The 3 Best Self-Guided Tours in Slovenia

1.Self-Guided E-Bike Tour to Vintgar Gorge

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 90 reviews · from $58Our pick

Set out from central Bled on a Swiss-made Scott e-bike, using local route advice to reach Vintgar Gorge. Your fixed-entry ticket covers the one-way gorge walk, which takes about 2 to 3 hours and includes stairs and demanding sections. Return by bike using a shorter or longer route, with time permitting.

“We had the best time using the e-bikes and visiting the gorge. The bikes are new, well maintained and the shop owner is so helpful and gives detailed directions. We even had some extra time and rode around the whole lake! Only thing we didn’t know until the day was how long the walk back from the end of the gorge is to where we dropped the bikes.

2.Vintgar Gorge Best Experience with Tasting (Self guided)

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 14 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $60

Start in Bled with a transfer to Vintgar Gorge, then follow the 1.6-kilometer wooden walkway past rapids, pools, bridges, and Šum Waterfall. This self-guided outing gives you time to explore independently before a tasting of three štruklji flavors and two Slovenian craft beers at Natour Bar. Expect a moderate walk and a small group of up to 12.

“We had a really great time at the Vintgar Gorge and this tour made it so simple. The company was very good with communicating when the gorge was closed. There was a lot of rain the original morning we had booked, they quickly let us know the park would be closed and were able to move our tour to the following day so we were able to enjoy all the beauty the gorge had to offer. The tasting was a nice way to end and the dumplings were delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour for your trip to Slovenia.”
