Discover Ljubljana: The Heartbeat of the Nation

Begin your Slovenian journey in Ljubljana, the charming capital city. Known for its vibrant arts scene and lively street cafes, Ljubljana is a place where modernity meets tradition. Stroll along the picturesque Ljubljanica River, where the city’s architectural wonders unfold—with buildings ranging from Roman antiquity to neoclassical grandeur and even contemporary designs.

Delve into the history as you wander through Ljubljana Castle perched atop a hill. The sweeping views of the city from the castle are truly breathtaking. For those inclined towards more cultural experiences, the city's museums, such as the National Museum of Slovenia, offer deep insights into the nation’s rich heritage.

Embrace Nature in Lake Bled and Beyond

No trip to Slovenia would be complete without a visit to Lake Bled. Envision rowing across the serene lake waters to the iconic island church, set against the backdrop of the majestic Julian Alps. The sight of Bled Castle majestically overseeing the lake makes for a picture-perfect moment.

  • Hiking Enthusiasts: Triglav National Park offers extensive trails, making it ideal for hikers looking to embrace Slovenia's wild beauty.
  • Winter Sports: Plan your custom holiday trips to Slovenia during the colder months to indulge in skiing adventures in the Kranjska Gora region.

Incorporating nature's grandeur into your travel plans might just ignite a passion for the outdoors you never knew you had.

The Karst Region: A Tapestry of Wonders

The Karst region, known for its unique geological formations, opens a portal to another world beneath your feet. Embark on an exploration of the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The network of underground passages, chambers, and waterfalls is a true testament to the region's natural wonders.

When designing custom travel packages to Slovenia, don’t forget to include a visit to the Lipica Stud Farm. The home of the classical Lipizzaner horses, it offers a glimpse into Slovenia's equestrian traditions and allows you the rare opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close.

Culinary Delights: A Taste of Slovenia

With many culinary experiences to savor, Slovenia does not disappoint the gastronomes. The diversity of Slovenia’s cuisine reflects its geographical and cultural influences, making it perfect for food enthusiasts planning trips to Slovenia.

  • Local Flavours: Indulge in the traditional dish, Carniolan sausage, or try Bujta repa, a hearty dish made with turnips and pork.
  • Wine Connoisseurs: Sip on local wines in the Styria wine region, which boasts family-owned vineyards with picturesque views and delicious wines.

Every meal in Slovenia is a celebration of flavors and a chance to engage with locals, making your journey more enriching and personal.

Practical Tips for Your Slovenian Adventure

When planning your custom travel packages to Slovenia, it is helpful to keep some practical tips in mind. Slovenia’s compact size makes it easy to traverse, but renting a car could provide the freedom to marvel at the country’s scenic routes.

English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Slovenian phrases can enhance interactions and offer a more authentic experience. As for the best time to visit, spring and early autumn provide mild temperatures and fewer crowds, perfect for exploring this remarkable country at your own pace.

Embrace the opportunity to travel differently. By customizing your journey, each trip becomes a reflection of your personality and interests. From the thrilling landscapes to the rich traditions and exquisite gastronomy, Slovenia promises an unforgettable adventure tailored just for you. Dive into the heart of Europe’s treasures and let Slovenia enchant you with its myriad of wonders.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

Touching base after our trip. As usual you did a great job helping plan and execute an amazing travel experience!! Everything was fantastic. Especially our hotel location. Since it's connected to the Victoria station it made getting around very easy. Thanks again for your help I'm sure we'll be booking our next trip soon...Leigh Ferris

We recently completed a trip to Crete, Greece - our third trip with GoWay - and I have run out of superlatives to laud their efforts. This was a self drive trip, and as has been our experience with GoWay, we were permitted to customize the standard offered itinerary to suit our personal preferences. Brooke, our agent on this trip, went the extra mile to make all the adjustments we requested, including providing for an English-speaking guide at the Phaistos archeological site. The hotels which Brooke booked on our behalf were truly excellent, and - again, per our wish - just outside of the urban chaos of Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania, but close enough to readily access the cities' benefits. Each hotel was a beachside sanctuary, and we spent several serene, idyllic days never leaving the hotel, and yet there was plenty of time for more distant and adventurous sight seeing. I cannot overstate how happy we have been with our GoWay experiences - most notably in their willingness to listen to our preferences and make those manifest in the itinerary - and this most recent trip just confirms our already positive opinion of GoWay, and we will be certain to consider them again for our next travel adventure.Frank Venuti

Venessa Lloyd at GoWay organized a trip to Africa for us- We just returned last week. It was very well organized and included everything we requested, and more. We did two safaris - one in Tanzania and one in South Africa. They were both excellent, with first class accommodations and guides. We absolutely would recommend GoWay and Vanessa to anyone. Sandra

Overall, the hotel and tours were amazing. We had issues with communicating with the driver. At times I was asked where, I was gone. The local company handled the situation and there were minor issues after. I would recommend a local English-speaking guide every day. My clients loved the trip. The area we stayed in had many restaurants and local markets nearby. I recommend the cooking class, flamenco dance show, wine tasting and taps tour, and the city tour. Jolynn Tizeno

Ani M was absolutely amazing to work with! I actually chose Goway for our group trip because of her recommendations. She was the only agent who took the time to explain that we really needed to split our travels into two separate trips if we wanted to experience everything on our wish list, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance. Throughout the planning process, Ani was incredibly helpful and answered ALL of my questions, even when I asked the same ones more than once! She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I enjoyed working with her and her team so much that I already have another group trip planned with her, and I expect we'll be planning another one soon! The guides during our Scotland trip were wonderful as well. Ian Short was the BEST! He was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the experience. He even worked in sightseeing stops we didn't know we needed to see, and those little extras made the trip even better. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure to Ireland with Goway and working with Ani and their team again!Angela Butler

We recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan
