Från Bled/Ljubljana: Triglav nationalpark och Soča Valley Tour

We attended the tour with our very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Matija. He was flexible with the itinerary, and also entertaining. It’s a long day, so bring snacks! However, we loved seeing all the different sights, it’s a great mix of activities. We would strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Slovenia. Thankyou Matija!!

Absolutely incredible experience! This day trip was easily one of the highlights of my time in Slovenia. The scenery was breathtaking from start to finish, with incredible mountain views and beautiful stops along the way. Our guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire day so enjoyable. It was such a memorable way to experience the beauty of the Slovenian Alps!

We stayed in Ljubljana and originally booked kayaking on the Soca River with no plans of how to get to the valley. Once in Slovenia, we quickly realized the country doesn’t have the extensive public transit we were used to in other European countries. We cancelled out kayaking and found this tour instead. The draw was that it provided transportation to all the places we wanted to go AND at lunch we still got to raft in the Soca Valley (STRONGLY RECOMMEND). Bring a lunch if you plan to do one of the extra activities because you won’t have time to stop otherwise. Our tour guide (Primus) was passionate about the area and knew much of the culture and Slovenian history. The sights he took us to were amazing and definitely not navigable one your own (especially through the mountains- you need advanced driving experience on narrow roads with hairpin turns). Lastly, he dropped our group off closer to our accommodations instead of the regular drop off site. He rocked! 11/10 experience and well worth it.

I'm glad we did this trip even though it was showery that day - unfortunately even in August, the weather isn't reliable! The mountains were mostly covered in clouds so we didn't get the best views, but it was still scenic. I was worried the Vrsic Pass might be scary but it was fine - wide roads and no steep drops! The trip is run by Altitude Activities. The stops are well-timed so you don't feel you are spending as long in the bus as you actually. They were all fairly quick stops - 30-40 mins max apart from the lunch break, but that's probably a necessity to get round the route and it was a good itinerary. We had 80 mins in Bovec for lunch. When you sign up, you get asked if you want to add on rafting or ziplining in Bovec, and nobody in our group doing those so we didn't need to wait the 3 hours there fortunately - there's not much to do there. There's a coffee break after the waterfall and you can get cakes at the cafe if you want to have breakfast there. It'd have been nice to have had a restaurant recommendation in Bovec that had indoor seating rather than wandering around and choosing somewhere fairly randomly. Our guide was new to the job that summer, was very nice and perhaps most importantly felt like a safe and sensible driver. The guiding was fairly 'light' - if you hired a car and followed a similar route and e.g. used the notes in the Rick Steves guidebook, I don't think you would miss out. I would say that the main reason to take the trip is to not have to hire a car and drive yourself. I would do your best to go on a non-cloudy day, but that might be easier said than done booking in advance!

We chose the pick up from our hotel which was very convenient. Milan was a brilliant guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and created a good atmosphere for the eight people on the tour.

Just got back from the Triglav National Park trip with the lovely Peter. He was punctual and professional, an exceptional driver, shared lots of interesting facts about the places we visited, and helped make the day really special! It's hard to believe any other trip in Slovenia can trump the magical places we got to experience today...so thank you to Peter and the team. Highly recommended!

A truly UNIQUE experience! ❤️😍! I loved it, I highly recommend you do it; I visited incredible places with the group and the guide Metka, she was super attentive throughout the entire excursion, very kind, and an excellent guide! All the tourist spots and the time at each one were respected. The places are amazing; I never imagined I would live such a beautiful experience as this! It is very much worth experiencing; I went alone and ended up making incredible friendships with people from India, Germany, Uruguay, and Slovenia. Thanks for everything! With love, Maria Paula 🇦🇷❤️🙏🏼✨

Of all the experiences I have had in Slovenia, it is the best and most complete. Our guide was exceptional, attentive, and very pleasant (Matija Zlate). Dreamy landscapes and an unforgettable experience. Thank you from the heart.

What an amazing trip to see the beauty of Slovenia Aljaz Was an incredible host , teaching us the history and kept us well informed as well as taking us to extra places , this trip was the highlight of mine and my partners holiday and we are so glad we booked this last minute

This itinerary is brilliant BUT the organisation of this company is not. We were told to be ready at 6:55 but were not picked up until one hour later because the driver told us she'd been given the wrong pick up notes. We then stopped in Bled for a driver change. Due to the late pick ups in the morning, this meant we were late for our rafting activity and made it just as they were leaving. The company had not properly informed the rafting people we were coming and tried to charge us twice. We had no time for lunch as, if you choose to do the rafting or zip line, this takes place during the time designated for lunch so we had no lunch and very very hungry by the end of the day! At Lake Jasna, we had another driver change. This driver took us to Bled where they stopped for another half an hour. The tour is advertised as finishing around 6:30pm but we were in Bled waiting for another driver at close to 9pm. The driver got in and told us they had been sorting the trips for the next day in the office. We then told her it's very late and we hadn't had lunch to which she replied well, I'm ok I got a sandwich this afternoon (she wasn't with us in the afternoon, it was the previous driver). When we were finally dropped off, a member of this company went on to the Instagram account to complain about the guests they had had that day. When conversing with the member of the company about the lack of lunch and the late timings, we were very polite and respectful but did offer it as feedback for future tours. I feel highly disappointed that this was then portrayed as something completely different on social media channels as the staff were very accepting and apologetic to our faces. The itinerary of this tour is great but the service was an extreme let down.
