About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- TravelWriter70 contributionsBeautiful Slovenia with a Great Tour Guide!Our Slovenia tour with Barbara was incredible! From Ljubljana to Nova Gorica, Piran to the Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. With each step, she was mindful of our personal interests and truly showed us the beauty of this country. Then - a truly over-the-top surprise, when she located relatives of our Slovenian family roots! It was a tour we will never forget, as we shared it with a wonderful person. Highly recommend!Written October 12, 2024
- 726graces0 contributionsHoneyland, and more, in beautiful Slovenia!We really enjoyed Barbara; her knowledge, sharing of her life experience living in the region, her sense of humour, very professional. Before we left CA Barbara reached out to our Travel Agent and suggested we might enjoy meeting a local beekeeper. The inclusion of beekeeper Erik Luznar was fantastic. We highly recommend including a private tour with Barbara in your Slovenia itinerary.Written May 25, 2024
- Kittensmom30 contributionsSlovenian Family History PilgrimageBarbara is an amazing guide. We asked her to take us from Ljubliana to a small village in southern Slovenia where my father grew up. She also offered to do some extra genealogical research with the help of a friend, to find out more about my father’s family. We expected to generally visit the area and drive by some possible homestead sites. With Barbara’s perseverance and guidance, we got so much more than that. We met and were warmly welcomed by cousins she tracked down and contacted in advance. She translated between us where necessary, and led the way to further places in the area which my father had known. The whole experience was mind-blowing, and it would not have happened without Barbara’s help. She was kind and helpful throughout the day, and her communication with us before our trip was excellent. Even if you are not on a family pilgrimage as we were, her knowledge of the area, including the people, history and politics will show you a Slovenia you will not forget. Hire Barbara!Written September 28, 2023
- sheilaa4020 contributionsGreat TimeBarb gave us a great 9 day private tour of Slovenia! Besides being very knowledgeable, I feel like we experienced some hidden gems that only a native would know about. She was also very flexible as to out changing schedule. I would highly recommend Barb!!Written October 11, 2021
- yzaatar0 contributionsNice tour, nice guideToday we had a day tour with Barbara. The day cannot go better. We contacted Barbara several weeks before our trip to Slovenia and the start, the experience was great. Great communication and great recommendations. Today she showed on time and had our tour. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She took her time to deliver a good tour and adapted to our time when needed. Spoke perfect Spanish, in addition to English and 6 other languages. Price-quality ratio is reasonable. Definitely a recommended choice for tours in Slovenia.Written October 1, 2021

My wife and I spent 2 days with Barbara touring. We spent the first day in the Ljubljana town center. We spent 3 hours and got an excellent tour filled with history lessons, architecture and a break at a a local coffee shop.
Our second day was a full day on a tour to Lake Bled and the countryside around it. We saw the Lake Bled Castle, got a famous dessert at the local hotel and went to the top of one of the mountains in a cable car. We also drove through many small villages getting a better view of life in the area. She took us to a local restaurant in one of the villages for a late lunch. We had a wonderful 2 days and I would recommend Barbara’s tours to anyone that wants to get a good picture of Slovenia.

Ljubljana and its outlying caves, castles, countryside and Lakes Bled and Bohinj were like a fairytale. The absolute best decision we made was to choose Barbara as our tour guide for two days. Her insight, extensive knowledge, flexibility and warm friendly nature enhanced our visit beyond what we ever could have accomplished on our own. She was clearly educated, willing to offer suggestions and delightfully genuine. We learned so much and left wanting to tell everyone what a hidden gem Slovenia is. Departing beautiful Ljubljana was bittersweet, but we gained a new friend in Barbara.

The Slovenia Getaway Tour package included a breathtakingly beautiful cross-section of this beautiful country. Only a local Slovene would know the history and hidden jewels we visited. Our tour included visiting artisans working in their homes, Slovenian international destinations that were man-made, natural wonders and religious pilgrimage sites. The meals were all heavenly in picturesque settings. Barbara was completely flexible in meeting the needs and desires of a multi-generational group. Absolutely fabulous guide and educator.

