What people love about Slovenia Tours
This was a fantastic trip! I booked Stunning Slovenia, which went to all the best places of Slovenia and included trips east of Ljubljana, which I was interested in seeing. I wanted to see the whole country, hahah! Communication was fantastic, the itinerary was sent and easy to follow, my airport transfers were always perfectly on time, and guides were fantastic. The walking tour of Ljubljana was a great intro and easy on the first day and I was left with tons of time to do things on my own. The highlight of my tour was actually my guide, Dejan, he was just the best. We had rain in the beginning and the next day it was clear so he took me back to a beautiful overlook and wine garden to take pictures again, and really went above and beyond to show me the gorgeous highlights of such a stunning place. Thank you D!!!
Stunning Slovenia
Everything is organised quite well, you get a hotel booked in each town and they transfer your luggage after you check out from each of them. You also get a dinner and a breakfast in each of the hotels but one(the one in Trenta - they have no restaurant). There was a tiny mix up with one of the hotels - where the name of the hotel we were informed about was different from what the travel voucher said, but Marco(who we communicate with via tourradar) helped us to find the correct one, even though our contact specified in the travel vouched was not picking up his phone. Perhaps because it was quite late - around 8pm, because in the mornings there was no issues reaching him. Also, if you don't feel like walking the whole distance you can ask them to transfer you half way or something like that, which we did on the 3rd day cause we were quite tired. But be sure to think about this in advance, before you take the trip. Overall - would recommend: hotels are good, nature is beautiful, the trails are not too difficult if you have some hiking experience. Just be sure to pack enough water because there is absolutely no water fountains along the trails, which we found weird, but I suppose you can drink directly from Soča river as it seemed super clean.
Slovenia Hiking: Alpe Adria Trail 5days- self guided
- Slovenia - Multiactivity Week in Soca Valley
Our accomodations at Hotel Jazbec was beautiful and very clean, the food every night was amazing and lots of it. Everyone involved with the daily adventure was friendly and personable. They helped us adjust itineraries for my 88-year-old father so he could participate and made changes when we wanted to do other things. Every activity was incredibly fun. We felt like we were dealing with friends instead of a business!
Most popular destinations in Slovenia
The Alps truly mix up different experiences, from relaxing train rides through Switzerland's mountain passes to active outdoor sports in Slovenia's valleys. Our customers love combining the GoldenPass and Glacier Express routes, where guides share local stories and point out interesting features as the landscapes roll by. The Soca Valley has turned into quite a hotspot for those wanting some real action - you can go rafting through rapids and canyoning down gorges, with nice comfortable hotels waiting at day's end. If you head to the Mediterranean side, you can blend coastal walks in the Italian Riviera with time exploring Nice, Monaco and also Barcelona. We've noticed many travelers wish they had more time around Lake Como and Venice when doing Swiss-Italian tours, but they do appreciate how the trips balance mountain views with cultural stops. Summer visitors generally find June through August best for hiking, while September's quieter trails and soft light make photographers happy. For winter sports, December through March sees the slopes at their best, and our travelers often mention how mountain villages feel extra special under a blanket of snow.

Travel Slovenia your way
Slovenia's Julian Alps offer some seriously good multi-day treks where you can combine proper hiking with nights in mountain huts. Many of our travelers start at Lake Bled before heading into Triglav National Park - the trails take you across alpine meadows and if you're up for it, you can attempt Mt. Triglav which sits at 2,864m. The hut-to-hut route from Pokljuka plateau to the Soča Valley is particularly good for experienced hikers; you'll get different views of the limestone peaks and mountain lakes each day. We've got another excellent trek that begins in Kranjska Gora and works its way through the Tamar Valley up to Vršič Pass. Our clients often tell us they love finding old WWI sites along these paths. If you prefer taking it easier, the Lake Bohinj area has lovely forest walks with mountain backdrops and plenty of spots to cool off in clear alpine lakes.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursSlovenia offers great cycling for all levels with routes that really showcase the country. The Julian Alps are a favorite - our clients love pedaling along riverside paths with mountains all around. Some routes start from Lake Bled and wind through forests before climbing into alpine territory, while others follow the gorgeous green Soča River. Wine enthusiasts who are strong cyclists can take on the more challenging roads through Brda's vineyards with plenty of tasting stops. One of our customers, 62 years old, recently told us the hybrid bikes worked perfectly for regular cyclists and we've got e-bikes too if you want a boost. Most trips run 6-8 days and include stops at the Škocjan Caves, Lipica's horses and medieval Piran to mix things up.
See all Bicycle toursOur most popular routes through Slovenia start in Ljubljana before heading east to explore some really special places. You'll spend time in the Štajerska region where you can walk up among the trees in Rogla and try local wines in Maribor's cellars. The journey takes you through Prekmurje which is fantastic for food lovers - they make amazing pumpkin seed oil here. Our travelers often tell us how much they enjoy visiting Slovenia's oldest town Ptuj and soaking in the thermal waters at Rogaška Slatina. These tours typically run 7-8 days which gives you proper time to understand what makes each region tick.

