The van was comfortable and Taya was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Slovenia.
Thank you, Nancy. So glad it was a beautiful day out, and that the comfortable van and our guiding team made it relaxed and friendly. We'd love to welcome you back to Slovenia. 😊
Thomaš did a great job of tailoring the experience to our interests. We had quite a range of interests in our group and he made sure to discuss bits of Slovenian culture and history relevant to each of us. He was also able to be flexible about time spent at each location and dropped us off close to our hostel. He was kind, knowledgeable, and funny. We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you, this is wonderful to read. Tailoring the day to a group with such a range of interests is exactly what our guides do best, and we are glad it felt flexible and personal, right down to the drop-off. We would love to welcome you back to Slovenia.
Beautiful views! Very professional guide and driver with lots of information! I highly recommend the experience!
Everything was spectacular! Our guide was very kind and attentive, and we were more than satisfied with his work. Definitely highly recommended.
Excellent service: Marusa in the office who booked 4 of our tours to our guide Matej. Matej customized the tour to what we wanted. It was an awesome tour. Can't ask for anything more.
We booked the Soca river tour with Slovenian explorer for two of us on April 15th 2019. We had extra request to pick us up from Bled and drop us at Ljubljana which was welcomed by the team. They respond to emails quite regularly and also were on time for pick up and drop. Luckily, we were the only ones for the day, so it was quite like a private tour! Yaay! (Cookie points for not cancelling the tour). Our guides Santa and Mathan (definitely not the correct spelling) were knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great time listening to the history of Slovenia. They even took us to few additional stop points on the way. Their enthusiasm and interest until the end of the tour is highly appreciated! The driving route looks magical- Julian alps and Soca river are mindblowing! Thanks for a wonderful day! :)
