Ljubljana Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

I had travelled with Explore many times in the past, and was always glad to go on another trip. This was my first one since 2017. The tour leader was really outstanding in every respect, being unfailingly cheerful and friendly, competent and energetic. The mostly fairly mature 15 group members were at least as likable, cheerful and co-operative as on any previous trip. The hectic itinerary packed a lot in. More trains next time!

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...

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.

This is a full on tour which covers a lot of ground, and seven countries, in a packed two weeks. It is a great opportunity to get an overview of the Balkans and cover a lot of ground. Recommended!

Very helpful enthusiastic leader who offered lots of alternatives that included her leadership on parts of the holiday that had nothing officially organised. We were lucky with the weather and good company of fellow travellers Strongly recommend Slovenia for its variety of beautiful scenery and amazing places of interest and friendly people EXPLORE’s choice of hotels was also very good

Tour leader Filip was excellent. Good command of English although not his native language. Knowledgable and always available to assist, with very good recommendations for places to eat. Would have liked more time in Dubrovnik and Kotor than allowed for in the itinerary. Overall a very good trip