Top operators in Slovenia
From what our travelers tell us, Intrepid really nails their Slovenia cycling tours. Their guides Davor and Tomi get lots of praise - they know the routes inside out and take good care of everyone on the road. The picture is a bit different with Palma DMC & To's "Stunning Slovenia" tour. While guides like Dejan and Ziga are clearly knowledgeable and the itinerary covers all the right spots, there are some practical issues that need work. The lack of porters has been tough for some groups, and seniors in particular found it challenging when their luggage had to be managed without help. The small van they use isn't ideal for larger groups and also caused some frustration. What's clear though is that Slovenia itself is a real gem. Our customers consistently tell us how much they love the warm welcome they get from locals, plus you get such variety - from mountain trails and lake views to charming old towns and coastal spots. It's still relatively quiet compared to some other European destinations, which adds to its appeal. The tour company you choose really makes a difference here - if you're looking at cycling specifically, Intrepid has proven they know what they're doing. Their support system and guide expertise help you focus on enjoying the ride rather than worrying about logistics.

"Communication could have been a lot better. For instance our tour group was advised that a meet and greet session was to take place on the day before the tour started. It did not happen and there was no notification. The tour minivan was much too small for 8 people. We were all aged 70s and 80s and squashed into a small van, 3 to a seat. It was also difficult for some of us to negotiate a tight squeeze to get into the van. Those of us in the back seat could not hear anything the guide was saying which is the whole point of doing a tour and gaining information on what you are seeing. The guide should have had microphone equipment. The places we visited were fabulous and well thought out for a good tour of Slovenia. The guide was first class and we could not fault him. He was well organised, very helpful and flexible and well knowledged on the areas we visited. Highly enthusiastic. He was the best guide I have ever met or heard on a tour.

"I loved my experience. The people I met were so kind and inclusive of everyone and we had so much fun every day. I loved that you could do your own thing in each city or have the option to do activities as a group. The freedom g adventures provides allows you to get what you want out of your trip instead of being stuck to a strict schedule of activities you may not want to do. I definitely plan to do another trip in thefuture!

"The tour is absolutely spectacular from start to finish. The organisation and communication with the hosts was smooth, the welcome meeting and detailed briefing was in person, which came to me as a big, but very positive surprise.. All instructions were very clear and we got to use the navigation app as well as the actual physical map. As first timers taking part in a self guided tour, to set our minds at ease we connected with the host via WhatsApp and we remained in contact with him for all our questions and concerns. Luckily, we did not have many. The hiking area is breathtaking, the route is not too easy, but a nice challenge for someone who likes to hike and is reasonably fit. The views and the surroundings of every step are unforgettable and I would gladly recommend it to everyone!

