Description
This active holiday includes the main sights of the area while ample opportunities are given to explore the less-visited spots away from the main tourist trail. For the most part, you will be kept busy with outdoor activities, either hiking or cycling and optionally paddle boarding on the lake — all fantastic ways to experience the place without being in a rush to do so.
Staying at Lake Bled will give you the chance to spend some time on your own and create your private memories, while we will take care of the more active endeavors, such as cycling around the lake and to the town of Radovljica, hiking in Vintgar and Mostnica Gorges, Savica Waterfall, Mount Vogel, Ojstrica viewpoint and many more. You can opt to try out paddle boarding on Lake Bled, which makes a brilliant trip to the island in the middle.
If your holiday time is limited, this city break works wonders as it presents you with ample active time in nature, and some leisure time in one of the best spots in Slovenia.

Things to know
The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Bled. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.
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.
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.
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.
A tourist and promotion tax is a fee that every visitor has to pay for each overnight stay all over Slovenia. It consists of two parts: each municipality charges a tourist tax fee, which goes towards financing and maintenance of tourist facilities in the area, and the Slovenian Tourist Board charges a promotion tax, which is used to promote Slovenia. Depending on the municipality, the tax rates vary – from 1.5€ in some locations to 3.13€ in Ljubljana or Bled (per person, per night).
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.

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.

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.

Our trip to Slovenia was nothing short of amazing, thanks to the incredible planning and support we received. Urska crafted a fantastic itinerary tailored perfectly to our interests—she truly listened and selected hotels that matched exactly what we were looking for. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Nina, whose knowledge brought so much depth to our journey. Her flexibility and willingness to pivot when we stumbled upon unexpected gems made the experience even more memorable. Both Urska and Nina made us feel cared for every step of the way.

Dear Urska
Happy New Year!
I wanted to extend our sincere gratitude for the amazing trip you put together for us. Every detail had been arranged and shared with us, making the trip stress free and extremely relaxing.
Having never previously used a travel agent I admit to being a little apprehensive, but I can't praise you enough for the seamless organisation and arrangements.
Tomaz was fantastic and stayed in contact as required for our various transfers. I would highly recommend you and your team to anyone travelling to Slovenia.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Google account so it will not register my 5-star rating, but please feel free to use the above for a testimonial.

Having just returned from eight days in Slovenia, I can only say "wow". It is a magnificent country of beauty, greenery, and friendliness. Slovenia Tours created an itinerary for the eight people in our group, and we could not have been happier. Our journey took us to Ljubljana, Lake Bled and Piran with many unique stops along the way. Our guide, Tine, helped to make this trip even more enjoyable. His understanding of the English language was impeccable, his knowledge of the country's history was vast, and his sense of humor was constant...had us continually laughing. Our group has traveled extensively, but I can confidently say this was one of our best trips!

We had a fantastic holiday in Slovenia. This was our first time visiting and we’re very glad that we had someone who was an expert in the area to book the holiday for us. Everything was fantastic, the hotel room was amazing, the ski resort was really family friendly and the kids enjoyed the skiing and the swimming pool next to slopes. We discovered some excellent restaurants with great food and lovely Slovenia wine and all great value.

Slovenia Holidays / World Discovery ( travel agent Grega) arranged a one week travel program for us in Slovenia, combining our own wishes of some hiking and nature experiences, some sea-, city- and country-side visits and his own suggestions (Ljubljana food tour, Planina cave spelunking with personal guide, etc.). The process around customising the itinerary and perfecting it went very smooth. He arranged tickets, guides and a rental car, all accessible through a neat app, and the plan turned out to fit very well, including a rental car upgrade to accommodate larger then anticipated suitcases. We had not heard so much about Slovenia beforehand, but it is amazing, as are its people, food, culture and not least its diverse nature, its exceptional gorges and caves.

Slovenia tours did an amazing job and I do not say this lightly. It was an extraordinary voyage through a stunning and lovely and friendly country that left us all in awe and full of admiration.
The activities, the guides, the transport, the locations, the combination of all the various agenda items were wonderful. The hotels fulfilled the expected standard and were all very pleasant.

We had such a great time with Slovenia Holidays. Ivana was simply amazing. She made an amazing itinerary for our family (two girls 9 & 12). She guided us throughout our travel and kept it fun and interesting for our girls (and grown ups). She was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the country, culture and history. Fantastic recommendations for lodging and food. We would definitely plan a future trip to Slovenia with Ivana and Slovenia Holidays.

What a wonderful company! We've never done any guided holidays before, preferring to go it alone. But with 3 young kids now in tow we decided to get some help. And what help! Nothing was too much trouble, all the guides were fantastic - the accommodation they selected was great and all the transfers were hassle free. Thoroughly recommend!