When I first booked an 8-days tour for Slovenia and Croatia, I was a little sceptical that it would not be as good as I imagined it to be. Oh, was I so wrong! The personalised tour we had led by Rok Zibrat, was awesome and better than what we had imagined. Rok was also really friendly and accommodated our needs really well, which helped to make this trip of ours so memorable. There was never a time during the trip when we were unhappy with the quality of service we were provided. Rok also took us to places that were not on the programme based on his own experience, which coupled together with his great knowledge of the history and culture of the places we visited, made for a very memorable experience. We all had a great time for my graduation trip, and would definitely recommend this to all of our friends! Thank you Rok for this awesome experience! 😀

Rok Zibrat from the Slovenia Getaway Tours was our guide during my exposure visit to Slovenia, Italy and Austria. Rok's guidance was very helpful. It was pleasant spending time with Rok. He was reliable, knowledgeable, flexible and had a very in-depth knowledge of Europe. Rok gave us a very detailed historical and cultural overview of Europe which was very helpful for us. I highly recommend a tour with Rok if you are in Slovenia.

We 30 officers of Government of India visited Ljubljana ( Slovenia), Venice and Vienna for 10 days. Mr Rok Zibrat of Slovenia Getaway Tours was our guide during d sight visits of these beautiful cities.He has indepth knowledge about historical aspects of all these places. Besides having all qualities of a professional guide, Mr Rok is indeed a good human being humble, cooperative, caring attitude and what not. During our entire trip, he remained with us like a family member.As such, our tour was quite enjoyable.
I personally feel that Rok's presence during our tour made it a great learning experince and kept us happy nd energetic all d time. I wish him success in his profession.

Barbara Bednek was an absolute pleasure to be with on our day tour from Ljubljana to Lake Bled and Vintgar Gorge. She was an excellent driver, accommodating and informative.....couldn't ask for more. It was raining/pouring, but we managed to do it all. Started out at Lake Bled which was beautiful even on a dreary day. Then to the castle and on to Vintgar Gorge. The hike/walk in the Gorge was not difficult, but the rain made it a bit of a challenge with water pouring off the mountain onto the trail. Barbara assisted me as needed......an 82 year old who thinks he is still 40. .I only fell once.....so I thought that was very good!!!!!! If I had been with another guide it would have been at least a four fall trip.......only the rain made it that difficult. It would not have been difficult on a pleasant day. I think you only have to go about 15/20 minutes into the Gorge as opposed to taking the entire walk. We have travelled the world and usually take a number of private tours.....Barbara was one of the nicest guides we have ever had. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

In 2017, my husband and I spent thirteen days in Slovenia with SLOVENIA GETAWAY. One of the owners, Rok Zibrat was our guide and driver for just the two of us. The country of Slovenia is a pleasant surprise for the traveler and having Rok as our guide made it even better.
Slovenia is a beautiful country with varied topography. Everyday had something different to offer. We toured, the capital, Ljubljana and Lake Bled. We went on walks through beautiful forests, visited the caves, the Lipinzzaner horse farm and many other things. Maximillian’s mansion in Trieste, Italy is beautiful. Slovenia has so much more to experience. We stayed in lovely hotels and ate at delicious restaurants. Then there is the wonderful wine.
Rok, our guide grew up in Slovenia and is very knowledgeable about the country and its history.
I would suggest that you visit Slovenia soon . I would use Slovenia Getaway and Rok for a fantastic holiday.
Did I mention that these two 71 year olds went zip lining over the most beautiful gorge and river.
Thank you Rok for many grea adventures.

We 30 officers of the Government of India visited the Capital of Slovenia ,Ljubljana for a exposure visit in the first week of March 2016.The exposure visit arranged by International Centre for Promotion of Enterprises (ICPE) , Ljubljana gave us a tour guide for travel in Ljubljana and Vienna.He was Rok Zibrat of Slovenia Getaway. An excellent person by heart , impeccable behaviour, baritone voice and knew what info to give , when and where. So much to say , without Rok, the trip would not have been as smooth as it proved to be.
