This was our last trip in Slovenia and definitely worth it. Our guide Jan tailored the day for us. We enjoyed all the hiking and thought the Vršič pass was absolutely beautiful. We skipped trying the zip line to hike along the Soča river-definately worth it. The Soča valley was also very beautiful. It was a great last memory of Slovenia!
Our private tour of the Julian Alps was incredible -- our guide Tine was highly knowledgeable about the area and made our trip fun, educational, and enjoyable. Everything went very smoothly -- highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your lovely review and for your kind words about our guide 🥰
Soca is a must see! These were some of the best views I have seen in my life. Some guys from the group went for the zipline and they were thrilled. But even if you're not into adrenalin like myself, you will absolutely adore this gorgeous trip :)
Dear Max, thank you for your rating and for your kind words. We have both options active and leisure day trips and as you wrote they are perfect for everyone. We have many more options if you ever decide to visit us again 😉
This is a bit of a late review for me, but my experience was amazing with this agency. Our guide was really good and funny. Julian Alps and Soca valley were amazing. Particularly Triglav National Park since it was a long time dream of mine and even though the weather was very windy thanks to the guide's anecdotes, jokes and historical info, made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it.
Thank you very much indeed for your review and for your recommendation! Yes, we're really lucky because our staff is great 🥰 Moreover, like you say the trip highlights and landscapes are wonderful, so we have a good service to offer you all 😉 But we still have much more to show you so we hope to see you soon 😊 Best regards, Day Trips Slovenia team
