The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. 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.

Our activities included in the tour are appropriate both for absolute first-timers to people with experience. For most of the activities included in the itinerary, you need to be moderately fit, meaning that you are able to hike up a slope for about 30 minutes and know how to swim for the water activities. In case you are unsure about any of the activities, feel free to ask us anything and we will help you out.

Not at all. We make sure that beginners and first-timers feel comfortable and safe. Our experienced guides and partners will make sure you understand what you need to do and will always make sure you have all the information you need, the right gear and the right word of encouragement.

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. When you are visiting caves, please remember that the caves are cold in the summer, as the cave temperature is constant throughout the year.

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 at for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

If you want to, sure! We are well aware that some people love to stay in groups while others prefer some more alone time on their trip. We wanted to give you the opportunity to do things your way. It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!

My husband, son and I had a wonderful 8 days in Slovenia. We like trying new adventures even at the age of 74. We went canyoning for the first time and loved it. Our guide was very patient with us. The other activities we did were zip lining, white water rafting, hiking in 2 fabulous gorges, going through a cave and bear watching. We had Sanda take us to all of these places. On the way she also told us about the history of the places we were driving through. All of the hotels we stayed at were amazing. The most luxurious one was the castle in Otocec. Don’t miss going to Bled. It has a beautiful lake that we walked around. We also walked up to a castle there. There are so many good things I could say but I’ll stop here. Slovenia luxury holidays was a great company for us. Thanks

Highly recommended ! From the very beginning, Ava and her team were incredibly attentive and tailored the entire itinerary to our preferences. They recommended stunning locations in Slovenia, from the breathtaking Lake Bled to the charming streets of Ljubljana. Their insider knowledge ensured we visited hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. The level of service we received was top-notch. Every detail was meticulously planned. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing the history and culture of Slovenia, making our experience even more enriching. One of the highlights was the personalized recommendations for local restaurants and activities. We enjoyed amazing meals at cozy, off-the-beaten-path eateries that showcased Slovenia’s culinary delights. Their suggestions for activities, such as wine tasting in the beautiful countryside, river rafting and exploring picturesque coastal towns, were spot on. Thanks Ava!!

I would like to thank Ava and Slovenia Luxury Tours for the meticulous planning that made our trip to Slovenia so memorable. My husband and I have been lucky enough to travel to many, many places in our 56 years together, and we both agree that our trip to Slovenia ranks as one of our all-time favorites. We thought all the hotels were very well chosen. We especially liked AS with its central location, its lovely terrace, its responsive and helpful staff, and its excellent breakfast. The wonderful nearby bakery and the free electric city car service only added to our delight. Thanks to Ava and Slovenia Luxury Holidays, we got the culinary tour of Slovenia we dreamed of. We slept, ate, and drank extremely well - and probably gained ten pounds in nine days, We absolutely loved Strelec (absolute perfection in every category: the cauliflower is to die for), Linhart (all the rich flavors of Slovenia without any of the heft), and Gric (the best duck I've ever eaten in my life, not to mention the goat colostrum dessert)). We found Bled Castle restaurant too touristy (although the view from the terrace while we enjoyed a glass of wine was spectacular). The world renowned Hisa Franko was everything we expected it to be and more, but maybe a tad too precious and over-refined for our own personal taste. For us, the highlights of tour trip were 1) our visit to Postojna Cave (Spectacular! Awesome! Mind-blowing! It was wet and dark and he uneven pavement was difficult for me to navigate, but it was more than worth the effort!) 2) our visit to Predjama Castle (what a architectural feat - building a castle into the side of a mountain!) 3) our car trip through the Alps with scenic stops to view the scenic overlooks, the memorials, and the beautiful and startlingly blue Soca River 4) our walking tour of the "old city" sections of various Slovenian cities and the central market in Ljubljana and 5) our table conversation with Chef Uroš Štefelinat at Linhart 6) our conversation with the youngest of five brothers (an expectant father-to-be) at the family owned winery in Goriska Brda, and 7) all the new wines we got to taste! Our tour guide/driver, Ivana, was beyond superlative. Even though she is a fit mountain climber herself, she was solicitous of our infirmities and patient with our slowness. She answered every question we had - regardless of topic - with charm, candor, passion, intelligence, and deep knowledge - imparting both context and color to everything we saw. She truly made all the difference between a good trip and a great trip. Not only did she tell us many entertaining stories, but her soulful reading of the very stirring poem "A Toast" by France Prešeren touched our hearts and connected us to the Slovenian struggle for sovereignty, We have ordered the three books she recommended (Necropolis by Boris Pahor, And Love Itself and I Saw Her that Night by Drago Jancar) and are anxious to them to arrive so that we can start reading. I unreservedly recommend anyone planning a trip to Slovenia to contact Ava and Ivana ASAP.

