Great Slovenian Tour
Lynn_C, October 2026
This was a really great tour! Our guide, Vojka was superb and I felt like she went above and beyond any tour guide I have ever had. It's was a long day, but so worth going to see all these magical places. So glad we went!!

Brillliant tour
Katy_D, October 2026
Fabulous tour to see the highlights of Slovenia in one day. Great driver/guide. Very clear directions. Easy to find collection point, on time. Lovely clean and comfortable minibus. Ample time in each destination. Bring snacks and drinks to have between stops (although do leave room for an ice cream on Bled Island)!
Response from the operator · Slovenia E Clear directions, an easy meeting point and a clean, comfortable van are the small things we work at so the big things can take over, so thank you for noticing them, Katy. The snack tip is spot on, and leaving room for the island ice cream 🍦 is advice we would happily add to the listing.

Slovenia in one day tour exceeds expectations
Mark_M, October 2026
Took the Slovenia in one day tour today with Luka. Excellent in every way. The day unfolded exactly as described, and Luka provided non-stop commentary about the sites as well as great insights into Slovenian history, culture and lifestyle. The attractions were impressive, options were offered to customize your experience and Luka engaged with each of us to ensure that we got what we wanted from the tour. Highly recommend! Thanks Luka!
Response from the operator · Slovenia E Thank you, Mark.
"Exactly as described" is the line we work hardest for, the route is set, but the day still flexes around the group, and it sounds like the options on offer landed well for everyone on board. We will pass your thanks to the guide, who will be pleased the history and lifestyle stories hit the mark as much as the sights did.

The weather was not good,...
David_C, October 2026
The weather was not good, but we still had a great time on this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and had some good humor. I forget his name but we did the tour on 10 September 2026. At the cave, it was raining harder than before, but we were under cover while waiting to go inside so not so bad. The cave was a great experience. I've been in other caves but this was the best by far. So many interesting formations and different geology in evidence. At the castle, the rain had let up so we enjoyed touring it and taking more photos. We've been in many castles, but I don't get tired of them if they have some interesting history or construction. Finally, at lake Bled the weather had eased once again so with only a light sprinkle, we went to the island and enjoyed the views. There was a regatta going on and it was fun to watch some of the races. One of the people that was on the boat with us had competed the day prior for Australia and finished 3rd.
The most disappointing thing about the weather was the it was so cloudy and foggy, the views while driving and at the stops were reduced to a short range so we didn't get to see the mountains or other sights. That happens sometimes and our guide couldn't do anything about it so still a great tour. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator · Slovenia E Thank you, David, and thank you for taking the weather in such good spirits 🙏🙏🙏
Slovenia under fog hides its mountains, there is no way around that, so we are glad the cave, the castle and the island still made the day, and that a regatta with an Olympic-level rower in your boat was thrown in for free. Your guide on 10 September was Jan, we will let him know. Perhaps a return visit with clear skies over Bled one day 😉
