About
Škocjan caves are the largest underground cavern in Europe. Its majestic subterranean river canyon qualified it to be placed under UNESCO natural heritage protection. Walking on the 3 km (1.8 mi) path through the caves is an experience worthy of fairy-tales, fantasy and awe. The indescribable scenery will make you look over your shoulder, almost expecting a dwarf or some other magical creature to appear from the darkness. You will be able to learn about the first explorers of this incredible feature of our planet and, if you are really lucky, spot some of the creatures that have made this place their home.

      A perfect day with so much fun
      We had a fantastic day with our booked tour through the Slovenian countryside, followed by canyoning. Our guide was very informative and friendly! The communication beforehand went smoothly and we were picked up on time from Ljubljana. Everthing worked wonderfully and we felt safe during the canyoning tour thanks to our guide! I would do the trip again, I highly recommend the organisation.

      Not so good experience with the adventure activity in Soca Valley
      We had booked a day Trip to Soca Valley in Slovenia. Our Guide Matej was an amazing person to interact with and really had a great time with him. He made all efforts to ensure that we had a smooth trip. However, the major disappointment was regarding the ziplining activity we had booked. Though we were taken to the start point of the zipline, we weren't allowed to do the zipline. The reason stated was that we weren't experienced on it, we doubt it and found it quite unjust. We had booked this trip because it was mentioned that no prior experience was needed. The worst thing is we were just left stranded there without knowing what to do in in the scorching summer heat. Everyone else had just left. We wasted almost 2.30 hours in this and the whole point of coming to Soca valley was the zip line. Hence, we request you to clearly mention the requirement in the description for the trip, so that people are aware before booking for the trip.

      DAY TRIP FROM VENICE - GREAT INTRODUCTION TO SLOVENIA!
      We had the most wonderful guide - Tine - we cannot recommend him highly enough. We were picked up near the train station in Venice at 9am promptly, and it was a smooth and beautiful drive into Slovenia. We had lunch at a delicious lake-side restaurant in Bled, then took a pletna over to Bled Island, where we had time to hike the trail around the perimeter and also do a complete tour of the beautiful little church and tower. Tine then whisked us to the other side of the lake for a tour of Bled Castle, the oldest in the country, which houses a small demonstration printing press and museum. In addition, our kids had seen the alpine slide at Straza Hill snaking down the mountain across the lake from the castle, and Tine fit it into the schedule as a surprise addition - such fun! He was so accommodating and kind. We were back in Venice for dinner just a little after 8. A fantastic introduction to Slovenia and we can't wait to return for a longer visit!

      Slovenia … what a sensational country with wonderful people!
      We booked 3 different day tours online with Day trips Slovenia from Perth, Western Australia. The service was second to none with Maruša who responded quickly with our queries. Our first tour was with our guide Erika who picked us up from Lake Bled and took us on a wonderful journey through the Julian Alps and the Soca Valley including the Ziplining. Our second tour was with Jan who took us to Mt Vogel on the cable car, Mostnica Gorge and the Savica waterfalls. The scenery in the Alps region was breathtaking and highly recommended - tranquil and stunning scenery. Our third tour was from Ljubljana with Matej who took us to Postojna caves and Predjama Castle. All of our tours are thoroughly recommended and using this company sees fabulous guides accompanying you. Our guides were personable, knowledgeable, relaxed, attentive and drove calmly and safely. We felt in exceptional hands at all times. We met Simona, the manager, at the offices in Ljubljana in order to thank her and the team personally. Great job Slovenia day tours! Thank you.

      A must do tour
      Nejc was our guide. He went out of his way to ensure we had an enjoyable day. Very knowledgeable guide. We visited Vintgar Gorge, Vogel by cable car, Triglaw NP, Savica Waterfall and Bohinj Lake where we also took a boat cruise. It was a fantastic day. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on the tour and we did everything at our own pace. Nejc, thank you for a wonderful day, it was a pleasure spending time with you and getting to know you.

      We took multiple day trips and everything were perfect - From the initial booking to the day of the trip. Our guide were tentative, polite amd friendly, with full knowledge of the area. All the trips were so enjoyable that we will definitely use the same company when we come back. Highly recommended.

