Ava and her team did an excellent job planning our 12 day group trip to Slovenia. Everything was very well coordinated. We had excellent tour guides and bus driver and all the selected restaurants, hotels and activities were great! I highly recommend her services. Thank you Ava!!

We had the pleasure to be attended by Slovenia Luxury Holidays and Ava for 2 weeks, the group was 30+ and the attention succeded any expectations we could have. Thanks for making our experience one to remember forever!

We just had a 12 day luxury group trip to Slovenia, and it was amazing! Great job, great service, great advise from the very knowledgeable Slovenia Luxury Team! Thank you 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!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Great company, who helped a wonderful hike of Lake Bled. Ava and the guide were amazing! Definitely recommend using this company.

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 had an incredible trip. From beginning to end, Slovenia Luxury Holidays delivered. We were looked after very well, and the whole team was making sure we are having the time of our lives. From the moment of our first inquiry to the bookings itself they were nothing but efficient and helpful, any changes or follow up were timely and accurate. The diversity and pristine nature of the country was just marvellous, our holidays in Slovenia surely count as one of the best experiences of our lives.

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!

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.

Such an amazing experience! The whole week of our trip was amazing. First, Slovenia is just mind-blowingly beautiful and all our accommodations were top-notch. Secondly, it’s the Slovenia Luxury Holidays team. They made the trip completely custom to our needs, stress-free and easy. I would surely come back in a heartbeat!
