Kristina Boštjančič

As the Founder and Owner of Adriatic Moto Tours, Matej started the company as a way to combine his passion for riding motorcycles with a desire to share the beauty of his homeland with other people.

At a time when the countries of the former Yugoslavia were just opening their doors to tourism, Matej invited people to experience the exhilaration of riding the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Coast with him. Matej has a degree in Marketing from the University of Ljubljana and has been riding motorcycles for 25 years. He has been guiding tours since the company's inception fourteen years ago. His personal dedication to quality and customer service, as well as his vast knowledge and years of experience, will help ensure that you have the best motorcycle vacation possible.

Martina has been with the company since its start in 2004.

At first she was helping Matej in the afternoons after her regular job and joining the tours during her holidays, driving the support van. An avid traveler herself, it was somehow logical that Martina would join the company sooner or later. She quit her regular job and officially joined AMT in 2006. The early days were special, as one needed to do all the jobs the agency required. In the past 14 years, the company grew and Martina now runs the office and covers the marketing department. Her favorite job task is talking to clients either at the MOA Rally in the USA or in Australia at the Ulysses AGM. She loves discovering new destinations and meeting new people. If she could, she would be travelling all year round and spending most of her time in nature.

Kristina is an energetic, positive, and communicative person who enjoys challenges. The joy of learning new skills always motivates her.

He has always loved experiencing new cultures, languages and meeting people from all over the globe. He first got to experience that as a tour guide working in Ljubljana, and after a few years of working in digital marketing and e-commerce sectors, joining AMT was a great chance to reconnect with his love for tourism and to give a chance to people to discover the beautiful landscapes of Slovenia and Europe.

Željka joined AMT after 15 years of business experience in different areas.

10 years of multinational marketing and sales gave her a push to become her own boss and jumped into the sea of French pastry, pralines and chocolate. Travelling and working with Michelin restaurants are her most interesting experiences. After five years of developing her own brand, she learned the most valuable lesson: "more business, less creativity". She decided to make a switch – once more. She retired from kitchen and made a perfect combination: the right measure of business and creativity – so she joined AMT team. Preparing tours, communicating with hotels, and enjoying international environment, make her day interesting.

Looking for adventure but also searching for a job he could do, he later started as a tour guide. First in South East Asia and India and then he started taking travelers to all continents of the world. Once he discovered much of the world on two feet, he switched to two wheels. Now, riding as much as he can and as far as he can, you would have a tough time separating him from his boxer engine.

Niko joined us because he loves the adventure.

Since his early ages, he was discovering the beauty of motorcycles. His early days of an off road racing later evolved into his main passion - motorcycle travel. Living in Portugal, Western Africa and travelling most parts of the world, he has learned many languages, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish among them. In his free time, he likes to relax and read, practice a variety of extreme sports or simply grab his motorcycle and ride it into the horizon. Niko's favorite countries to visit are Italy and Czech Republic because of the beautiful scenery and great food.

Luka has been working as a tour guide for 12 years and has always been keen on motorbikes and cars.

Some day he got a call from AMT, and it seemed like a dream came true. Working in tourism combining it with the passion for motorbikes - what more can one want? He lives 100 km away from Venice and knows Italy very well. Italy is also his favorite country in which to travel; speaking fluent Italian makes it easier for him to understand their way of living and the culture. He also speaks English, French, Spanish, Croatian and Serbian. When he is not riding, he is skiing or playing tennis.

Matej grew up in a small town near Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana. Beautiful scenery overlooking the mountains drew him to mountain biking as a hobby.

Being a tourist guide for the last 10 years, joining AMT seemed like a next logical step forward combining his second hobby - leading motorcycle tours in Europe. When Matej is not guiding motorcycle tours for us, he is likely to be found on a challenging enduro or downhill mountain bike trail here or in some other part of the world.

He joined AMT despite having worked in a law office at the time, for his real passion was exploring the world on a motorcycle and showing it to other people.

He has been working as a tour guide from his early twenties, combining big bus tours around Europe and taking small group tours overseas. Tomaž has been with AMT since 2012.

Rok Borštnik

Guide & Video Production

Primož, also known as The Pineapple, joined Adriatic Moto Tours back in 2013. He's our guide and photographer.

Always on a lookout for new adventures, Primož enjoys travelling. Either for work - guiding - or privately. His dream come true would be exploring West America in his "Americana". Beside motorcycles he loves old V8 cars and also has a strong bond with aviation. He enjoys everything that runs on petrol. He's always engaged in new things and likes diversity. No wonder his field of work covers everything from IT and telecommunications, aviation, and marketing, as well as guiding for AMT. After his travels he always likes returning back home - to the capital of the "chicken" country – Ljubljana.

  • Education: Information Security Engineer
  • Languages: Slovenian, English, Croatian
  • In my home garage: Aprilia Tuono Factory, BMW Z4 roadster
  • Hobbies: everything that runs on gasoline, photography, videography
  • Favorite Tour: Adriatic Alps Adventure
  • Top rest day: Bovec, Slovenia.
  • When I grow up... I'll never grow up. I will only get old and dusty and grumpy, in my garage, my man cave, full of machines, tools and beer.

Travel has been an intrinsic part of his life ever since he can remember.

