What people love about Croatia And Slovenia Tours
I’ve had the best two weeks on the Eastern European/Balkans tour with David. From initially booking with the company, I had a great help from Richard. He answered all my questions and eased my nerves as it was my first time backpacking as well as staying in hostels. They have honestly been brilliant and I haven’t been nervous at all. I felt very welcomed into the group when I started my tour and have loved the freedom to explore different countries. David has been great with organising activities and making sure the group is happy as well as giving advice on places to visit in your free time. He’s also great at picking out bars! The places that I’ve been have been amazing. After this trip, I’m sure to book another one soon as I’ve had the best time ever!
Budapest to Split Group Rail Tour (18-35)
Had a great time in Venice, Slovenia, and Croatia. My guides were excellent!

- Scenic Slovenia & Croatia
If you are at all confident in independent travel then you will probably find this tour a little frustrating. However, if you liked to be guided every step of the way then this tour is for you. You are essentially given a maximum of two hours (usually only 1) of free time at any destination and have someone in your ear at most other times. I also thought it was odd that the bus took scenic rather direct routes to some destinations which meant added time on the bus and less time at key points. This was especially frustrating when combined with getting stuck at borders. The whole tour could do with a day or two added to allow for fulll value. Don't get suckered by the '8 Day tour' label, as it really is only 6 with start and end accommodation. Having said that, the places visited were amazing and our tour leader was fantastic. I was also impressed by the quality of accommodation and included meals (full breakfasts!!).

Our routes through Croatia and Slovenia mix coastal highlights with less-visited inland spots. You'll get proper time in Venice to explore the canals before heading to Postojna Cave - the electric train ride through massive limestone chambers is a favorite with our guests. At Lake Bled, local boatmen row traditional wooden pletnas to the tiny island where St. Mary's Church sits quietly above the water. The journey continues through medieval Motovun where you can join experienced truffle hunters and their dogs searching the old forests. Most tours finish in Dubrovnik, but not before exploring Plitvice Lakes where wooden boardwalks lead you between crystal-clear pools connected by waterfalls.
Select from our extensive range of 97 fully guided tours to enjoy a worry-free experience through Croatia and Slovenia with our expert guides leading the way.
These cultural journeys through Croatia and Slovenia weave together popular highlights with quiet corners that reveal authentic daily life. Beginning in Budapest's creative Jewish quarter, travelers dive into the city's heritage before moving to Slovenia, where expert local guides share stories at Lake Bled's island church and Ljubljana's baroque architecture. In Croatia, the experience becomes hands-on with activities like hunting for truffles alongside specialists and their dogs near the medieval town of Motovun, plus village cooking workshops in Zrnovo, where home cooks pass down the art of making traditional makaruni pasta. Wine lovers enjoy intimate tastings at family-run estates in Slovenia's Goriška Hills, sampling Rebula varieties and exploring historic cellars across Istria. Our tour guests often mention how well these trips balance structured activities, such as exploring Split's Diocletian's Palace or Zagreb's urban art, with plenty of independent time to find hidden cafes and local spots. Small groups make genuine community connections possible, from joining oyster farmers along Lim Bay to watching traditional pletna boat crafting at Lake Bled. While many tours conclude in Dubrovnik, the journey first winds through wooden walkways at Plitvice Lakes and visits coastal settlements where Venetian buildings speak of rich maritime traditions.

Top Croatia and Slovenia travel itineraries to fit your plans
Week-long tours through Croatia and Slovenia hit all the right spots. We start in Zagreb where you'll explore the Upper Town churches before heading to Ljubljana - the open-air market and Triple Bridge are real highlights here. Lake Bled comes next, and taking those traditional pletna boats out to the island church is something our travelers talk about long after they're home. The route then takes you underground through Postojna Cave before emerging to discover Split's Roman sites and finally Dubrovnik's medieval walls. For something different, we've got a driving tour from Munich that puts you behind the wheel of a Porsche through the Alps. You'll tackle 36 hairpin turns on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road and then cruise down Croatia's most scenic 60km coastal route to the Adriatic.

Our 10-day trips really let you settle into each place properly. One route kicks off in Venice with a morning on the water to St. Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge before heading to Slovenia's lovely coast. In Piran, you'll get lost in the Venetian streets around Tartini Square before moving on to Croatian Istria. The wine tasting at family vineyards is excellent, and our customers love joining local experts and their dogs hunting for truffles in the forests near Motovun. After that, you'll explore Plitvice Lakes on wooden walkways and end up in Dubrovnik where you can really get to know the old town. There's also a popular reverse route from Dubrovnik to Venice that includes extra time for swimming at Lokrum island and a nice hike out to Sunj Beach on Lopud.

