Amazing Tour

5.00We had an incredible time on our tour! The alps were incredible and our guides were amazing. We saw three waterfalls, drove up to a scenic overlook, and saw multiple lakes/rivers in the national park. We also got to learn more about the history of Slovenia and do the zip line experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and helped make the trip very enjoyable! I would highly recommend this tour.
Wonderful day trip with Jess

5.00First time coming to Slovenia and I booked this day trip. The day itinerary was so packed and a many things to see. Few places you have to hike and must wear hiking shoes, some trials were moderate level. Our tour guide, Jess, was so wonderful, friendly and patient. We had a private tour as it was just us-love it. Jess showed us a secret place which we found very interesting and good find. Overall our experience of this day trip was tiring yet unforgettable and we love it so much.

5.00Legendary and fun trip led by Jesse who is an absolute legend in every sense. The trip itself was good, you see alot of highlights you wouldn't see on your own unless you hire a car and with a cool guide who makes it interesting and fun. Jesse went above and beyond with this aspect and not only did he lead th tour and keep the fun vibe going, he chilled with us in the breaks time aswell. Great trip, great guide.
What a great tour of Triglav National Park!

5.00We had a fantastic and varied tour, lead by Jess, who was knowledgeable, friendly and a very skilled driver! As a small group we really bonded too and had a delicious lunch with the most spectacular view! There was some walking (up and down) but nothing too challenging, with plenty of comfort breaks - highly recommend!
Nature, waterfalls, mountains – unforgettable tour

5.00I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I booked the Emerald River Tour with Mamut Slovenia, but it turned out to be unforgettable. When I walked into their office, I just told them I wanted to see as much of Triglav National Park as possible. They really delivered on that – I still can’t believe how many different places we managed to experience in just one day. The mix of landscapes was incredible: clear green rivers, waterfalls tucked away in the forest, mountain views that looked like they belonged on a postcard… every stop felt different, and yet the day never felt rushed. We always had enough time to actually look around, take photos, or just sit quietly for a moment. A big part of why it was so special were our guides, Tjaš and Maruša. They were professional, of course, but also really easy to talk to and full of little stories about Slovenia. By the end of the day, it honestly felt like I was exploring with friends rather than on a tour. Even though we were out from early morning until evening, the time just flew by. Looking back, this was definitely one of the best days of my trip – maybe even one of the best travel days I’ve ever had. If you’re on the fence about doing it: go for it. The Emerald River Tour is worth every minute.
The perfect itinerary

5.00Our trip to Triglav and Soca valley was nothing less than perfect. We were lucky to have Tomasz as our guide. He was kind, knowledgeable, patient and passionate. He gave us clear instructions, answered all our questions, and he made sure everyone felt included. It felt like going on a trip with a family member who wanted us to have the best experience and not miss anything. The itinerary was well planned and executed. All the stops were so scenic and looked something out of a postcard !
