    Breathtaking excursion with a great guide!

    This was a fantastic excursion.. we went to the alps first and took about an hour walk to a beautiful area and had lovely apple strudel before our walk back. Then we visited a Slovenian house museum which was very interesting.. we then had lunch in a typical Slovenian restaurant the food was really tasty! We then visited Lake Jasna which was absolutely beautiful. Our guide Sanda was perfect in everyway and we had great fun together throughout our day!

    A Grand Day

    There were just the two of us on the tour and therefore we had a car and guide to ourselves. Everything was done to how we wanted and the arrangement were flexible. The sights of Planica and the Triglav National Park were sensationally beautiful. Our tour guide was Sanda and she was knowledgable, kind and friendly. We had a great day

    A good starting point for many pleasant walks into the hills

    Krannska Gora is not a glamorous resort, but a nice small village with only a handful of hotels, but a very large number of rental apartments which are as a rule nicely furnished and very clean. It is an origin of many easy trips as well of a serious one day mountain tours. A nerbay Vršič pass will take to another part of Slovenia with an azure blue Soča river. Another pass to the North will get you in 30 minutes to Austria. Our family is staying in Kranjska gora a week every summer for the last 20 years

    Great tour!

    We booked this tour mainly because we were interested in seeing the Nordic Ski centre at Planica, but really enjoyed the whole thing. It started with a lovely drive through the mountains, travelling through little villages, then visiting a man made lake. We went back to Kranjska Gora for coffee and a visit to the traditional home, which was guided by a very knowledgeable local. From there it was off to Planica which was amazing! We were able to take a chairlift lift to the top of the ski flying hill, a distance of some 200 meters, which I would thoroughly recommend. The whole trip was expertly driven and guided by Sanda who was helpful and knowledgeable. We will be returning to Slovenia, and I will certainly check out other tours offered by this company.

    Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $388 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 Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10.5 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 Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Triglav National Park and the Alps Private 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 Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Triglav National Park and the Alps Private 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 Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour?

    +

    Included: Central Ljubljana or Bled pickup and drop-off; Comfortable transport by air-conditioned minivan; and Professional English speaking guide. Not included: Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 12 listed pickup locations in and around Ljubljana.

    What languages is Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour offered in?

    +

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

    +

    Is Triglav National Park and the Alps Private tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