Two weeks gives you time to really experience the Balkans properly.

You'll ride the electric train through Postojna Cave, wander through Diocletian's Palace in Split and walk the full circuit of Dubrovnik's walls. What makes these longer trips special is Montenegro and Albania - there's King Nikola's museum in Cetinje, the incredible bay at UNESCO-listed Kotor and finally Tirana where you'll find Soviet buildings right next to Ottoman mosques. Our travelers really value how these tours mix guided activities with free time, plus you get both historic cities and natural sites like Plitvice Lakes.

Best time to visit Croatia and Slovenia

Spring travel through Croatia and Slovenia offers incredible seasonal experiences, with wildflowers dotting the hillsides and ideal temperatures for exploration. Our routes begin in Venice, where you'll start your day with gondola rides and fresh seafood before heading to Slovenia's Postojna Cave. The electric train journey through limestone chambers gives you a fascinating underground perspective that our travelers love. At Lake Bled, the spring timing adds something special - you'll take traditional pletna boats to the island church while snow-capped Julian Alps create the perfect backdrop. Moving through Croatian Istria, spring brings prime conditions for truffle hunting near medieval Motovun, wine sampling at family vineyards and also local cuisine tastings. We take you through Zagreb's vibrant open-air markets, full of spring produce, and to Plitvice Lakes National Park, where wooden walkways wind between waterfalls at peak flow from winter melt. Our customers particularly value the mix of guided activities and independent time to explore places like Split's Diocletian's Palace or take sunset sailing trips from Dubrovnik around the Elafiti Islands, all made better by the comfortable spring temperatures.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
These autumn tours across Croatia and Slovenia blend cultural experiences with quieter visits to major sites. Several routes start from Budapest, where travelers explore the historic Jewish Quarter before continuing to Slovenia's wine country. The timing works perfectly in Goriška Hills, as you'll taste excellent Rebula and Sauvignon whites while watching local vintners bring in the harvest. Fall brings a special magic to Motovun, when truffle hunting season peaks - our guests love heading into misty forests with expert guides and their dogs, followed by warming meals featuring fresh truffles. Along the coast you'll discover Rovinj and Piran, where local artists showcase their work in historic buildings, and you can sample fresh shellfish in Lim Bay. Tours typically wrap up in Split with time to discover Diocletian's Palace, when cooler weather makes walking tours far more enjoyable. The lakes at Bled and Plitvice put on a spectacular show of autumn colors mirrored in clear waters, and our travelers often tell us how the soft seasonal light creates exceptional photo opportunities.

Should I stick to one country or see both Croatia and Slovenia?
You'll get totally different experiences in both countries and they're actually perfect to combine. Slovenia's got this amazing alpine scenery with Lake Bled and fantastic hiking in the Julian Alps while Croatia gives you that stunning Adriatic coastline amazing islands and incredible places like Dubrovnik. Since they're pretty close together you can easily experience both countries' unique landscapes and cultures in one trip.
What local food should I definitely try?
You've got to try soparnik in Croatia it's this amazing savory pastry filled with silverbeet onions and parsley that you'll find around Split. There's also kotlovina a really hearty meat stew they cook in traditional cauldrons.

If you're really into food the Slovenia & Croatia Real Food Adventure takes you truffle hunting in Motovun Forest and lets you try some of the world's best oysters fresh from Ston.
Where can I find amazing places that aren't so touristy?
Slovenia's Postojna Cave system is incredible you actually explore it by train and see these amazing formations. In Croatia head to the Peljesac peninsula instead of the busy islands it's perfect for wine tasting especially their local Plavac Mali. Lots of TourRadar travelers love how peaceful these spots are while still feeling really authentic. And if you're into castles you've got to check out Slovenia's Otočec Castle it's the region's only water castle and you can see it on the Private - Balkan & Adriatic tour.
How do I get around and cross borders easily?
You've got lots of options for getting around. Trains connect the major spots like Zagreb Ljubljana and Split while renting a car gives you freedom to explore the coast and countryside just check the border crossing rules first. If you're heading to Croatian islands like Hvar or Brac you'll need to hop on ferries and buses are great for smaller towns and villages really affordable too.
