5.00Amazing experience, the couple who run the shuttle and restaurant were so friendly and helpful. The gorge is a must see and you are left to explore and walk at your own pace. The beer and dumplings were fantastic and such a lovely setting to enjoy them after your walk.
Very beautiful scenery...

5.00Very beautiful scenery mostly flat except the walk up to the bar and taxi pickup but very worth it. We even spotted a rare goat on the opposite cliff side.

5.00Beautiful walk on the side of the gorge. Whilst helmets are handed out at the start, don't worry, this is a stroll not a climb. Hardest part is the walk to the bar for our food and beer tasting! Worth it though. Transport from Bled and back all went smoothly.
Better things to do.

5.00We had a really great time at the Vintgar Gorge and this tour made it so simple. The company was very good with communicating when the gorge was closed. There was a lot of rain the original morning we had booked, they quickly let us know the park would be closed and were able to move our tour to the following day so we were able to enjoy all the beauty the gorge had to offer. The tasting was a nice way to end and the dumplings were delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour for your trip to Slovenia.

5.00Well organised from start to finish. Clear instructions and easy to find meeting points. Can arrange own travel, gorge tickets and buy the food independently but easier as a package. No time pressures, spend as long as you want and just get the next shuttle.
