We completed the Julian Alps traverse in September 2020. The support we received from Life Adventures was excellent prior to and during our hike. The communication with us was always good which was particularly important due to changes forced upon us by COVID-19 issues. We loved the hike itself and tremendously enjoyed the challenges we faced in what is a different but serious hiking environment. There are great views to every day. This hike is for experienced hikers with a good level of fitness, who enjoy remaining in the mountains every day and the pleasure taken in the such views.

They agreed to take me even though i was the only one signed up for the tour . The transport was a very clean and comfortable Mercedes people carrier. The guide , Vladimir was a real character. Talked a lot and made los of jokes . Also retrieved my hoody hen I nearly left it behind The caves and castle were both very impressive - although both had a lot of other visitors so was quite busy

We’ll leisurely cruise along rural roads, touring vineyards and small villages. Stopping along the way I’ll share some interesting tales of the valley as we discover Slovenia’s biggest mystery! When reaching the medieval town of Vipavski Križ, we’ll stop for a good reason... It’s time to learn about the secret wine that fascinated the Roman Emperor! To join this experience you don`t have to be in good physical shape. Very basic fitness is enough but you need some skill to ride a bicycle! If you have special dietary requirements please let us know.

Inclusions: Use of bicycle, RockVelo / Vipava Valley water bottle included!, A samples of "Secret Wine" and local varieties "Zelen" & "Pinela" are included., A famous local plate, featuring cold cuts and local cheeses.

This tour is definitely different for many reasons: - it is run by locals and locals only. We are not only licensed tour guides but have also lived in Ljubljana for decades and know the city like our own pocket. - most of the guides have high formal education, and are glad to explain more also about economy, art, politics, contemporary social issues and how people of Slovenia live today. - the tour is a private tour. Which means we dedicate our time and knowledge to you and to you only. It also means you do not have to share the attention and squeeze with 30 other tourists, which often happens at "free" or other non-private tours. - we are aware of negative impacts of tourism on local environment. We will always present you locally made products and not products of multinational companies and will introduce you to sustainable tourism practices in Ljubljana. - the tour can be customized. - we will not bore you with numbers and years of every laid brick. The tour is also fun :).

Great and informative tour with interesting insights about the history and culture of Ljubljana and - of course- various types of craft beers. For us, the private tour with Peter was a great combination of sightseeing and fun. Peter was a great guide who shared many interesting information with us and answered all our questions about Slovenia, its capital and the art of making craft beer. Highly recommend this tour, esp. to people who are visiting the city for the first time or want to learn more about craft beers.

The transport was arranged straight from Nadiža camp in Podbela. We didn't have to go anywhere with car. Equipment is new, clean and high quality. That was important for our family - nobody likes thorn and worn-out stuff, right? Memo - our guide was very professional and also entertaining - so it was no trouble or fear for the kids. Great fun for the whole family!

Are you ready for a challenge?  Join us on the Soča down-river trip! Going down the river on a paddleboard is super fun. At first, it's quite a challenge to stand when going through the rapids but don't let that scare you off.  If you find it too hard to do, you can always sit down and enjoy the stability of the paddleboard (very stable compared to kayak)

Inclusions: Fruit and potato chips for our break at the beach., Air-conditioned vehicle, RED paddle boards that are are known for their stiffness and stability....

Exclusions: Lunch, Alcoholic Beverages

My guide was Alenka. She met me at the hotel from there we went to the start of the hike. My recommendation is wear good shoes - no flip flops. Most of the time you are in the shade. There are some steep parts but take your time. Alenka even had hiking poles for me. The poles were great for the way done. Once you get to the top the view is outstanding. Lunch is provided at the top. Highly recommend!
