HIGHLIGHTS
Most people spend far too much time in front of the TV and computer, on their phones or in their cars. Although we are aware that this isn’t a healthy lifestyle, it can be very difficult to find the time and energy to change. We may try to live a healthy life, but in doing so we forget the lack of nature – fresh air, lakes, rivers, streams, mountains, hills, oceans, forests, meadows … Therefore, we invite you to join us for a wonderful nature trip.
Itinerary
The bus will depart at 7am (min 9 people, max 18 people) from Ljubljana or from an agreed place for groups. The journey begins with a drive towards Radovljica and on to Bled. We won’t visit Bled’s main tourist attractions, but we will go to one of the most beautiful vantage points from where there is a beautiful view of Lake Bled and its surroundings. After a short walk around the lake, we will stop for coffee, and enjoy a sweet treat in the form of Bled’s most famous Bled dessert before continuing our journey.
The journey continues with a drive through the Upper Sava Valley, which is known for its many ethnographic gems. It was also described several times by Sir Humphry Davy, an Englishman who spread the word about the beauties of the valley. We will visit the Slovenian Alpine Museum, which is a unique centre of Slovenia’s Alpine and mountaineering world, and take a walk through the permanent exhibition with its inspiring concept titled ‘The path is a story, the story is the path’.
Nearby, beneath one of Slovenia’s most attractive mountains, there are two beautiful waterfalls that we simply must visit along the way. We will visit them on foot then on the way back we will stop at a mountain pasture, where we will be served an excellent and well-deserved lunch.
After lunch we will get back on board the bus to travel to our final stop, which is located in the northern part of Triglav National Park and touches the overgrown forest of Mt. Vitranc. The area was declared a nature reserve in 1992 as it offers a home to many endangered animal and plant species. We will have a short break then go for a coffee in the centre of the Upper Sava Valley, where adventures practically never end. Our last stop before returning home will be at one of the most beautiful lakes in the Upper Sava valley, where one can rest one’s body and mind and organise your thoughts before heading home.

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.
What happens if I’m late or miss the tour?
If you’re late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies.
What are your cancellation policies?
We have a cancellation period of 14 days for our one-day tours, and 21 days for longer tours. If cancelled outside this period, we will give you a full refund minus a 10% admin charge or 25€ (what is more). If you cancel inside this period, refunds are at our discretion.

What is a guaranteed departure?
Departure is guaranteed only if minimum number of participants stated next to each tour is reached. In case of cancellation of your booked tour, we will notify you at least 21 days before departure. In this case, you are entitled to a full refund.
Can I pre-book a specific seat?
Due to logistical reasons, we are unable to let you pre-book a seat. But our comfortable 9-seat vans have large windows. So, you will always get a good view.
Are there toilets on the vans?
Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you will have regular comfort breaks.
How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
We aim to accommodate everyone. In case of special needs please click here to contact us.
Do you take children on your tours?
We regret we do not carry children under the age of 6 on our scheduled tours. Children up to 5,99 years are allowed only on a la carte tours.
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.
