Lined with amazing architecture and lively bars, cafes and restaurants, the banks of the Ljubljanica are the place to be. You can see Ljubljana from a different perspective by going on a tourist boat ride or paddle boarding or canoeing through the centre of town. A short stroll from the Old Town is the riverside public space called Špica. Located near Ljubljana’s botanical gardens, Špica is a lovely retreat from the hustle and bustle where you can do as the locals do: relax, have a coffee, and look at the river. Mind you, the Ljubljanica has also become a popular site for archaeologists, as it offers a milliard of lost historic pieces from the Stone Age to the Renaissance.

We had the most wonderful guide - Tine - we cannot recommend him highly enough. We were picked up near the train station in Venice at 9am promptly, and it was a smooth and beautiful drive into Slovenia. We had lunch at a delicious lake-side restaurant in Bled, then took a pletna over to Bled Island, where we had time to hike the trail around the perimeter and also do a complete tour of the beautiful little church and tower. Tine then whisked us to the other side of the lake for a tour of Bled Castle, the oldest in the country, which houses a small demonstration printing press and museum. In addition, our kids had seen the alpine slide at Straza Hill snaking down the mountain across the lake from the castle, and Tine fit it into the schedule as a surprise addition - such fun! He was so accommodating and kind. We were back in Venice for dinner just a little after 8. A fantastic introduction to Slovenia and we can't wait to return for a longer visit!

Nejc was our guide. He went out of his way to ensure we had an enjoyable day. Very knowledgeable guide. We visited Vintgar Gorge, Vogel by cable car, Triglaw NP, Savica Waterfall and Bohinj Lake where we also took a boat cruise. It was a fantastic day. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on the tour and we did everything at our own pace. Nejc, thank you for a wonderful day, it was a pleasure spending time with you and getting to know you.

We had such a great time at Lake Bled. My wife and I went on this tour from Koper with Marjana, who gave great insight into the area, plenty of time to experience all that Lake Bled had to offer, and great conversation. The tour started and ended on time as we had time constraints from our cruise ship, but we felt that the time was maximized to give us the best taste of Slovenia possible. Highly recommend!

We had great experiences with Day Trip Slovenia and an excellent guide Tine Verbic.
First, online booking and rescheduling was very pleasant with quick and prompt responses within a day or a few hours during the travel.
We booked two tours from Bled on two consecutive days and had Tine as our guide for both of th tours. We’ve had many private tour guides in the past. So far Tine is one of the best we’ve ever had. He is knowledgeable, tentative, pleasant, genuine, and the “mostnice” person to talk to. He helped us to make last minute schedule change with prompt communication with the company’s operator.
The castle and the cave are the places ‘a must’ to visit with fascinating legendary story and incredible natural beauty. We also spent a day hiking through Vintgar Gorge and Triglav National park. The scenery is breathtaking and unforgettable.
I highly recommend Tine to be your guide (ask him as your guide through your tour operator) and Day Trip Slovenia as a tour company to work with.

We had a fantastic day with our booked tour through the Slovenian countryside, followed by canyoning. Our guide was very informative and friendly! The communication beforehand went smoothly and we were picked up on time from Ljubljana. Everthing worked wonderfully and we felt safe during the canyoning tour thanks to our guide!

We booked 3 different day tours online with Day trips Slovenia from Perth, Western Australia. The service was second to none with Maruša who responded quickly with our queries. Our first tour was with our guide Erika who picked us up from Lake Bled and took us on a wonderful journey through the Julian Alps and the Soca Valley including the Ziplining. Our second tour was with Jan who took us to Mt Vogel on the cable car, Mostnica Gorge and the Savica waterfalls. The scenery in the Alps region was breathtaking and highly recommended - tranquil and stunning scenery. Our third tour was from Ljubljana with Matej who took us to Postojna caves and Predjama Castle. All of our tours are thoroughly recommended and using this company sees fabulous guides accompanying you. Our guides were personable, knowledgeable, relaxed, attentive and drove calmly and safely. We felt in exceptional hands at all times. We met Simona, the manager, at the offices in Ljubljana in order to thank her and the team personally. Great job Slovenia day tours! Thank you.