Best places to start your Slovenia tour
Ljubljana works perfectly as the main jumping-off point for Slovenia trips, with 37 of our travelers starting there. Bled, right by the lake, is our second busiest departure spot with 24 starts, and Kranjska Gora welcomes 11 groups from its position at the Alps' doorstep. We've found that booking about 7 weeks ahead works well - our statistics show most people book around 48 days before travel, which helps them get the dates and places they want, especially in summer. The food scene really stands out to our clients, who love how Alpine and Mediterranean flavors come together in local dishes. They often mention the farm-fresh restaurants and small family wineries that make Slovenia's food culture so special. If you're looking for nice weather but fewer tourists, May and September hit that sweet spot - perfect timing to explore both the capital city and quiet mountain paths.
Discover Slovenia tours for every budget
When you're keeping an eye on costs while exploring Slovenia, our self-guided bike tours through the Julian Alps make good sense. You'll spend 5-7 days cycling from Kranjska Gora, past the Russian Chapel on Vršič road and down to where the Soča River bubbles up in Trenta. The route takes you through fascinating WWI sites at Kolovrat mountain before winding up in the wine country of Goriška Brda. Each day covers 48-60km with steady climbs - nothing too intense if you're a regular cyclist with decent fitness. If hiking's more your style, try the 3-day self-guided Mount Triglav climb starting at Lake Bohinj. You'll head through Voje Valley and spend nights in mountain huts eating local dishes. For water lovers, our Soča Valley weekend packs rafting, canyoning and kayaking into three active days, using simple lodging to keep prices down.
Our high-end tours blend outdoor activities with top-tier comfort and local flavors. The 10-day comfort circuit kicks off in Ljubljana where you'll walk the colorful streets with a private guide before taking the funicular up to the medieval castle. We've picked excellent hotels as you explore Slovenia's diverse regions - you'll cycle through Vipava Valley vineyards and learn cheese-making in the Alps. Over in eastern Slovenia, you can walk among treetops in Rogla's forest and enjoy private wine tastings in the beautiful Jeruzalem area. Many guests love taking breaks at the Rogaška Slatina thermal spa between cultural stops. The "Alps to Sea" journey connects mountain activities with coastal relaxation, featuring door-to-door transfers and carefully chosen hotels throughout.

Who are you traveling with?
Group
39 tours in SloveniaOur small-group Slovenia tours blend active travel with local culture, taking 7-12 travelers from Ljubljana into the Julian Alps together. The hiking and cycling combinations get excellent feedback from our guests, who often mention the natural friendships formed during mountain hut stays and shared time in the Soča Valley. A particularly popular route takes groups eastward to discover Maribor's heritage sites, Ptuj's medieval character and also the wine regions. The Kobarid programs have proven especially successful, with guides adapting activities from rafting to canyoning for each group's comfort level - they even welcomed an 88-year-old participant on a recent tour. Groups start in Ljubljana exploring the food markets with local experts, before continuing to Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, where shared experiences like traditional pletna boat rides and hands-on cheese-making create lasting connections. We've found that balancing scheduled activities with free time helps group dynamics evolve naturally, while maintaining professional guidance throughout the journey.
Small Group
58 tours in SloveniaSlovenia's small-group tours blend active exploration with cultural experiences, and our travelers consistently praise this balanced approach. The cycling routes through the Julian Alps take you from Bled's peaceful lakeside paths into mountain landscapes, where support vehicles handle challenging sections like the Vršič Pass with its 50 hairpin turns. Our guests in their 60s tell us the hybrid bikes suit casual cyclists perfectly, while e-bikes provide that extra power when needed. The Lake Bohinj tours mix hiking to Savica Waterfall with rafting on class II-III rapids and optional activities like canyoning. Moving from Ljubljana to Piran, groups visit hilltop castles, explore the capital's old streets, taste wines in Goriška Brda and take dips in the Adriatic. Local guides Davor and Tomi earn high marks from travelers, adapting the pace whether you're ascending Mount Triglav or cycling along the emerald Soča River's gentle paths. Tours typically span 6-8 days, combining comfortable hotel stays with authentic touches like mountain hut overnights and local cuisine tastings.
Private / Personalized
35 tours in SloveniaFor one-on-one guidance, our Julian Alps treks offer great hiking with personal attention. These 6-7 day tours get consistently good feedback - one client told us having personalized navigation help and WhatsApp contact with guides made them feel extra confident on the trails. You'll explore Triglav National Park's finest sections, with the choice to summit Mount Triglav or stick to gentler valley paths based on what suits you. The private cycling tours let you adjust daily rides between 20-60km while discovering Slovenia's varied terrain. Hikers especially appreciate having private transfers between areas and being able to set their own pace each day.

