Where is the pickup and which transfers are included?

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Where do I eat when the food is not included?

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

I have food restrictions. Are there any restaurants for me?

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

Will I have some time to myself?

Yes! Our holidays are designed to give you some free time every day to relax and spend it the way you want to. It is your holiday after all! For any advice and suggestions you can always turn to your tour leader or our back office, who will be more than happy to help you out.

Slovenia is famous for its many very special castles. Some stand atop cliffs, like the one at Lake Bled, while others are located inside cliffs, like the cave castle in Predjama. Then there is Otočec Castle, built right in the middle of a river. As the name suggests (otočec means small island), the gothic style Otočec Castle was built on a small island in the 13th century and is connected to both banks by wooden bridges. Once a strategically placed manor, now one of the most prestigious hotels and restaurants in Slovenia, Otočec Castle presents guests with a chance to stay in beautiful, unspoilt natural surroundings in exquisite comfort while enjoying the spoils of court life.

A combination of boutique luxurious suites and modern facilities, this castle-turned-hotel also has a fantastic restaurant with its very own resident chef, promising healthy and regionally distinctive cuisine at the highest level.

Otočec Castle’s surroundings are not only strikingly gorgeous, they also offer fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities. From strolls in the castle’s park and its vicinity, a game of golf at the nearby golf course, sporty pastimes at the Otočec Sports Centre, to adrenaline adventures at the Otočec Adventure Park or some relaxation at the thermal pools and wellness centres at the nearby Šmarješke Toplice Spa and Dolenjske Toplice Spa. Whatever your heart desires, the Otočec Castle Hotel is quite literally a fairy-tale come true.
