Soča Valley Tour & Kranjska Gora Valley Tour

We picked the Soča Valley tour and Kranjska Gora Valley tour which is a 10 hour day covering stunning areas of Slovenia. We are a family party of four adults and then four other people made up the group of eight. We had the most wonderful trip this week with our driver, Jožef from ‘To Do in Slovenia’. He was very friendly and a good driver, we felt very safe in his capable hands. He had great knowledge of the areas we visited and kept us entertained with stories and information about Slovenian history, industry, traditions, culture, legends, war history and much more, all with a great sense of humour. He was happy to answer all our questions. It was a very hot day but the transport was air conditioned and the tour was paced well with comfort, refreshment and lunch stops spread between visiting all the stops on the tour. Jožef offered us extra water when needed and nothing was too much trouble. The places we visited were some of the most beautiful we have seen, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Alongside visiting the stunning river valleys you visit the Kozjac waterfall. You need good soles on your trainers or hiking shoes. I myself have dodgy knees, but I was able to do all the walking and it is easily accessible with a hiking pole if you need it. There is the opportunity of swimming in the river of the Soča valley alongside the Slovenians who have a wonderful time on hot days relaxing in the cool waters. So bring your ‘cozzie’. For us it was a lovely way to cool down, some of my family had a swim, I dipped my feet in and it was refreshing and good fun. The tour includes the treat of travelling the Vrśič Pass with its 50 hairpin bends. Thanks to our great driver no one was ill, but do bear in mind to take your travel sickness tablets or travel bands if you are a little uneasy about that. Even in this, the tour gives you a break or two just in case you need it, stopping at views of majestic mountains with a legend attached and the beautiful yet thought provoking sight of the Russian church. Before heading back to Ljubljana, you get to visit the beautiful lake Jasna. I cannot praise this tour enough, there’s lots to see so be prepared to hop out the minivan regularly, spend a bit of time to take in the views and pop back in the transport ready for the next delight. This is a must do trip if you want to get to see the beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers that Slovenia has to share.

What a great tour guide. He was a young man, only 21 years old but very welcoming, informative and a wonderful driver. This trip involves a lot of travelling and some very rural roads up the mountain pass. Loved getting out of the city and definitely worth seeing

This excursion is highly recommended, especially if you are only going to visit the city. During one day you will see some of the best places in Slovenian nature. Our guide was fantastic, with a very funny sense of humor, and she showed us everything that was scheduled and more.

It’s beautiful but high paced. We went to a lot of places, it was amazing to see. But i personally would prefer more time to really take it all in.

Amazing stops and the guide was amazing and knew lots! The sights were stunning and I learnt a lot I wanted to ask about.

Very enjoyable tour even though it was 10hrs it passed really quick. All stops were the correct time.

Very nice day! Beautiful sights, that looked just like the pictures. Many stops, but still a perfect mix of driving and stopping for views etc. Mario was an excellent guide – very friendly and considerate! Knowledgeable and patient with questions throughout the day. The first (short) stop was after about 1,5 hours. Stunning views and an option to buy coffee or icecream. There was an hour break for lunch in a small town. Plenty of options for lunch and getting things at the super market etc. The initial part of the ride can be challenging for the carsick. Bring a sick bag and take some anti car sickness pills to be on the safe side. Ride in the front! Option to swim/dip your feet in a cold, but beautiful stream and a lake. Change into swimwear then or wear underneath your clothing.

What a great tour, incredible views and locations, very knowledgeable guide and overall great atmosphere. Vasco was a great guide, really caring, talkative and fun. Also he has great vocals! Really enjoyed this tour and I could not recommend it more! Greeting from Lithuania!

Beautiful views, great story telling along the way. Refreshing water for a paddle. 'Hike' is a loose term. More of a walk with vigor. Sun protection recommended. Bring lunch if you're fussy, but time given to purchase and heat. Water needed. 13 people on the bus but crowds at the attractions. We had poor weather over the mountain pass but it added a different vibe. Would recommend.

This experience exceeded expectations! Beyond the experience the guide was spectacular in the explanations he gave and in the motivation and integration of the different members of the group! Thank you Clemente for so much positive energy and fun stories that will stay in everyone’s memory!
