An excellent short trip visiting some of the highlights of amazing Slovenia. A busy week starting with cosmopolitan Ljubljana with its castle, dragons, graffiti and green spaces, then off to 3 nights in Bohunj via beautiful Lake Bled. Alpine lakes, mountain mist, countless steps to a waterfall through beech forest, walking in the rain up a gorge, and cable car to the top of Mt Vogel...lots of steps and kms. Then something totally different, with a visit to coastal Izola and a day trip to the Adriatic gem called Piran...finished off with a visit to a castle in a cave and the huge Skocjan cave system, both unique places. Throughout the tour we were incredibly well looked after by the tireless Claire who made sure that we took away great memories of the European treasure which is sLOVEnia! I'll be back...

I cannot recommend this trip enough, full of gorgeous sights, fantastic food, waterfalls, gorges. The most picturesque trip I have ever done, it was like a fairytale. The guide was amazing and seemed to know absolutely everyone in the villages and was more than happy to share his knowledge and help us organize other activities outside the trip to make it all super easy for us. The Art Kristal Hotel was an amazing place to stay with lovely meals. The chocolate and wine tastings were well worth experiencing with incredible selections and knowledgeable hosts.

This was our first trip to Europe and we wanted to see as much as possible. The itinerary was busy and a lot of ground was covered, but we knew that up front and would not of been able to see so much on our own. We did all the optional extras which added so much more depth to the trip. You could chose not to do the optional extras if you wanted some down time. We paid for the optional extras on about day 3 or 4. Our Tour Director Brent was so experienced, pleasant and fun. He tweaked the itinerary to make the most of our time in each destination. We skipped the line at so many sights which was excellent. Yes we had early starts and lots of walking but you make the most of each and every day. Majority of the days were breakfast and bags out by 6.30/7 and on the bus by 7.30/8. There were some long bus days. We made restroom stops every 2 - 3 hours. The seats were rotated daily. The 2 Night stays are better and I think the itinerary may be changing slightly for 2026 to include an extra 2 night stay. We got to see so much of Europe, every day was so fantastic and so special. We ticked off so many sights. Breakfast included every morning was good and all accommodation was of a good standard. Some rooms did not have tea/coffee facilities so take your own kettle and cup and tea/coffee if you cant wait until breakfast. TD, Brent would advise on places to eat and places to do laundry which we did twice on the trip. He was a wealth of knowledge of history and highlights of each region.

Beautiful country. The tour has a good balance of time in cities, the mountains and a long the coast. There is plenty of time to select your own activities during the day after some group activities and orientation.

Michael gave us the best experience he could have. Paris was not my favorite only because I got sick on the trip. We had so many magical experiences. Thank you to the driver Dirk .He handled the coach wonderfully and many spots had hairpin turns. The extra tour up the mountain in Laverne is well worth it , I encourage everyone to do this, the river cruises were great and the German castles along the river banks were stunning.
