Tour Overview
Densely forested and as densely packed with delights, Slovenia is a modern day fairy-tale. Enjoy sweeping views from the red-roofed Ptuj Castle. Wander the cafés and leafy riverbanks of compact Ljubljana. Cruise the sparkling Adriatic around Piran, a town awash with Venetian Gothic architecture. Climb upwards into the majestic Julian Alps to Kranjska Gora, an impossibly pretty mountain village. There’s free time to immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Triglav National Park too, with waterfalls and magical woodland paths at every turn. As the name suggests, our 'Stunning Slovenia' tours really do capture the beauty of this wonderful country.

Day 2
Location: Piran
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Grand Hotel Portorož (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Ptuj is the oldest documented settlement in Slovenia, and equals the country’s capital for historical importance. This morning we take an included sightseeing tour of its beautiful historical core; a compact medieval quarter of monasteries, towers and the 5m-tall Orpheus Monument.
Our tour includes Castle Hill, where a collection of red-roofed houses were assembled in the 14th-18th centuries on the remains of a Roman temple, to create the majestic Ptuj Castle. As you enter the courtyard you will see the red marble tombstone of Frederick IX, the last lord of Ptuj. The afternoon is free.
Day 3
Location: Portorož
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Grand Hotel Portorož (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Spend a day exploring Ptuj’s rich heritage at leisure, or choose an optional excursion to Maribor, Slovenia’s second largest city. This charming city is a jumble of medieval treasures; medieval towers, the remains of a city wall and, in the Lent district, the world’s oldest grapevine. This much celebrated vine has leant against the Old Vine House since the 1500s and still produces plump grapes. Beneath us lies one of central Europe’s oldest cellars, Vinag, with musty tunnels that stretch around two miles under the city.
Day 4
Location: Štanjel, Kranjska Gora, Kobarid
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Hotel Kompas, Kranjska Gora (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Despite being one of the smallest and youngest capitals in Europe, Ljubljana is well known for its rich medieval heritage, as well as a wonderful selection of Renaissance, baroque and art nouveau buildings. We take a guided tour of the city and take time to explore independently. Endless cafés line the river, making an idyllic spot to rest before our journey continues to the pretty alpine town of Kranjska Gora.
Day 5
Location: Triglav National Park, Planica, Kranjska Gora
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Hotel Kompas, Kranjska Gora (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Surrounded by glacial lakes and verdant mountain town, Kranjska Gora is an unspoiled mountain village. Its location makes it a popular destination for summer hikes and winter sports. We visit the Alpine valley of Planica; and Zelenci Nature Reserve, considered the source of the River Sava.
We continue through the village of Mojstana and into Vrata - one of the three Triglav valleys and entrance to the spectacular northern wall of the highest mountain in Slovenia, Mount Triglav (2,864m). Pericnik Waterfall, one of the best known waterfalls in Slovenia, is one of today’s many highlights.
Day 6
Location: Kranjska Gora
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Hotel Kompas, Kranjska Gora (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Today is free to relax in Kranjska Gora or find a walking trail into your wonderful surroundings. Nearby Triglav National Park is Slovenia’s only national park and one of the largest in Europe, full of magnificent sights of rocky mountains, river gorges, forests, lakes, waterfalls and endemic fauna.
Alternatively, take an optional excursion to one of Slovenia’s icons - Lake Bled. This crystal blue, glacier-formed lake is best seen from the cliff-top castle, with a stunning backdrop of mountain scenery. After visiting this 11th-century fort and taking in views of famously picturesque Bled Island, you’ll head to a café by the lake to taste the famous Bled Cream Cake.
Later, visit Bohinj Lake, Slovenia's largest natural lake. After a short journey through Bohinj Valley, you can either take a short climb for an impressive view of the 78m Savica Waterfall, or take a cable car to Mount Vogel, surrounded by the peaks of the Julian Alps.
Day 7
Location: Ljubljana, Ptuj
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Grand Hotel Primus, Ptuj (4-star)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
We head to the Slovenian coast, through the dramatic Trenta Valley and the breathtaking hairpin bends of the Predil Pass (some 1,611m above sea level) to the small town of Bovec. We travel through the Karst region, an intriguing limestone plateau, pausing for lunch at the beautiful stone village of Stanjel. Our journey concludes in the coastal town of Portorož.
Day 8
Location: Ptuj
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Grand Hotel Primus, Ptuj (4-star)

Explore the Slovenian coast this morning from the bow of a boat. Our cruise takes in stunning views as we sail to Piran, one of the best preserved historical towns on the Adriatic, with its picturesque scenes of Venetian Gothic architecture and winding alleyways. This lived-in city sits on a narrow peninsula and you’re never more than a few steps from the sea or a seafood restaurant.
Returning to Portorož, spend the rest of the day at leisure.
Day 9
Location: Ptuj

An electric train takes you into the caves for a guided walk through the most interesting sections, where the stalagmites and stalactites create beautiful naturally occurring patterns.
On your return to Portorož, stop in Trieste, where you can stroll through streets for Italian treats and admire historic buildings including the remains of a Roman theatre, fort and statue of James Joyce, who completed ‘Dubliners’ here.
