FAQ

How much does a private day trip cost?

The price is for your whole group, not per person, and depends on how many of you travel, from €680 for 1–2 guests up to €880 for a group of 8, with larger groups quoted on request. The more of you who come, the less each person pays.

What is included in the price of a private day trip?

Every private tour includes tour planning and organization, hotel pick-up and drop-off in Ljubljana, a comfortable private vehicle for your group, and your own licensed local guide-driver for the itinerary you choose. Lunch and admissions are extra, chosen on the day with prices shared upfront. We can also arrange an all-inclusive price on request.

What is the maximum group size for a private day trip?

Our private day trips are designed for groups of up to 8 guests in a comfortable vehicle, never a big coach. We are happy to arrange larger groups on request.  

Can I customize a private day trip to fit my interests?

Yes. We specialize in tailor-made, bespoke itineraries built around what you want to see, at your own pace, whether that is food and wine, hiking, photography, or a mix.

Do you offer private day trips for special occasions?

Yes. We design personalized itineraries for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, team-building events and other special occasions.

How far in advance should I book my private day trip?

We recommend booking ahead, especially in the busy season from May to October. We will always try to accommodate last-minute requests, subject to availability.  

Can you pick me up and drop me off at my hotel?

Yes. We offer complimentary pick-up and drop-off at your hotel in Ljubljana. If your accommodation is in a pedestrian zone, we arrange the nearest accessible point.

Do you offer private day trips in multiple languages?

Yes. Private tours are available in English, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Chinese and more, subject to guide availability. Let us know your preferred language when booking.   

Are private day trips suitable for families with children?

Yes. Private tours are ideal for families because the itinerary and pace flex to your children's interests. Tell us their ages and we will design the right plan.

Our travelers love us!

We had an outstanding experience with Slovenia Explorer! From the very start, Gregor was
exceptionally helpful via prompt email exchanges, working closely with us to customize our
Bespoke Slovenia Day Tour. He carefully listened to our interests and crafted an itinerary that
nicely balanced natural, historical, and cultural highlights.
Our tour guide, Tea, picked our group of six up right on time at our Ljubljana hotel in a modern,
comfortable van. She was energetic, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about
sharing her country with us. For lunch, she recommended a charming small-village restaurant
with great food, which made the day feel even more authentic.
I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish and would recommend Slovenia Explorer without reservation!

We booked from the uk and the service from the point of booking to the day of trip was brilliant.
Our guide Jan was awesome full of facts and history ensuring we got the best from our jammed packed day.
We visited every site you could in the time we had. From caves, castles to lake bled …

The cake and swimming in the lake were the icing on the cake. Until we enjoyed the wine tasting.

The van was immaculate and the driving impeccable.

A friendly professional firm offering you the best !
Thank you for making our holiday the best one ever.

We worked with this tour company to set up a private day trip to Piran. From beginning to end everything was handled with great care, professionalism, and thoroughness. The clear and in depth communication in advance of the trip was great, as was the thoughtfulness of the tour operator, Sandra. On the day of the tour, our lovely tour guide Gordana, showed up right on time in a comfortable car, and ably navigated the way to piran, all the while filling us in on so much really interesting information around the region. She had thought about activities for us in Piran, but left lots of room to be flexible, she followed our pace, and was all around excellent - funny, kind, smart, and really engaging - and all around great tour guide. I highly recommend this company!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Slovenia Explorer, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! We did three tours covering some of Slovenia’s most iconic and beautiful destinations — Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, the UNESCO-listed Škocjan Caves, the charming coastal town of Piran, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Soča Valley and Triglav National Park.
From the start, Urška, who organised everything for us, was fantastic — responsive, thoughtful, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Our guides, Issy and Tomaž, were simply unbelievable. Their knowledge, energy, and warmth made every tour unique, engaging and fun.
The rides were super comfortable, and to our surprise, our kids didn’t complain once…a true bonus for any family trip! The food throughout was another highlight, delicious, local, and perfectly chosen to complement the day’s adventures.
Everything was smooth, well-paced, and perfectly organised. Slovenia Explorer helped us discover the heart and soul of Slovenia in the most enjoyable way possible. If you're planning a trip to Slovenia, this is the team to go with!

I have nothing but praise for how the Slovenia explorer team looked after us. Everyone from the guides, drivers and itinerary planners could not have been better. First class treatment all the way.

I would recommend Slovenia explorer tours for a trip to lake bled. They arranged a private tour with guide which included lunch in a nearby town and visits to the island bled castle and gorge . Gregor was really helpful in planning everything via what’s app and was always available and responded very quickly

Everyone at Slovenia Explorer tours was an absolute pleasure to interact with. We had the most professional, friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guides!

Great day tour to the coast of Slovenia with a visit to UNESCO site caverns on the way. . At our request a visit to a winery was added to the return trip. The visit to Lepa Vida winery was one of the best I have ever done, with a delightful food layout and wonderful presentation by the owner. Our guide went the extra mile to provide a nice experience.

Slovenia Explorer Tours provided us with a private guide for two days plus a meet and greet and return to the airport.They were excellent and our guide Tomaz was a "real gem" For our tour in Ljubljana he explained the city and its history and in particular the architecture of the city.He also paid special attention to the daily life of the markets.He made the city come to life and explained very well all our questions For our second day we visited Lake Bled the Island and the Castle and the this tour was equally well managed and explained by Tomaz who spent most of the day with us albeit that it was a half day tour.
We thoroughly recommend Slovenia Explorer give them 10 out of 10, they made us feel secure and confident in a new City. We intend to use them again to explore more of Slovenia at a later date.
