Is there any better way to explore one of the most diverse parts of the world than on a holiday where you decide how to experience it? Join us for the ultimate walking holidays in Slovenia, available as self-guided and guided tours, in the breathtakingly beautiful Julian Alps.
With awe-inspiring peaks and picturesque valleys, home to crystal clear rivers and lakes, the Julian Alps are a prime destination for visitors from around the globe. This region, brimming with natural and cultural treasures, is largely protected within the Triglav National Park, Slovenia's only national park.
Our tours, whether you choose the self-guided or guided option, are designed to be accessible to all. They are the perfect choice for those looking to enjoy pleasant hikes through stunning landscapes, uncover local culture, savour the cuisine, and immerse themselves fully in this unique destination.
For those who value independence in their day-to-day itinerary, our self-guided tours offer a sense of adventure with less of a tourist feel. We equip you with all the necessary instructions to ensure you have a seamless holiday experience.
Meanwhile, our guided tours provide the added benefit of expert local knowledge, ensuring you don't miss out on hidden gems.
Your accommodations are strategically located at two different sites, enhancing the diversity of your holiday and minimising travel time to daily destinations. Your adventure begins in Bled, the gem of the Julian Alps, known for its iconic lake and island church views.
The latter part of your stay takes you to Kranjska Gora, Slovenia's centre for mountain pursuits. Encircled by majestic peaks, it offers a blend of sporting and leisure opportunities perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
While public transport in Slovenia is adequate for city travel, it falls short of offering the full Julian Alps experience. For utmost flexibility, we recommend car rental, which we can arrange for you, making every nook and cranny of the Lakes and Valleys of the Julian Alps more accessible.
Alternatively, for those opting for a guided experience or preferring not to drive, private transfers are available, offering a seamless way to enjoy the beauty of the Julian Alps without the hassle of navigating.
Discover the majestic Julian Alps your way. Whether you seek the freedom of a self-guided adventure or the insightful companionship of a guided tour, we're here to make it happen.

We had an incredible trek! The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, communication was excellent with the company. They were so helpful throughout the planning process and when we were in country. Slovenia exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend them enough!
A very good travel agency (also known as "Slovenia Cycling Holidays") who worked flexibly with me to develop our tailor-made holiday based on the self-guided hike and bike tour. Staff were always pleasant and responsive and patient with changing plans. Note this is not a bike holiday operator so, while they book hotels, taxis to move your luggage, hire bikes and a guide for walking, they don't provide technical back up, a van or their own bikes customised for touring. We therefore had to ask a few questions about those small but essential things like where to leave luggage, when bikes would be delivered and where were our promised phone holders (essential as you use your own phone for navigating). The hike and bike is a brilliant concept, as you miss out on the interior of the mountains if you only travel by road. The route was very good, hotels were all great, and the guide (see separate review on "Triglav Tours") amazing. Sadly, though, we did not receive the call on the rainy day (as another reviewer mentions) to arrange faster luggage delivery after a short, but drenching, ride. We tried to get this, but It in fact came late, so we were stuck in a hotel room in Bled for 4 hours on a sunny afternoon with nothing but hotel bathrobes to wear! Our contact responded when we asked for help, but we did not experience the proactivity mentioned by others. That said, the company clearly have well established links with excellent providers and can be trusted to put everything in place and to respond quickly if an arrangement has fallen through. Recommended, but be prepared to be involved yourself in the finer details.
I can’t say enough of how wonderful this company is, we had a customized tour including multiple activities, we had to change the itinerary due to quick changing weather, Klemen took great care of the group, very professional and very caring about the group, I would recommend him and his company.
We went on a trip to Slovenia for hiking, ferrata, rafting, and biking. Klemen was an excellent guide and was very flexible in changing the schedule due to rain. I would highly recommend Klemen and his co-guides to everyone. He is very athletic and also just a great person.
