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.

This is an excellent tour agency that provides an excellent, all inclusive safari experience in South Africa, especially in the renown Kruger National Park. The agency will provide a very detailed, day-by-day itinerary of the trip, which, for the most part, describes exactly the order of activities that a customer will experience from start to end of the reserved trip. Our safari trip included a hotel pick-up in Cape Town in the beginning of the safari trip and drop-off at the end of the trip. Flights to and from either Johannesburg or Mpumalanga airport are included. We reserved a 3-day safari trip which included an afternoon safari the first day, a full day safari the 2nd day, and a morning safari the 3rd day. The lodge where we stayed was very clean with modern and convenient accommodations, including WIFI and breakfast. The guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all animals we came across during our trip, and were also very courteous, polite and easy to engage in conversation. They made our safari trip exciting but safe! I would highly recommend this safari tour agency. Christos Patriotis

I had an amazing trip. It was more than I could have expected. I got to see everything I wished to see while I was abroad. All the guides were lovely and provided me with excellent knowledge on their cities/tours. Especially in China where it was their holiday week and they all took time away from their families to make me around their cities. The tour company in Japan made sure I got to every tour destination and knew what the plan was for each day. This is the second time I have used Goway for traveling and it has exceeded my expectations. katieahotmail.com

We just returned from an incredible 2-week trip to Brazil, and it exceeded every expectation. This was our first time using Goway, and RuthAnne absolutely knocked it out of the park. What Made It Special: Exceptional Guides - Every guide RuthAnne selected was outstanding. Our Rio guide was probably the best we've ever had anywhere in the world. Our Iguazu Falls guide was equally fantastic—knowledgeable, personable, and made the experience unforgettable. Every guide was excellent throughout our journey. Amazon Experience - The Amazon River portion was breathtaking. Incredible venue, exceptional staff, and truly memorable excursions. Perfect Planning - Every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Timing, accommodations, activities—everything flowed seamlessly. RuthAnne clearly knows Brazil inside and out and matched us with the perfect experiences for our family. We felt taken care of every step of the way. Bottom Line: We'll absolutely be using Goway again for our next adventure. Traveled as a family of four - would recommend for couples, families, or anyone seeking a hassle-free, world-class experience.Ethan Davenport

We just returned from a 2 week tour of South Africa, Zimbabwe(Victoria Falls) and Botswana, and had a fabulous time! This was the third tour I've used Goway, and as usual, it was such a positive experience! The accommodations that were booked were awesome! The hotels were luxurious, clean and the staff, all so warm and welcoming! Our travel agent, Vanessa Lloyd, did a fabulous job arranging everything, and was always available to answer my many questions! We'll be using them again, next year when we take a family trip to the Greek Islands and Turkey! They are always consistent in the quality of the hotels and experiences, and I highly recommend them for your travel needs!Fran Nitta Barnes

We are still on our journey in Italy. At Capri now and heading to the Amalfi Coast. So far, we can’t thank Goway enough for putting our itinerary together so quickly. Everything is going well and hope the next 10 days are perfect too. Gladys Vivian

Can't say enough good things about Goway Travel. From the very start, our travel rep, Harpreet, listened carefully to what we were hoping to see and do on our first trip to Japan. She asked great questions and then came back to us with a detailed itinerary packed with adventure and fun, and all within our travel budget. From the moment we took off from LAX, Harpreet had made sure we had every tour voucher, hotel voucher, plane ticket, train ticket, literally every detail covered. All we had to do was follow our itinerary. Also, Harpreet booked us into terrific hotels. Each one was spotlessly clean, comfortable, included a full (and delicious) breakfast and, most importantly, was centrally located to all of the activities she had planned for us. So everything was a 5 or 10-minute walk away. In three weeks' time we were able to visit six cities and so many fascinating shrines, temples, castles, imperial palaces - most of which were World Heritage sites. Harpreet also tucked in fabulous "experiences" like learning how to make sushi with a professional chef, enjoying a tea ceremony and watching graceful Geishas dance. My husband and I are seasoned travelers. But we don't speak Japanese and we really knew very little about the country. There is no way we would have been able to see and do all of the fascinating things we did in Japan if we hadn't chosen Goway Travel to be our guide. Many thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Great country (Italy), great people and love the feel you get by just being you. Ingrid Aird did a great job with a pair of tours one private and one group. Organizing pickup from airport and flights. Hotel, Enterprise Hotel, after a bit of a rough start getting us into a proper room, was more than excellent.Thomas Helps

We were looking forward to a magical vacation in Greece, and Goway Travel delivered on all fronts. This is the second time that we have booked with them (the first being an incredible excursion in Thailand), and everything went along swimmingly. Only on one occasion did a tour go sideways, but our Goway specialist (Patrick) took care of it for us. When your tour involves many flights, numerous hotels, various tours, ferries, and transfers, it is nice to know that your travel specialist can handle it all. Goway (from Patrick to all the other staff involved) handled everything in such a professional manner. Thanks Goway for such an incredible experience in Greece. I look forward to another adventure in the near future!Jenny Friess

We recently returned from France - three cities in two weeks - and our trip was fantastic! Jacqueline helped us with a return to France with no worries and concerns. Drivers met us at every destination- hotels were superb and the individual tours memorable. This is a return vacation with Goway and we could not be more pleased. The customer service is top notch and all questions answered promptly. For us seniors, we appreciate all the thoughtfulness and consideration.ElizaGray