Slovenia works really well for solo travelers, offering a nice balance of group activities and free time to explore. Our multi-day trips through the Julian Alps include guided segments but build in plenty of personal discovery time. People traveling alone tell us they love starting in Ljubljana - you get oriented with a walking tour, then have afternoons to wander. The Lake Bohinj tours are especially popular since you can join group hikes or head off for a solo paddle. With small groups of 7-12 people, our active tours combining cycling and hiking create natural opportunities to make friends while keeping your independence.
Couples find Slovenia perfect for creating shared memories while keeping the romance alive. Many choose routes staying at Lake Bled's lakeside hotels, combining cozy evenings with daytime rides up to Julian Alps viewpoints. The Goriška Brda wine region tours let you cycle between vineyards and enjoy private tastings together. Active mornings hiking Vintgar Gorge or cycling along the Soča River lead into relaxed afternoons exploring old towns or joining cooking classes. Adding time in Piran with its Venetian squares, harbors and nearby salt pans gives couples that perfect mix of mountains and Mediterranean charm.
Young adults come to Slovenia ready for real outdoor challenges. Our Julian Alps treks involve serious hut-to-hut hiking with chances to summit Mount Triglav for those up for it. The Soča River valley delivers proper adventures combining white water rafting with deep canyon descents. Cyclists can choose anything from easy Lake Bled loops to tackling the 50 hairpin turns climbing Vršič Pass. Many pick routes mixing these physical challenges with stops at WWI sites along the Walk of Peace trail and end their active days sampling wines at local vineyards.
Our senior travelers appreciate how we've designed tours matching different activity levels. Many start with easy walks through Ljubljana's historic center before heading to Lakes Bled and Bohinj. They often mention loving our comfortable hotels and guides who adjust the walking pace just right. Wine country routes include scenic drives with short walks between tastings, and we always handle luggage transfers between stops. While some seniors tackle full day hikes when the terrain works, others enjoy the coastal section around Piran and Izola with its level paths, sea views and plenty of cafe stops.
Our family tours through Slovenia mix learning with plenty of fun stops that keep everyone engaged. Starting in Ljubljana, kids get excited about the dragon bridges and riding the castle funicular. At Lake Bled, taking a wooden pletna boat to the island church is always a highlight. The Postojna Cave train journey lets families rest while seeing impressive limestone formations, and the Lipica stud farm's white horses capture everyone's imagination. Over in Piran, the beaches provide a perfect break with ice cream stops nearby. Guides make the experience special by sharing stories about cave salamanders and medieval castle tales that kids remember long after the trip.

When spring arrives, the hiking really comes into its own as flowers pop up across the alpine meadows. Lake Bohinj makes an ideal base for daily walks, including routes to the impressive Savica Waterfall and through Mostnica Gorge. Our travelers say May hits the perfect balance - good hiking weather but quieter trails. Many routes mix walking with cultural stops in medieval towns like Skofja Loka and scenic train rides through the springtime countryside. The Alpe Adria Trail sections work particularly well in spring, with clear markers guiding you from Kranjska Gora through valleys full of flowers and into traditional villages.

Summer opens up all outdoor options, and our most popular tours mix different activities each day. You can cycle from Ljubljana through wine regions and along the Soca River, finding plenty of swimming spots along the way. Hiking hits full swing, ranging from easy valley walks to proper summit climbs up Mount Triglav. Our guests really enjoy the variety - maybe hiking in the morning then kayaking on Lake Bohinj or tasting wines in Brda later on. Summer's perfect for adding some coast to your mountain trip too, with routes ending in Piran where you can swim in the Adriatic and explore the old Venetian streets.

Autumn brings perfect weather for both cycling and hiking across Slovenia. The Julian Alps trails quiet down but stay accessible, while the Brda wine region buzzes with grape harvest activity. September and October trips are particularly good - our customers love combining Lake Bled hikes with visits to local wineries. Several routes take advantage of autumn's clear light for photos, especially in the Soca Valley where fall colors pop against the green river. Cultural tours work really well in autumn too, mixing visits to Predjama Castle and Postojna Cave with seasonal food experiences in village communities.

Slovenia's winter opens up some excellent snowshoeing possibilities through the Julian Alps. Our clients tell us they love how these snowy walks hit the sweet spot between good exercise and taking in the mountain views. You'll walk across snow-covered plateaus to reach cozy mountain huts and learn to spot wildlife tracks in Kocevje's forests. The overnight stays up on Komna plateau are quite special - nothing beats the quiet of a mountain refuge above the snowline. Some tours mix things up with stops at Ljubljana's Christmas markets and local wine cellars before heading up into the mountains. If you're interested in culture too, winter tours often combine visits to Bled Castle with snowshoe walks around the frozen lake and trips to the Škocjan Caves, which stay at steady temperatures all year.
