Tour Highlights
The experiences that bring most travelers to Slovenia, each one a stop on a private itinerary.
Lake Bled’s island church
A pletna boat ride and Bled cream cake
Postojna Cave’s underground train ride
Predjama Castle, built into a cave mouth
Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site
Ljubljana Castle and Plečnik’s bridges
WHY VISIT
Why Visit Slovenia?
Few countries pack this much into so little ground. An alpine lake with its own island church, a karst landscape of caves and underground rivers, and a green, walkable capital sit close enough together that a private driver can link them in a single trip.
A private tour makes that density work. Your own guide and driver set the pace between Ljubljana’s Old Town, Lake Bled and the Karst region, with sights that take planning, such as the pletna boat crossing to Bled’s island, already worked into the route.

Ljubljana Old Town
Slovenia’s capital is compact and pedestrian-friendly, with cobblestone streets and the Ljubljanica river lined with cafes.

Ljubljana Castle
Perched on a hill above the city, with panoramic views over the old town and beyond.

Slovenia’s most famous landmark: a lake with a tiny island church and a medieval castle on the cliff above. Traditional pletna boats take visitors across.
Postojna Cave
One of the most visited caves in Europe, with an underground train ride through vast chambers of stalagmites and stalactites.
Predjama Castle

A UNESCO World Heritage site with an immense underground canyon carved by the Reka River.

How many days do I need for a private Slovenia tour?
A day covers Ljubljana and Lake Bled well, as on day two of our Highlights of Balkans route. Adding Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle and the Škocjan Caves takes a little longer. Our current itineraries combine Slovenia with Croatia and other Balkan countries over 10 to 14 days.
Can Slovenia be combined with Croatia, Italy or the Balkans?
Yes, through the same operator and a single point of contact. Our Croatia & Slovenia and 5 in 1 itineraries already combine Slovenia with neighboring countries on one continuous trip, and 5 in 1 includes Venice.
Is Lake Bled worth a day trip from Ljubljana?
Yes. Lake Bled is about an hour’s drive from Ljubljana, and the pletna boat crossing to the island church is one of the best-known experiences in the country. On our Highlights of Balkans route, Bled and Ljubljana Castle share one day.
What is the best season for the Karst caves?
Postojna Cave and the Škocjan Caves hold a steady temperature year-round, so they suit any season, though summer books up further ahead.
Is Slovenia part of the Schengen Area, and what currency is used?
Slovenia is in the Schengen Area and uses the euro. Entry rules depend on your passport, so check current requirements for your nationality before you travel.
Do you offer a Slovenia-only private tour?
Our listed itineraries combine Slovenia with other countries. A Slovenia-only trip can be built as a custom itinerary, so contact us with your dates and interests.
What is included in a private Slovenia tour?
A private licensed guide, a private vehicle and driver, entrance tickets, airport transfers and the hotel nights and meals stated on your itinerary. See the What’s Included section above for the full breakdown.
How much does a private tour that includes Slovenia cost?
Our four itineraries that include Slovenia start at 1,750 USD per person for the 10-day Highlights of Balkans and go up to 3,100 USD per person for the 11-day Croatia & Slovenia. Final pricing depends on season, group size and hotel category.
