutiques and many hidden points that invite you to explore. www.urbanhotel.com
Lesar Angel Hotel
This charming, family-run four-star boutique hotel is the epitome of style and luxury in Ljubljana’s old town, boasting meticulous interior design and attention to every detail. The captivating interior and serene garden beneath Castle Hill create an intimate ambiance.

The hotel features a rooftop swimming pool and is the place where you can enjoy a quiet location in the very heart of Ljubljana's centre. www.vanderhotel.com
Venice, Italy
Whether you’ve never been to Venice or have been there 20 times, there’s always something new to discover. Indeed, even the most seasoned visitors get lost in the city’s labyrinthine network of islands, bridges, pedestrian alleys, and canals. And therein lies the beauty of the destination: afternoons spent wandering from palace to piazza, exploring the small art museums, shopping the stalls that line the streets, and encountering a fresh side of Venice, a fascinating amalgamation of influences— Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Italian—every time you round a corner. The UNESCO World Heritage site comprises the city of Venice and its lagoon situated in the Veneto Region of northeast Italy. Founded in the fifth century and spread over 118 small islands, Venice became a major maritime power in the 10th century. The whole city is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece in which even the smallest building contains works by some of the world’s greatest artists. We recommend the following accommodations for your pre- and post-trip hotel:
Where to Stay
Oltre Il Giardino
The house, which once belonged to Alma Mahler, a composer’s widow who lived there in the 1920s, lies next to a small canal just a stone’s throw from the Church of the Frari and has now been turned into an exclusive but home-like retreat. This enchanting place in the heart of Venice offers something unique to those visiting the city. Having only six rooms, it is quite like a guest house, but with the utmost focus on luxury. The garden, with its olive trees, magnolia, and pomegranate, is an oasis of peace and tranquility, and it provides the possibility to relax amidst its green and embrace well being. www.oltreilgiardino-venezia.com
Hotel Antiche Figure
This quaint hotel occupies a fabulous 15th-century palazzo overlooking Venice’s Grand Canal, adjacent to an ancient Gondola workshop. The hotel takes its name from the Renaissance frescos of "antique figures" that once adorned its facade. This historic setting provides the perfect venue from which to explore and to experience the true Venice and the perpetual dialogue between present and past, ancient and modern. Conveniently located across from the railway station and water taxis, it’s also within walking distance to most points of interest. www.hotelantichefigure.com

*Cross Country, Discover, Race, and Special Edition trips as well as a small number of select departures have a minimum guest count to guarantee. Please check with your Trip Consultant for more information.
Unforeseen events may make it necessary to cancel or modify a trip. Our Guest Services team will update you with any changes. We reserve the right to cancel departures in cases of force majeure or the failure of third parties—such as hotels—to honor their reservations, in which case all payments received to date will be refunded, which constitutes full settlement. Trek Travel is not responsible for expenses incurred in preparation for any canceled trips, such as airline tickets, or for costs that are incurred due to travel delays, flight cancellations, or illness. We strongly encourage Travel Protection for complete coverage.
We understand things happen in life and sometimes you have to cancel or change your tour.

Sharing the joy that comes with wow moments
Trek Travel guides are dedicated to making moments that last a lifetime, and we invite you to thank them with a trip gratuity. These are customary and at your own discretion, to recognize service, hospitality, and the little extras that surprise and delight. For this Signature trip, we recommend between $240-$300 per guest and, of course, you may choose to give more if your guides made your trip an unforgettable experience.
Like everything else about your vacation, the Trek Travel team is here to make this experience easier for you. While local currency is preferred, you may also tip through the following options:
Via PayPal (please have this account set up in advance when possible) or with your guest services representative on the phone before or after the trip.
Gratuities will be divided among the guide team, so feel free to leave your gratuity with whomever you choose at the end of your trip.
You cannot put a price on a wow. But you can show your thanks for an exceptional experience.
