5.00Thomaš did a great job of tailoring the experience to our interests. We had quite a range of interests in our group and he made sure to discuss bits of Slovenian culture and history relevant to each of us. He was also able to be flexible about time spent at each location and dropped us off close to our hostel. He was kind, knowledgeable, and funny. We highly recommend this tour!
Great experience!

5.00We booked the Soca river tour with Slovenian explorer for two of us on April 15th 2019. We had extra request to pick us up from Bled and drop us at Ljubljana which was welcomed by the team. They respond to emails quite regularly and also were on time for pick up and drop. Luckily, we were the only ones for the day, so it was quite like a private tour! Yaay! (Cookie points for not cancelling the tour). Our guides Santa and Mathan (definitely not the correct spelling) were knowledgeable and friendly and we had a great time listening to the history of Slovenia. They even took us to few additional stop points on the way. Their enthusiasm and interest until the end of the tour is highly appreciated! The driving route looks magical- Julian alps and Soca river are mindblowing! Thanks for a wonderful day! :)
