    An incredible tour through the Triglav region in Slovenia. The communication with 3glav was great to organise pick up & drop off coming from Ljubljana. Marko was a fantastic and passionate guide, who showed us through the most beautiful parts of the area with great insights to understand the history. We really appreciated him taking photos throughout the day, allowing us to soak in the views while an experienced eye captured memories for us to take home. Everything through the tour was efficient and we had such a packed itinerary day, still having time for a well recommended lunch and a refreshing swim in the river. We would highly recommend to anyone looking to see the best of outdoors Slovenia in a day.

    We had underestimated just how fantastic this experience was going to be. The sheer breadth and number of strikingly beautiful places was astounding. I could hardly process what I was looking at. We are very glad we decided not to rent a car and attempt to do this ourselves. It was so stress-free. The local knowledge from Marko was insightful and very relevant. Marko was an absolute machine, and we appreciated both his flexibility and efficiency. He took the photos and positioned us so that we could switch off completely, which was a joy. If Marko saw that we wanted to spend a bit more time somewhere, he would give us a choice to stay for longer if we were happy to sacrifice some time elsewhere, which was great. . We opted not to go rafting, so while the others were gone he showed us this stunning beach off of the Soča River. We were so pleased! We got excellent value on this trip. We’re surprised we didn’t pay more. We’d highly recommend this tour, and would also encourage you to ask for Marko!

    To Marko, with love. We were nourished by the heavens today. Four middle-aged adventure- seekers were served an experience unlike any other. Our ambitious appetites were served by a Triglav delicacy. A Slovenian sandwich, with Marko (our hero) as the scrumptious bread on both sides and a myriad of delights tucked inside this gourmet feast. A FEAST OF THE SENSES. Marko is the alpha and the omega of this 11-hour trek through the finest senses that Slovenia has to offer. He is more than a guide, he is a guru. He is more than a chauffeur, he is a champion (ski jumper). He is more than a sightseer, he is a servant. First, Slovenia is God's country. What a revelation upon our first visit. I’ve never been inside a more pristine country. Around every turn is a breathtaking landscape to admire. Marko picked us up at the doorsteps of our treehouse lodge and dedicated his entire day to exposing us to the native beauty that makes him so proud of his homeland. The emerald forests sing, the creeks whistle and the lakes shine in this thorough excursion narrated by thoughtful insights Marko has gleaned while hiking, swimming, biking and rafting every nook of Slovenia over four decades. We marveled at his mastery of local history, biology, botany, and geology. Like a professor in biker shorts, he enlightened us with stories and fun facts as he led us past mind-boggling waterfalls and life-altering vistas. He was attentive and made sure we had ample breaks for snacks, lunch, water, and restroom visits. After baptizing us in the Soca River, he handed us off to the rafting experts for the pinnacle of our perfect day. While Marko resigned himself to taking snapshots for our memory books, Jernej took the reins of our Soca River Rafting leg of the day. And here is a man who is comfortable in his skin. With rafting savant Toby, by his side, we were treated to what became the singular highlight of our 22-day European Road Trip. We cannot be more grateful to Jernej and Toby for providing us with all the training, leadership, and encouragement we needed to enjoy the most triumphant river trip. 1-2-3 - Mavericks! In between swashbuckling rapids were the most serene moments where the Skipper (Jernej) would frame the surrounding nature in the most picturesque way as we drifted into infinity. By day’s end we had kissed a waterfall, grazed with sheep, sipped god’s nectar, and made a new friend or three. Thank you, Marko for the most transcendent day. Everyone deserves the bliss he bestowed upon us today. To infinity and beyond.

    This is the best tour I’ve ever been on. Highly recommend!!! Best way to see the beauty of Slovenia in the national park. River rafting was so fun. Our guide was incredible - giving us so much history and context about each place we visited / drove by. The views are absolutely unreal - I loved it so much. I will definitely be recommending this tour to all my friends that come here and hope to come back and do it again someday! Bring comfy shoes, some water, and prepare to have so much fun! Also the pictures were great to commemorate this day.