Hemos disfrutado dos semanas inolvidables en Eslovenia. El motivo: la belleza del lugar y la impecable organización del viaje por parte de Ava, quien ha estado atenta en todo momento a nuestras necesidades. Las rutas sugeridas, los hoteles, las reservas, todo ha funcionado a la perfección y sin contratiempos. Nuestro viaje se iniciaba una semana después de las inundaciones y Ava nos sugirió con la suficiente antelación planes alternativos. Además, dado que nos gusta improvisar en nuestros viajes y llevábamos coche, Ava nos aconsejaba y contestaba en todo momento sin importar la hora, a cualquier cuestión que se nos ocurriera. Es una tranquilidad tener a alguien como Ava en un país extranjero. Mi conclusión: un servicio de primera calidad y de total confianza en un país inolvidable.

What a gem in a crown!!! We were booked to go on a luxury cruise of the lifetime for 2 weeks in July, which was CANCELLED a mere week before departure!! In panic we started to look for an adequate replacement. Baring in mind this was at the top of the season, and with so little time to spare we were not holding very high hopes. Then I thought of Slovenia, as this little hidden gem has always been in the back of my mind, and I was always curious to visit, just not as the top of my list. I profoundly apologise for that ignorance and complacency. We found the agency via Google, filled the questionnaire and arranged a video appointment next day. Ava was right from the start very amiable, professional and with excellent knowledge of English. She was taken little a back by the urgency of our situation, but not stirred. From the moment I explained what we were after she took the charge and delivered!! This was not an easy task to say the least, but I felt I could completely trust her with doing her utmost to make this "second best" holiday memorable for us. This assay would be very long if I was to detail the lengths she went into to accommodate us. Slovenia turned out to be one of the most amazing places we have ever visited, organised every step of the way, with a plethora of activities for 12 nights by this wonderful agency!! Nothing was trouble!!! We stayed in three locations to maximise the experience, the accommodation was beautiful, service impeccable, stunning locations, AMAZING food and wine, great flexibility, and all the while, Ava was holding our hands leading us gently through every day. She was ALWAYS available, NEVER rattled by our demands and VERY helpful, knowledgeable and pleasure to talk to. I could go on, and on about this experience till the cows come home!!! The saying "Every cloud has a silver lining " was never more pertinent than in this case. We're completely in love with Slovenia thanks to Ava and her amazing team!!! We will be back!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Hemos pasado 5 días estupendos en Eslovenia organizados por Ava / Slovenia Luxury Holidays. Desde el principio fue todo fácil y superprofesional. Desde la preparación, con mimo y flexibilidad de opciones para adaptarse a nuestros deseos, hasta pequeños detalles como la app de Trip plans, que ayudó mucho durante la estancia (detalles, ubicaciones y vouchers en un único lugar). El país es increíble y lleno de lugares mágicos que creo que disfrutamos más gracias al buen criterio de Ava en la elección y el orden de descubrirlos. El guía que nos acompañó en algún trayecto (Urban) super profesional, certificado y con gran nivel de idioma. Recomendaríamos sin dudar Slovenia Luxury Holidays a cualquiera que quiera conocer este gran país.

We have just returned from the most incredible holiday in Slovenia. We chose Luxury Leisure style, as we wanted to experience the best the country has to offer. We first reached out through a questionnaire, and have had a call scheduled later on. Ava was so helpful and responded quickly to us. She prepared some itinerary options and we chose one, trusting her with all the restaurant and hotel recommendations. They were all just perfect. We were very happy with our guides for different city tours, they were all local certified guides, professional, with excellent English. The activities Ava and the team picked were really top-notch and they happily modified some of them to our wishes. We had a spectacular time in Slovenia and would recommend Slovenia Luxury Holidays to friends and family.

We booked our holiday with Slovenia Luxury Holidays over the summer of 2022. We chose Adventure travel style (although we were intrigued to go Gourmet, it turned out you could mix and match!) To start out, we had a couple calls with Ava where she helped us choose an itinerary that was right for us and agree on the details. She always acknowledged all of our wishes, and also gave us some amazing suggestions (we just ADORED our hotel in Kranjska Gora!) She also made sure everything was taken care of along the way, so our whole vacation went very smoothly. Unlike some other tours we've been on in Europe, there was no hassle or confusion for us whatsoever. We went paragliding with views of Lake Bled, truffle hunting, and rafting on what seemed like the most beautiful river ever (Soča!), and of course we went on some unforgettable hikes. We combined all of that with magnificent local restaurants (some of them Michelin-starred) and wine tastings. The guides were all very professional and the staff at our accommodations were just marvelous. Thanks to Slovenia Luxury Holidays, we got to discover a country we didn’t know at all. It was an incredible experience full of friendly people, thrilling activities, amazing food, surrounded by nature one can only dream of! We can't wait to tell our friends and go visit Slovenia again!
