What you’ll be doing

Day One: Arrive in Ljubljana

Day One: Arrive in Ljubljana

Upon arrival at Ljubljana Airport, we transfer to our centrally located hotel in the charming capital city of Ljubljana. We have some time to relax after our journey, gathering together this evening with our fellow solo travellers for a welcome drink and information meeting.
Day Two: Ljubljana Castle & Guided Culinary City Tour

Day Two: Ljubljana Castle & Guided Culinary City Tour

We begin our adventure with one of the best introductions to the country — a relaxed 3.5-hour stroll through the cobbled streets of the old town. During the food tour, you’ll sample traditional dishes from Slovenia’s diverse regions and enjoy four local wines, each with its own story. Along the way, we’ll uncover the history and spirit of the Slovenian people and learn about the city’s architecture, culture and traditions.

This afternoon, we ascend to Ljubljana Castle, the proud symbol of the city for more than nine centuries. From its hilltop perch, we’ll take in panoramic views before stepping inside for the Time Machine experience — a fun and interactive journey through the castle’s dramatic past. From medieval battles to royal celebrations, we’ll reveal the stories hidden within these ancient walls.

 

  • Breakfast & culinary tour included
Day Three: Lake Bled, Church of the Assumption & Vintgar Gorge

Day Three: Lake Bled, Church of the Assumption & Vintgar Gorge

Today we travel to the jewel of Slovenia, Lake Bled, where alpine beauty meets timeless charm.

We begin at Bled Castle, a 12th-century stronghold perched high above the lake, offering panoramic views of its turquoise waters and island below. Inside, we explore the castle museum, traditional printing workshop and wine cellar. Next, we sample the famous Bled Cream Cake (Kremšnita) — a light custard-and-cream dessert loved throughout Slovenia.

Then we take to the water aboard a traditional Pletna boat, rowed by skilled oarsmen — a craft passed down through generations since 1590. At the heart of the lake lies Bled Island, where we climb 99 stone steps to the Church of the Assumption; legend has it that ringing its bell brings good luck.

To round off the day, we wander through the breathtaking Vintgar Gorge, following wooden walkways suspended above rushing emerald water — a striking showcase of Slovenia’s natural beauty.

 

  • Breakfast included
Day Four: Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle

Day Four: Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle

We journey underground today into Postojna Cave, one of the most remarkable cave systems in the world. Stretching for 24 kilometres, this karst masterpiece has been fascinating visitors since 1819. We board the electric cave train, gliding through vast chambers adorned with shimmering stalactites and otherworldly rock formations. Along the way, we encounter the cave’s most famous resident — the mysterious olm, or “human fish” — a rare, pale amphibian found only in these depths.

A short drive away stands the spectacular Predjama Castle, built halfway up a 123-metre-high cliff. This dramatic fortress has guarded the valley for more than eight centuries and is recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest cave castle in the world. Inside, we uncover secret passageways and hear legendary tales of Erasmus of Predjama, Slovenia’s own Robin Hood — a story of rebellion, cunning and courage.

Trip Reviews

Super break

A super break with Solos again. Monica, our Tour Leader joined in but worked hard in the background at making everything as it should be. She listened to us and acted accordingly. The only criticism was that the hotel bar closed at 10pm some nights and the restaurant where we had our evening meals wasn't really up to scratch. None of this was the fault of our brilliant Tour Leader.

Jackie

Lovely holiday

Another lovely holiday with Solos, the highlight of which was Lake Bled. Monika is an ideal tour manager, and always willing to 'go the extra mile' for her guests.

Linda

Well located

The hotel was very nice and well located for easy walking around the city. The tour leader also changed the day of the tour to Lake Bled to ensure we had the best weather which worked really well.

Anon

Lake Bled was a highlight

My recent trip was made even more special by our wonderful guide, Monika, who brought the city to life with her knowledge and enthusiasm. Ljubljana is a captivating city, and my trip was made unforgettable thanks to Monika’s guidance and the camaraderie of our group. From exploring the city’s highlights to the serene beauty of Lake Bled, every moment was filled with joy and discovery. I highly recommend visiting Ljubljana and experiencing it with a great guide like Monika.