From a young age he has always been intrigued by the endless possibilities of new places; every trip revealed new horizons, a complete mystery to him at the time. Growing up he would often hop on his bike and let the road take him to different places, different worlds. When he started working as a tourist guide he was completely taken over by this job. Despite taking the same roads over and over again, he could find excitement and inspiration in all of his journeys. Joining AMT team as a tour guide was a step forward combining two of his big passions: travelling and motorcycle riding. Or as Boris likes to say, he now lives the life by the words of Henry Miller: One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

  • Education: Master of andragogy
  • Languages: Slovenian, English, Croatian, Serbian
  • In my home garage: BMW R 1200 GS
  • Hobbies: sport shooting, skiing, mountaineering, carpentry
  • Favorite Tour: Top of the Alps
  • Top rest day: ride over Swiss passes
  • When I grow up... I will learn to play the violin.

Rok and his friends were fixing old mopeds in his home garage, which is how he started riding motorcycles at age twelve.

Since then he has explored the world on two wheels. Starting with Slovenia on his Yamaha DT125, he fanned out into neighboring countries on bigger and bigger bikes until he settled on a BMW 1150GSA. Then Rok rode South, Central and North America for a year, during which his passion for riding only grew stronger. To pursue his dream he became a tour guide for Adriatic Moto Tours, and he has been with the team since 2013. Rok has also discovered a love for video production. He can't get away from his cameras even when he is riding. That is why you will most likely meet him with a camera on top of his helmet.

  • Education: Sociologist
  • Languages: Slovenian, English, Croatian, German
  • In my home garage: BMW R 1150 GS Adventure
  • Hobbies: travelling, film making, photography, karate, cleaning my front brake calipers
  • Favorite Tour: Alps Deluxe & French Riviera
  • Top rest day: Corvara, Dolomites
  • When I grow up: I'll be a mixture of Bear Grylls, Henry Cole and Clint Eastwood.

Peter Cvelbar

Guide

My name is Milko Mati and I'm an addict...

From the moment he took his first steps, he started skiing, and then he got into biking. At the age of 15, he bought his first moped, and since then, he's been on a motorcycling high. As a student, he began working as a guide in Greece, and that's when his addiction to it started. Five years ago, he started organizing tours with AMT, and he's hooked on it. His full-time job is in his family company, so he only has time for two or three tours per year. He's frustrated that on the visa form, you can't check both 'Business' and 'Pleasure.'

He used to spend a lot of time in the mountains working as a mountaineering guide and as an instructor in a high ropes park. He joined AMT after he stopped working in a lab as a chemist. He likes to spend his free time with his family and be somewhere in nature. He likes to try and learn new things in life.

When he was young, Peter joined the Slovenian Police… to be on a motorcycle.

Since then, he has been a committed BMW rider. He had a "big pause" and didn't ride a motorcycle because he prioritised his family. Three kids were more important than twisty Slovenian roads but in the last 10 years, he is catching up on lost kilometres as much as he can. Luckily his wife is riding as a passenger with him. They cruised through almost all of Italy, the Alps and the Balkans. He is not trying to hide his police / military education and is very proud if riders feel safe with him. As an active NCO in the Slovenian Armed Forces, since 2017, he takes his leave of absence to work for AMT, to be with riders as a guide on a motorcycle or in the van.

Guide & Photography

Primož, also known as The Pineapple, joined Adriatic Moto Tours back in 2013. He's our guide and photographer.

Always on a lookout for new adventures, Primož enjoys travelling. Either for work - guiding - or privately. His dream come true would be exploring West America in his "Americana". Beside motorcycles he loves old V8 cars and also has a strong bond with aviation. He enjoys everything that runs on petrol. He's always engaged in new things and likes diversity.

After his travels he always likes returning back home - to the capital of the "chicken" country – Ljubljana.

Boris Klančnik

Guide

Travel has been an intrinsic part of his life ever since he can remember.

From a young age he has always been intrigued by the endless possibilities of new places; every trip revealed new horizons, a complete mystery to him at the time. Growing up he would often hop on his bike and let the road take him to different places, different worlds. When he started working as a tourist guide he was completely taken over by this job. Despite taking the same roads over and over again, he could find excitement and inspiration in all of his journeys. Joining AMT team as a tour guide was a step forward combining two of his big passions: travelling and motorcycle riding. Or as Boris likes to say, he now lives the life by the words of Henry Miller: One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

  • Education: Master of andragogy
  • Languages: Slovenian, English, Croatian, Serbian
  • In my home garage: BMW R 1200 GS
  • Hobbies: sport shooting, skiing, mountaineering, carpentry
  • Favorite Tour: Top of the Alps
  • Top rest day: ride over Swiss passes
  • When I grow up... I will learn to play the violin.

Rok Borštnik

Guide & Video Production

Rok and his friends were fixing old mopeds in his home garage, which is how he started riding motorcycles at age twelve.

Since then he has explored the world on two wheels. Starting with Slovenia on his Yamaha DT125, he fanned out into neighboring countries on bigger and bigger bikes until he settled on a BMW 1150GSA. Then Rok rode South, Central and North America for a year, during which his passion for riding only grew stronger. To pursue his dream he became a tour guide for Adriatic Moto Tours, and he has been with the team since 2013. Rok has also discovered a love for video production. He can't get away from his cameras even when he is riding. That is why you will most likely meet him with a camera on top of his helmet.

  • In my home garage: BMW R 1150 GS Adventure
  • Hobbies: travelling, film making, photography, karate, cleaning my front brake calipers
