What's this trip about?

    This is the perfect way to see Slovenia! Drenched with fascinating history, old-world charm, and natural beauty, Slovenia is a fairytale country waiting to be explored. Kick off your vacation in the capital of Ljubljana, where you'll enjoy a private walking tour. Admire baroque architecture, shop in open-air markets, and feel immersed in the vibrant culture of Slovenia. En-route to the picturesque town of Piran, you'll stop at the Postojna Caves for a unique tour of this subterranean world via electric train!  Upon arrival in Piran, take in stunning views of the Slovenian Coast. Nestled in between the blue sea and mighty town walls, this beautiful town is known as one of the most photogenic cities in the Mediterranean. Stroll through narrow streets, admire statues in the main square, and explore the alluring old port, called "Mandrac." Treat yourself to a lovely dinner by the sea! From Piran, you'll be driven along the stunning Soca River, through Kobarid, to Boka Waterfall, where you'll make a special stop. Then, you're on to the one and only Lake Bled. Enjoy admission to Bled Castle, take a tour of Lake Bohinj, and ride a cable car to Mt. Vogel! Feel your jaw drop as you admire spectacular views of the Julian Alps, Lake Bled, and Lake Bohinj! With visits to the WWI Museum and the Shepherd's Museum, you'll get your history fill as you go.
