Summary

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your central Ljubljana hotel or other meeting point. After a brief introduction with your guide and fellow travelers, settle in to your comfortable minivan and set off for the journey to your first point of interest. Admire the views from your window as you travel into Slovenia’s green hillsides. First up: Lake Bled, an emerald lake surrounded by dramatic mountains. After a brief stroll, board an apletna (a Slovenian wooden boat) and journey to the tiny island in the center of the lake—Solvenian’s only island. Explore the island as your guide reveals its fascinating and quirky history, while pausing for photos along the way. After, it’s a quick drive to the Vintgar Gorge, a must see. This stunning canyon is known for its grand walls that rise 330 feet (100 meters) into the sky. Nearby you’ll discover Šum, a beautiful waterfall that drops 85 feet (26 meters). Enjoy lunch on your own (additional expense) before heading to Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest glacial lake. Take advantage of free time to rent a canoe (own expense) or to swim in the lake’s cerulean waters. Before the tour winds to a close, stop at the town of Škofja Loka, which has a fairytale castle and the oldest bridge in Central Europe. Take some time to explore the quaint town and take some photos as the sun begins to set. You tour ends back at the starting point.

About operator:

Personal approach, flexibility and professionalism have made top rated tour specialist based on guests’ reviews. From small groups in our vans exploring Slovenia above and beyond, we have come a long way. The small groups stayed, but the variety of tours and experiences outgrew our best hopes and expectations. And so there came more groups, more tours, more excitement, bigger challenges! With dedication and hard work we have turned our services into unique travel experiences and succeeded in achieving the largest market share in the Slovene incoming tourism business for individual travelers. Like back in the good old days, we still feel extremely privileged not to say honored, to be able to share such a beautiful piece of Earth, Slovenia and its neighboring area, with the rest of the world.
