Ljubljana Art and architecture Trips

Slovenia is a relatively-unknown jewel of Central Europe and this trip is effectively an excellent “highlights” tour, covering the beautiful capital city, the stunning Alpine region and the relaxing Adriatic coast. Lake Bohinj was probably the top spot and the walk up to the Savica waterfall. For any birdwatchers, make sure to visit the Skocjanski Zatok nature reserve in Koper, which is a 20-minute taxi ride from Izola (I did that on the free day in Izola - Friday - and also booked a guided tour, in advance, by emailing info@skojanski-zatok.org). There are both freshwater reedbeds and brackish, tidal mud-flats. Highlights - a Little Bittern plus nesting Black-winged Stilts and Pygmy Cormorants !

A lovely trip to some beautiful places, and a well thought-out itinerary. On our tour the optional walk in the Triglav National Park, and the trip to Piran were well worth doing.

A very varied trip combining the lakes and mountains of the Julian Alps, the Slovenian coastal area and the capital, Ljubljana. We enjoyed the different activities on offer - hiking, sightseeing, swimming. Slovenia is a beautiful country and this tour incorporated the very best of it.

Excellent trip. Itinerary was well thought out with a lot of variety without too many changes of accommodation. Our tour guide, Clare, was exceptional, putting lots of thought and care into every day including the optional days. Waiting for a over an hour for a local bus at Lake Bled in the cold and wet was the only bit that I'd criticise. Surely it must be worth Explore keeping the original private bus for an extra 4 hours to avoid giving such a bad impression. Slovenia is such a beautiful country. Highly recommend going.

Well thought out and paced tour. Only criticism transport from Lake Bled to Lake Bohinj. Local bus did not turn up on time leading to standing in the cold and rain for over an hour. Would have been better if bus from Ljubljana had waited for the 4 hours we were there. Spoilt the day!

Great itinerary taking in the beautiful mountains and lakes of Slovenia, with the caves another highlight. Ljubljana is a delightful city, with a lovely relaxed riverside atmosphere. The trip includes quite a bit of free time to do your own thing. Our guide was friendly and efficient, though not from Slovenia so lacked some local knowledge. Overall, a very enjoyable trip.