      The Julian Alps in Slovenia - a day tour from Bled
      An excellent day out in the Julian Alps with Jure. We were 3 friends of mature age so Jure (a canyoning specialist) knew to take things a bit slower than usual. We walked the Vintgar gorge. Jure kindly met us at end and walked us back throuh the forest to the car park. Then we hiked up to and behind the Pericnik waterfall, an amazing experience. We travelled through beautiful valleys with the mountains close by around us and had a picnic at the head of the valley. Then a rather special experience at the Planica skijumping centre - amazing to see both children and adults training here. You can also practice x country skiing in an indoor facility. We were left back at our hotel having had a busy but fantastic day out.

      A beautiful day at Lake Bled
      We had such a great time at Lake Bled. My wife and I went on this tour from Koper with Marjana, who gave great insight into the area, plenty of time to experience all that Lake Bled had to offer, and great conversation. The tour started and ended on time as we had time constraints from our cruise ship, but we felt that the time was maximized to give us the best taste of Slovenia possible. Highly recommend!

      Venice to Lake Bled and back again to Venice .... loved it !!!
      In planning my family trip to Italy, I wanted to also see another country while we were there. When I noticed how close Slovenia is to Venice, I searched online for tour companies and saw that Day Trips Slovenia would pick me and my family up in Venice, drive us to Lake Bled, and then have us back in Venice in time for dinner. Between the drive to and from Lake Bled and the time we spent at Lake Bled, we were treated to an absolutely magical day, falling in love with Slovenia in the process. My dealings with the Day Trips Slovenia staff as well as our driver were professional, thorough, and delightful. Everyone was more than willing to help and were passionate about introducing us to their wonderful country. As a result, we had an incredible day. If we ever return to Slovenia, I would definitely reach out to this company again for assistance. If you're going to Italy and want the chance to see another country thoroughly in 1 day, this is the way to go !!!!

      Excellent Guide and memorable tours
      We had great experiences with Day Trip Slovenia and an excellent guide Tine Verbic. First, online booking and rescheduling was very pleasant with quick and prompt responses within a day or a few hours during the travel. We booked two tours from Bled on two consecutive days and had Tine as our guide for both of th tours. We’ve had many private tour guides in the past. So far Tine is one of the best we’ve ever had. He is knowledgeable, tentative, pleasant, genuine, and the “mostnice” person to talk to. He helped us to make last minute schedule change with prompt communication with the company’s operator. The castle and the cave are the places ‘a must’ to visit with fascinating legendary story and incredible natural beauty. We also spent a day hiking through Vintgar Gorge and Triglav National park. The scenery is breathtaking and unforgettable. I highly recommend Tine to be your guide (ask him as your guide through your tour operator) and Day Trip Slovenia as a tour company to work with.

      Prompt, convenient, reliable
      My 2 yr-old son and I did both a regular day trip to lakes Bled and Bohinj, and personalized trips to some of the area's old forts. Each were well-timed, comfortable trips with other places of interest pointed out along the way. A highlight was our trip to Hrastovlje which was actually a last minute addition that the company help me plan. Follow-up was prompt and payment was easy. A great, convenient way to see the different amazing corners of Slovenia, with guides who have lots of local knowledge.

      An excellent tour company if you want to get the best out of your visit to Slovenia.
      I booked five tours to see as much of Slovenia as possible. I arranged this with Jovan who couldn’t have been more helpful. I explained my areas of interest and suggested some places I thought would be good to visit and he expanded on this with some great suggestions. I asked for a different guide for each tour and requested that the guide should also be the driver. These requests were met and excellent guides were provided. All of the guides were highly knowledgeable, good communicators and excellent company. The guides were local to the tour areas and two of them travelled a considerable distance to pick me up in Ljubljana and then take me back. Their flexibility and eagerness to please was commendable. I have no hesitation in whole heartedly recommending this company if you want to get the best out of your visit to Slovenia.

    This day trip was perfect for me because I wanted to squeeze in as much as possible and I got to see both the caves and the coast in the same day. Piran was the highlight with its tiny streets and beautiful Venetian architecture. Wonderful place to explore with a camera!
