We absolutely loved our 10-day vacation to Slovenia. Nikola and team did a fantastic job of arranging our trip - from suggesting an itinerary to recommending activities and arranging accommodations - they really set us up for an easy, stress-free vacation.

Hotel Reviews
Veldes B&B
Bled

Very charming little B&B that was a short walk from town. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable and the included breakfast was fresh and plentiful. They had bikes to rent at a very reasonable price, though we just walked everywhere. Would definitely stay here again.

Location
It was in a quiet part of town that was a short walk to restaurants and the town center, but our room offered a lovely view of the Alps

Hotel Gredič
Dobrovo v Brdih

Lovely little hotel nestled among the grapevines of the Goriska Brda wine region. So close to so many wineries, we wished we had stayed more than 1 night. We really liked soaking in the pool, which had a panoramic view of the hills.

This felt like a very authentic experience, and we really appreciated visiting Petra and Niko in their home. They food they taught us how to make was really good and I can't wait to try it out here at home

Rafting Experience on Soča River
Rafting Experience on Soča River
Slovenia

The water level was quite low, leaving many rocks exposed which required quite a bit of technical maneuvering. Our guide was great at that, but we still got quite the workout! It was such a great way to experience the beauty of the Bovec area. We couldn't get over how clear and clean the water was.

Our guide was clearly knowledgeable about rafting, but not very talkative. We would've loved to hear more about the nature we were passing through

This was our first time doing "wet" canyoning and it was really fun! The climb uphill was no joke though.

Quality of Experience
We would've liked to go through the canyon at a slower pace - not only to catch our breath, but also to more fully enjoy the experience. But all in all, it was super fun

The guides seem to rush us along. At one point, one guide demonstrated how to climb down the rock with a rope... and then just left me to figure it out for myself while he went ahead. I was a little shaky at this point, and would've appreciated some extra support

This was rather touristy, especially compared to Skojan Caves, but the sheer size of it was so impressive. So despite it feeling touristy, I'd still recommend it as a stop

The groups were huge and they relied only on an audio tour. I would've liked to have had a smaller group with an in-person guide explaining everything

The train into the cave was fun

This was nice. I wouldn't go out of the way to visit, but I'm glad we stopped here. We're not really horse people, but I did feel like I learned a bit during the tour
