★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 584 reviews · 9h 30m · from $115

Leave Ljubljana at 8:00 AM for a full day through the Soča Valley and Julian Alps.

English-speaking guides such as Maja, Luca, Tibor, and Alen add local history and humor along the way.

“Alen provided so much historical and geological context to all the stops. I say geological because we were in river valleys and mountains. He gave great suggestions at our lunch stop. I'm never one to participate in guided tours but man this was the best day ever. It really gave me a sense of a huge area outside of the city which is totally accessible from the city. Thank you!
