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 off for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind and let us know upon booking.

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.

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.

I would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays-Guided and Self-Guided Tours. Every detail was managed for us, making our travels easy and fun. I was able to work with Urska to create a magical a travel itinerary for a group of 16. She was able to answer any and all of our questions, making our trip full of special memories that we will have for our lifetime. It was as is she read our minds, planning our trip. The accommodations and activities were perfect for our group. We went white water rafting, ziplining, swimming in alpine streams and lakes, horseback riding, hiking, you name it. Our ages ranged from 8 to 78, so to say it worked beautifully for the 16 of us is an even more impressive! Our tour guide, David, was amazing. He truly understood our travel needs, anticipating what we desired before we even knew it. He and our other driver/guide, Thomas were wonderful. Each gentleman made our trip fantastic. We were truly sad to leave Slovenia. It is beautiful, the people are friendly, and the food is delicious! The whole process was easy; and any needs were addressed. All 16 of us would recommend Slovenia Holidays-Guided and Self-Guided Tours. They are AMAZING!

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. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. Five stars all 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. Thank you again Sarah

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!

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.
