Lakes and Mountains of Slovenia Slovenia has some stunning scenery, the people are very friendly, and the infrastructure is very well developed; an ideal holiday destination with walking at the higher end of the moderate grade, but nothing too extreme. Radovljica, where you will stay, is an ideal location from which to walk in the mountains and on your free day you can hire a bike and walk or ride to Lake Bled, or take the bus or train to the capital, Ljubljana, which is only an hour away and well worth a visit. A cool beer whilst sitting on the hotel terrace after a days walk is extremely civilised and very rewarding.
Short review of Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia tour The trip started badly because I was travelling with a bicycle and had informed the local travel specialist 5 months ago before I booked. They said no problem but 2 days before the tour told me that they couldn't transport my bicycle and to make my own arrangements. So get confirmation in writing for any additional requests. My family was the only ones on the tour. We had an excellent driver who although wasn't a licensed guide was very knowledgeable. He was also always thinking of ways to allow us to have a better holiday. Last but not least he had a great and sunny personality which made interaction with him a real pleasure.
I'd never taken a trip like this before - I was skeptical that the cost would be worth it. I'd say it was! Though the weather wasn't great (they haven't figured out that part yet ;), we saw amazing stuff on our trip. I'd say they could have made sure more tire repair kits (tubes and patches) were included since we ran out on one day. Also, updating the itinerary to cover the changes to our hotels from the usual route. But the accommodations, food, and sight seeing were all wonderful.
