From Bled/Ljubljana: Triglav National Park & Soča Valley Tour





Description
Most day tours from Bled cover one or two stops. This route covers seven and does it in a small group of no more than 8 people, with a local expert guide who knows every story behind every place you visit. In a single day you'll walk behind a real waterfall at Peričnik, see the impossibly emerald springs of Zelenci, cross the border into Italy to visit the hidden glacier lake at Lake Predil, walk the gorge of the famous Soča River, stand on Slovenia's highest mountain pass at Vršič, and finish at the crystal-clear Lake Jasna near Kranjska Gora. The route runs through Triglav National Park and the Soča Valley, Slovenia's most spectacular landscapes, on roads that would be stressful to drive yourself. You sit back in an air-conditioned minivan while your guide handles the hairpin turns and fills the journey with stories of the Julian Alps. No big coach. No rushed stops. No generic commentary. Just eight travelers, one expert guide, and seven wonders of the Alps in a day.

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.
I did the Triglav National Park and Soča Valley tour and it was absolutely fantastic! It was a small group in a small vehicle, which made the experience feel much more personal and allowed us to get to so many different spots throughout the day. There was such a great variety of stops — waterfalls, a lake for swimming, a gorge, wetlands, incredible mountain views, and so much more. The tour is also flexible, so you can add activities like zip-lining or white-water rafting if you’re looking for a little more adventure. One of the best parts is being able to see so much of the park without having to worry about driving or navigating. Alex is incredibly familiar with the area and was so knowledgeable about the park’s history, culture, legends and myths. She brought every place we visited to life with her stories and insights. Alex was amazing, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Her knowledge, stories and genuine passion for the outdoors made an already beautiful day absolutely spectacular. I would highly recommend this tour!
Excellent tour driving around the national park and surrounding areas. We really surprised by how much we fit in into one day. Our tour guide Urska was brilliant, she had amazing knowledge of all the areas, as well as the countries history, we were also very impressed with her parking skills!
An amazing day seeing the most beautiful scenery. Our Tour Guide Milan was exceptional! His knowledge was oustanding as was his ability to manoeuvre some tricky hair pin bends. His brilliant sense of humour made him the perfect guide! This tour is a must if you want to see beautiful Slovenia, with the option of extra activities and dips in some very cold lakes & rivers. Walking behind a waterfall was definitely a hightlight. The trip also includes seeing a slice of Italy! (PS Don't forget your passports for this trip!) Definitely recommend! If you're going to do one trip when visiting Slovenia, then book this trip!
It is a trip you could do by car, but you wouldn't know so many places, nor would you see so many landscapes, nor would you learn so many things, you wouldn't meet such interesting people. In other words, this excursion seemed wonderful to me. The person largely responsible for this was our guide, Verónika, who in addition to being an excellent driver, told us details, curiosities, legends, and places in a great way. Her energy is contagious. We enjoyed those 12 hours very much, which felt short to us. I would repeat it in winter, everything must be beautiful. And on top of that, with the zipline, it turned out to be a perfect day.
100/100! Highly recommended! Our driver-cum-guide, Alex, was absolutely superb! She is very knowledgeable, experienced, caring, friendly, and most importantly, an excellent driver. I learned so much about Slovenia and many other interesting things that I had never heard before through Alex’s sharing throughout the trip. The itinerary was very well planned, and we never felt rushed at all. The company staff were also friendly and helpful. A special thanks to Una, who kindly transferred us back to Ljubljana. This is definitely worth the money, especially if you don’t have a car to drive around Slovenia. You get to see so many beautiful places and different scenery that would be difficult to reach by public transport. 100/100 — definitely a must-book activity if you want to explore Slovenia!
It is truly a magical activity to do during your stay in Slovenia! We were accompanied by Milan, who was so, so pleasant, I thank him again 100 times. The experience is clearly worth the cost, if not more! :)
This was a great tour and our guide Tomaz was so friendly and informative. Definitely recommend! The national park was stunning.
This tour was well worth it, the Soča Valley is beautiful amd the sites we stopped at were breath taking. We had Tomaz as our guide, he was very positive, knowledgeable, and fun. We got a flat tyre on the mountain pass in the middle of a summer thunder storm, and he handled the situation incredibly professionally and made us feel at ease. It made for a later return but we ended up having a very nice dinner with him by Jansa lake! Tomaz really is 10/10
