    Historical monuments, a walk and beer

    Excelent mixture of historical sightseeing, easy walking for a few hours and beer tasting at local craft breweries. We started in the center of Kamnik, walked around the Mali grad castle, stopped for a snack and a beer. This was followed by a tour of Kamnik and another Zaprica castle. We continued with a longer walk to the next settlement. Snack and beer with entertainment along with cute cards with questions about the history and production of beer. We returned to Kamnik and stayed the longest at the last brewer. Excellent guide, good company, friendly brewer hosts.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your visit, we're glad you enjoyed the tour!

    Beer tour in Kamnik: an experience not to be missed!

    The tour is well organised and very enjoyable, it lasts just the right amount of time and the beers offered for tasting are good and many! Our guide was very thorough and told us a few details about the town and the various places we visited. My friend and I had a great time!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review, we're happy to hear you and your friend enjoyed the tour!

    Beer way of freedom

    We spent a great day with friends, with good food and excellent homemede beer. Kamnik is a really beautiful old town with many interesting old stories, presented to us by great guide Ksenija. The best is saved for the end, the tour of the Maister brewery, when we had such a good time that we soon forgot to go home :) definitely we will come again

    Response from the operator: Matjaž, thank you for your positive review! We are happy you and your friends enjoyed the tour and the brewery visit. Do come back again ;)

    A great day with delicious food and excellent Kamnik beers

    A great day with delicious food and excellent Kamnik beers. We tried 10 beers from four local brewers, slowly throughout the day. The tour started in the city center and continued through beautiful old town Kamnik. Along the way we walked through the beautiful nature, had fun playing games and got to know the Kamnik brewers. Beer way is really great for team buildings or if you want to celebrate your birthday in a slightly different way. We were with friends and we all agree that we will do this tour soon again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Nina, for your kind review. We are happy that you and your friends enjoyed the tour! Come back anytime :)

    Beer tour with great food and nature walks

    Great day of stories, nature walks, food and of course plenty of beer. Great way to experience Kamnik. Also I let them know it was my husband’s birthday and they organized a surprise for him. So lovely.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Melanie (and James)! We feel honored that you decided to spend this special day on our tour. Happy prolonged birthday discovering more Slovenian beers (and burgers) in Ljubljana ;)

    BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ljubljana.

    How much does BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ljubljana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ljubljana is not rushed.

    Is BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ljubljana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ljubljana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ljubljana and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ljubljana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ljubljana?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ljubljana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Slovenia in One Day: Small-Group Bled, Postojna Cave & Predjama, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle - Entrance Tickets Included, Ljubljana Small Group Food Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ljubljana?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ljubljana?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; and Fun outdoor activities. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Ljubljana. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about BEER WAY Alpine Beer Tasting & Outdoors Tour?

    Across 18 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, the guide, knowledge and storytelling. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
