Vintnar gorge hike

It made getting to and from this lovely gorge walk very easy. The tasting at the end was delicious. I enjoyed getting to try a variety of dumplings. Note: the gorge hike was easy hiking, but the climb to the bar at then was fairly steep

This is WAY better than going to Gorge on your own. The pick up was prompt and the bus driver was super nice. Pick up location was super easy to find.

The pick up location is...

The pick up location is just down from the bus terminal across the street from a cafe. The walk through the gorge is beautiful and relatively flat but at the end you need to go up dozens and dozens of stairs. Very steep. But worth it. The beer and sweets at the end was a nice treat on a very hot day.

Wonderful

Best way to see Vintgar Gorge! It was very convenient to be dropped off at the entrance. The walk through the Gorge was stunning. After going through the Gorge we did another short hike to the meeting point, which is a cafe with tastings. Lovely day

It would be so much cheaper to do this on your own.

This is not a tour by any stretch of the meaning ‘self- guided’ or not. They book an entrance ticket for you and arrange a ride to and from the gorge. This also includes sampling of local food at the end. The entrance ticket to the gorge is 15 EUR and the food at the end is worth no more than 10 EUR. The bus service from town center to the gorge is free. If you want them make those arrangements for you for the premium, this ‘tour’ could be for you. Otherwise, you could save a lot of money by doing this on your own.

Magical trip

Beautiful scenic walk through Vintgar Gorge followed by a lovely taster of local beers and dumplings in a gorgeous setting. The tour was well organised and very relaxed, with friendly staff, the scenery is stunning and not to be missed. Would do the trip again in a heartbeat. A must when visiting Lake Bled

The walk in nature is beautiful; the tasting includes only eight small Slovenian dumplings. We had to pay extra to complete our meal.