An excellent day out in the Julian Alps with Jure. We were 3 friends of mature age so Jure (a canyoning specialist) knew to take things a bit slower than usual. We walked the Vintgar gorge. Jure kindly met us at end and walked us back throuh the forest to the car park. Then we hiked up to and behind the Pericnik waterfall, an amazing experience. We travelled through beautiful valleys with the mountains close by around us and had a picnic at the head of the valley. Then a rather special experience at the Planica skijumping centre - amazing to see both children and adults training here. You can also practice x country skiing in an indoor facility. We were left back at our hotel having had a busy but fantastic day out.

In planning my family trip to Italy, I wanted to also see another country while we were there. When I noticed how close Slovenia is to Venice, I searched online for tour companies and saw that Day Trips Slovenia would pick me and my family up in Venice, drive us to Lake Bled, and then have us back in Venice in time for dinner. Between the drive to and from Lake Bled and the time we spent at Lake Bled, we were treated to an absolutely magical day, falling in love with Slovenia in the process.
My dealings with the Day Trips Slovenia staff as well as our driver were professional, thorough, and delightful. Everyone was more than willing to help and were passionate about introducing us to their wonderful country. As a result, we had an incredible day. If we ever return to Slovenia, I would definitely reach out to this company again for assistance.
If you're going to Italy and want the chance to see another country thoroughly in 1 day, this is the way to go !!!!

We booked an all day private tour to the Julian Alps from Ljubljana. Our guide Jure picked us up at our hotel. He was great, took us to all the sites we wanted to see, and very knowledgeable. He also took us around Ljubljana and showed us neighborhoods we would not have seen on our own. We did not want to drive ourselves as we wanted to enjoy the sites. Planning the day trip was easy with Simona. She was prompt, and professional. Highly recommended the company

My 2 yr-old son and I did both a regular day trip to lakes Bled and Bohinj, and personalized trips to some of the area's old forts. Each were well-timed, comfortable trips with other places of interest pointed out along the way. A highlight was our trip to Hrastovlje which was actually a last minute addition that the company help me plan. Follow-up was prompt and payment was easy. A great, convenient way to see the different amazing corners of Slovenia, with guides who have lots of local knowledge.

I booked five tours to see as much of Slovenia as possible. I arranged this with Jovan who couldn’t have been more helpful.
I explained my areas of interest and suggested some places I thought would be good to visit and he expanded on this with some great suggestions. I asked for a different guide for each tour and requested that the guide should also be the driver. These requests were met and excellent guides were provided.
All of the guides were highly knowledgeable, good communicators and excellent company. The guides were local to the tour areas and two of them travelled a considerable distance to pick me up in Ljubljana and then take me back. Their flexibility and eagerness to please was commendable.
I have no hesitation in whole heartedly recommending this company if you want to get the best out of your visit to Slovenia.

The day trip to the capital Ljubljana was awesome. Walking around the town center made me want to stay there for at least a few more days. The weather wasn’t that brilliant, but we saw all the main sites. The architecture, climate and landscape are so different from where I was staying on the coast. It's like visiting another country.

Me and my family were based in Bled for a holiday and heard a lot about Slovenia being famous for its caves, so we decided to take a day trip to Postojna. Oh, boy, what a surprise! I’ve been in caves before, but nothing like this. Stunning! I think I enjoyed the underground train ride as much as our kids, if not more! Plus, the guide was great – very patient and friendly. An absolutely fantastic trip!

Located in the Triglav National Park, the valley is famous for its beautiful lakes at high elevation, diverse alpine flora and fauna and absolutely stunning mountain views.
Slovenia’s capital is one of the smallest in Europe, but undeniably the most beautiful. This vibrant subalpine treasure has all the perks of a modern city and the laidback character of a small town.
Empress Maria Theresa wanted them to be white, so they bred them to make them so, but in fact the Lipizzaner horses are born brown or black & turn white later.
One of the largest squares in Ljubljana, the Congress Square is a popular venue for large outdoor events & has been the location of many important gatherings.
A 20-minute hike to the tip of Logar Valley will take you to the spring of the gorgeous Savinja River and the highest single drop waterfall in Slovenia – Rinka.
This small lake is a popular stop for locals and perfect for a short walk in nature. Its amazing mountain backdrop offers unbelievable panoramic views.
