Good full-day tours fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Small-group Triglav National Park day tour from Ljubljana with Peričnik, Zelenci, Soča Valley, Lake Jasna, plus optional Soča rafting.
“This tour was worth it! We made lots of stops and saw places that would've otherwise been difficult to get to. Enej was a great host, lots of energy and full of interesting information.”
Small-group Ljubljana day trip to Škocjan UNESCO Caves and Piran, with Socerb Castle views, guided cave walk, and free time on the coast.
“We really enjoyed the day trip! Our guide was Tomaš, and he gave many insightful information along the way. He even took us to Lipica farm because we had some additional time, where we could see the famous Lipizzan horses. On the way, he drove us through Triëst (Italy), giving information on everything we saw and making the trip really special, feeling like its own event and not just transport to the next location. The van was nice, clean and had airconditioning. Tomaš knew a lot and can answer every question, which made for great conversation, also giving many helpful tips. The only down side to the day trip is…”
Ljubljana day trip to Lake Bled, the Julian Alps, Triglav National Park valleys, Lake Jasna, and Zelenci. Small group, big scenery.
“My mum and I had a lovely day! Nina was a very responsible driver and gave a lot of information about country, history, culture, people, food etc. . We felt very satisfied with this tour and can recommend it to everyone who wants to shortly dive into Slovenia's beautiful nature and culture.”
A small-group day trip from Ljubljana to UNESCO Škocjan Caves and Piran, with guided underground river scenery and Venetian seaside streets.
“Great day out. The caves were amazing especially the river running through them. Although there were three parties going through the caves at the same time, it felt peaceful. Our tour guide for the day was full of interesting facts about Slovenia, and also was keen to go by the back roads so that we saw more of the culture.”
See Lipica Stud Farm and Slovenia’s sea town Piran in one day, with Lipizzaner horses plus Venetian streets and Adriatic views.
“Fantastic day - Lucas, our guide, was very inclusive for everyone. He shared many great stories & facts, with genuine passion for this beautiful country. At each site Lucas ensured we each saw what were interested in, given bespoke recommendations & checked in afterwards. Highly recommend Lucas & this day trip from Ljubljana.”
UNESCO Skocjan Caves, Lipica Lipizzaners, Teran wine and prosciutto, then Piran’s medieval streets and Predjama Castle. Small-group day.
“Jan was a very good guide. The trip is a great way to see a lot of Slovenia.”
Rent a quad in Bled with a guide, helmets and gloves included, plus route help for forest trails and mountain views.
“We would definitely recommend this experience. We rented a quad for a day and were able to visit some beautiful places. Thanks to the tips from the very friendly employee, we were able to drive along some nice and challenging routes. Worth it when in Slovenia!”
Full-day tour from Koper to Ljubljana Old Town and Lake Bled, with pickup, a driver-guide, and time for photos and kremšnita.
“Would really say 4, but the guide (Dean) was excellent, so I kept it at 5. I wish we had 15 more minutes in Lake Bled to be able to visit either the castle or the church, but they pad the time based on ship departure and traffic. Additionally, the parking was terrible in Ljubljana, so we missed out on the walking tour. Dean gave a quick description because he didn’t want to waste our time driving around, and told us to take pictures of anything we wanted more information on.”
Kayak 95 meters underground in a Slovenian mine from Bled. Headlights, dry suits, and a miner snack in an 8-hour small group.
“Great day out and very different to any other caving experience I've had before. On the drive to the cave our guide stopped at several locations to show us views and points of interest which made the experience more engaging.”
