Slovenia Solo Tours for Single Travelers

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!

Walking in Slovenia was my first trip with Explore and it did not disappoint. Slovenia is such a beautiful country and I feel the itinerary allowed us to see as much of it as we could in the 7 days. Our tour leader, Edoardo, was excellent. He shared he extensive knowledge of the area and its history. He had a good sense of humour and ensured we were always safe. He adapted the trip according to the weather as required. The pace of the tour was very good. The distances that we walked/hiked each day were very reasonable. The accommodation was top notch and we were treated very well by the staff at Hotel Kristal.

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.

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!
