If you are looking to discover the best attractions of the Green Heart of Europe, then this nine-day Slovenia highlights tour is the one for you. From the vibrant streets of Ljubljana capital, the pristine alpine lakes Bled and Bohinj, the mysterious Karst underworld, and the coastline town Piran —Slovenia will amaze you with its natural beauty, tasty cuisine, and rich history.
You’ll begin your tour in Ljubljana, Europe’s Green Capital, which offers amazing sightseeing, excellent gastronomy, and outdoor recreation. Next on our itinerary is the versatile Karst region with its mythical Škocjan caves, listed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites and the famous Lipica stud farm, the oldest European stud farm. After a short drive, you will already see the dreamy coastline of the Adriatic. There you will learn about the fascinating history of Piran, one of the most beautiful old towns in the country, and discover how salt was harvested 700 years ago while visiting the Sečovlje Salt Pans.
If you are a foodie, who enjoys a glass of “vino” with his meal, then you are in for a treat when we visit the Vipava valley wine region. Local winemakers will be happy to take you around their wineries, prepare a wine tasting and maybe even share some secrets about their award-winning wines. Another valley that you will discover is the Soča valley, named after the breathtaking emerald river flowing through it. With easy and relaxing hikes, you will explore the region’s highlights such as the Kozjak Waterfall, Tolmin Gorge, and the Kobarid WWI Museum, serving as a reminder of the fierce battles in the first world war that stormed the valley.
With a scenic drive over the Vršič mountain Pass, you will arrive at one of the most famous locations in Slovenia, Bled. Its many attractions like the traditional Pletna boat ride to Lake Bled island, or a cable car ride to Mount Vogel will guarantee a remarkable ending to your holiday in Slovenia that you will remember for years to come.

The tour plan was really wonderful, a good balance of urban and outdoor locations and experiences. The trip app worked perfectly, making it simple to keep organized with excursion vouchers, route maps, site descriptions, etc. it also made it easy to communicate with the travel company when we occasionally had questions. We were amazed at how much variety there was in a relatively small area. I highly recommend this company and this particular trip plan for anyone who would like to explore this area of Slovenia.


Just outstanding! Guide Tine was a pleasure to travel with, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. This company truly showcases the beauty of Slovenia from wine and cuisine to natural beauty and culture. We HIGHLY recommend a private food and wine tour!


The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.


Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.


Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
