If you like the great outdoors then this is a lovely tour. It was raining badly the day I went, but this did not take away from the experience. All I would say is make sure your jacket is totally waterproof and not just showerproof!”

Our first stop was the beautiful Peričnik Waterfall, where our guide hiked along with us. She was absolutely amazing — very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She explained everything clearly and gave us plenty of time to explore and enjoy each stop. It was such a memorable experience, and we’re really glad we had her as our guide!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 110 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $168

The route includes Vintgar Gorge, Pericnik Waterfall, Zelenci, Lake Jasna, Kranjska Gora, Pokljuka, and Lake Bohinj. Hotel pickup, park fees, water, and minivan transport are included, but lunch is your responsibility.

“Excellent tour. Fits in a lot of key sites that are well worth seeing. Well organised tour, and Tadej the guide was friendly, informative, and willing to answer questions. Do follow the guidance information about what to wear due to the terrain and possible weather, and what to expect e.g. some twisting routes so take precautions if you get travel sickness. The tour involves some walking up inclines/steps but is broken up by breaks travelling between places. A really good way to see a number of sites in a day with local knowledge. We then used this to decide on somewhere to go back to for longer on another day.…”

For us the highlight was the car-train through the mountains, as well as jumping in the Soca river (it was very cold!) and climbing to the source of the river too. We wouldn’t have been able to see the sites outside of Bled without this trip. Our guide was fantastic too. Would absolutely recommend - there’s a lot of miles covered but a lot of stops along the way!”
