What people are saying about Slovene Littoral

Maja was very kind and friendly, and provided us with a lot of interesting information about Croatia and Slovenia and the history of this region. There were only 3 people enrolled for this tour, so we went in a regular car. We basically spent the entire trip chatting and Maja was always providing relevant information. The duration of the trip is just excellent because the time for visiting Ljubljana and Lake Bled is just enough. Both the city and the lake are wonderful. Totally recommend this trip with so friendly and professional guide!

The trip was so well organised, with a seamless transfer between the Ljubljana tour guide and the continuation onwards to Bled. I highly recommend this tour! The only thing is that we wish there was more free time to explore Ljubljana and Bled on our own, but given the time constraint I can understand why.

This really was a wonderful tour. Our tour guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Bojan, our main guide, was incredible. He really went in depth and gave wonderful insight into the history and culture. I would absolutely recommend booking this tour!

The trip was fabulous from start to finish. Goran is a warm and interesting guy and Angelika in Llubjana was also amazing. It was nice to have a few moments alone as well.

Everything was wonderful. Cool guide and great accompaniment! I recommend!
