Of the many sights and experiences one can find in Slovenia, we’ve curated the very best into a selection that will turn your weeklong fling into a lifelong romance.

From the picturesque half-island city of Novo Mesto and the neighboring Otočec Castle, famous for its exquisite weddings to the capital of Ljubljana with its cobbled streets and corner shops, your camera will be full - but that’s just the start.

We will not miss the magic of the world-famous Postojna Cave with its rock-set castle, nor the seaside cities of Portorož and Piran, where you can often see Slovenia’s who’s who, strolling leisurely on the dreamy beaches. A trip to Slovenia has to include a stop at the fairy-tale Lake Bled, the most famous and most popular attraction.

And to top it all off, we will explore the Goriška Brda wine region, “Slovenia’s Tuscany”, where you will be able to open dusted bottles and taste wines, fit for true connoisseurs.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu.

Yes! Our holidays are designed to give you some free time every day to relax and spend it the way you want to. It is your holiday after all! For any advice and suggestions you can always turn to your tour leader or our back office, who will be more than happy to help you out.

Our field tour guide, Emil Kos, made all the difference in this trip, with his smart adjustments, recommendations, logistics, etc., to the original itinerary. And his patience in waiting for everyone in the group to catch up, and assistance wherever and whenever a strong steadying hand is needed. We visited Ljubljana, Bohinj, Piran, and many places in between.

Slovenia is absolutely a gorgeous country! We couldn’t have planned a better trip without the help of this amazing travel company, Slovenia Luxury Holidays! Ava planned an absolutely perfect holiday for 4 of us traveling together for 2 weeks. From the beautiful places we stayed in and to all of the things we got to experience (hiking, biking, hot air balloon, white water rafting wine and cheese tasting. Each part of the trip was unforgettable. The attention to detail made the difference, feeling well taken care of throughout our trip which allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend Slovenia Luxury Holidays.

I can't say enough good things about my trip! From the start, everything was smooth. Our agent arranged private tours of Ljubljana and Piran, both beautiful cities. Our guide Ivana was engaging and made it all the more enjoyable. This trip gave us memories we'll cherish forever
