The bus will depart at 7am from Ljubljana or from an agreed place for groups. The journey begins with a drive towards Vrhnika and Logatec to the small town that brought word about Idrija lace to the world, and which represents an important part of Slovenian cultural heritage. The famous Idrija Lace School has been operating here continuously since 1876. We will visit the Renaissance castle, which in a way is unique among Slovenia’s numerous castles, as it is full of secrets and stories that it has been telling for 500 years. While taking a tour of the museum collection, you will listen to stories of the mine and the town of Idrija. You will also learn a lot about the hard everyday life of miners, whose lives were improved by the fact that their wives and daughters were able to produce snow-white Idrija lace in the shelter of their own homes, thus providing additional income.

Our journey continues onwards to the Soca river valley, where we will stop in the place where the emerald green river pauses briefly on its way from Trenta to the sea. The village of Most na Soči has a wealth of cultural and natural heritage, and its main attraction is the artificial accumulation lake, which maintains the same emerald green colour as the mysterious Soca river. We will take a stroll through the village then go for lunch at one of the local restaurants which specialises in preparing trout in numerous different ways.

A drive to Tolmin follows where you will settle into your overnight hotel accommodation and find out more about the Creative Camp programme. The itinerary includes: participation in the festival and overnight stay.

After breakfast you are free to visit the festival on your own, which combines various creative practices and experiences, of which music is the central focus. The boutique annual festival with its carefully selected multi-genre programme tries to satisfy the audience and create a refuge of creativity and diversity in a specific natural environment. It connects other types of creativity – film, multimedia, video, poetry, sculpture and performance, and creative workshops.

After the festival, we will return back to Ljubljana in the evening.

Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
To speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What is more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.

Is there parking close to the departure point?
There are usually public parking spaces in the vicinity of our departure city points. However, sometimes it can be hard to find parking, so we recommend using public transportation services whenever possible.

When should I get to the departure point?
Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can’t wait for you if you’re late.

You can ask us about the tours we recommend for younger children. And if your child is less than 1.5 m tall, you should let us know, so we can provide them with a suitable booster seat.

How much time do I get off the bus?
We want you to enjoy Slovenia. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the van and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.

Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.

Do we need to bring our own lunch?
You do not need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.

Should I tip the driver-guide?
Let us be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it is up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.

What about travel insurance?
Travel insurance is not included in the price. We advise you take out travel insurance.
