Marko was a fantastic tour guide! Very helpful in knowing a lot of the history and showing us amazing places. Even though we were gone 80% of the day, we didn't feel tired but invigorated to see more! Waterfalls, vistas and viewpoints, lakes of all sizes and amazing scenic drives. Marko happily took all of our photos for us so we could truly enjoy the moment. A very safe driver even steadily climbing up the sides of mountains. He had some jams on the radio and even showed us some of his native Slovenian music! He showed us some special treats and even took us swimming, in 10°c water lol. I wouldn't miss the chance to book with him and will when come back!

We had an amazing day! Very informative and lots of things to see! The rafting is a must as it was a lot of fun and beautiful scenery! We will never forget this day!
Anna_S, Apr 2026
I had a great time. It was a great day out with plenty of things to see, lots of stops and a few 15-30 min walks. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and personable and I had a great day out. Would definitely recommend and it was also great for a solo traveller.
Chelsea_H, Apr 2026
This tour was an excellent way to explore the Soca valley and Triglav national park! The small group size (max 8, our tour was a cosy 4 people) made it feel very personalised. Matevž was an excellent guide with lots of local knowledge. He was funny, friendly, and made sure we were all comfortable and took lots of photos! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone coming to beautiful Slovenia!
Joshua_T, Sep 2025
Awesome!!! The tour around Triglav was incredible, it started off great and got better with every stop on the tour. Marko was amazing. Very informative and lots of fun. Felt more like a friend taking you to see the best stuff than a tour guide which made the trip feel way more personal. Would absolutely take any other guided tour with Marko or this company.

Our tour guide (Jan) was one of the best guides I’ve ever had and every location we went to was breathtaking. I highly recommend this to anyone interested!

This has the full package . Beautiful views , walking , scenic driving , thrilling white water rafting . It will be a day I will never forget .
Our tour guide Marco was exceptional . Thank you !
Vanessa_H, Jun 2025
Excellent all around. Mathew and Jerry (I would insult them to attempt the Slovene spelling) were fantastic guides and gave us a local's insight to their beautiful country. Our small group, including two children (10,7), enjoyed a jam-packed day hiking waterfalls and mountain views, and river rafting (and sliding and swimming!) the Soca Emerald River. This has been the best part of our trip! Our littlest traveler wants to add, "Thanks for letting us jump into the river and off the rock into the rapids!"
David_Y, May 2025
Marco was in a word, EXCEPTIONAL. The sights, the hiking, the rafting and his attention to every detail exceeded our expectations. This is a great tour, and you’ll be lucky if you get Marko!
darlene_n, May 2025
Definitely wear your bathing suit under your clothes if you are rafting, at the end of rafting you most likely will be changing in the car, bring a big towel
Eowyn_n, Sep 2024
Such an amazing experience! Definitely made memories we’ll never forget. Our favourite part of the tour was swimming in the soca valley. the water was so clear and beautiful. Our tour guide Marko was very helpful and kind and definitely made it a great experience. we would love to do it again!

Excellent tour with Jan - an excellent guide. We were a small group, the van was comfortable and Jan showed us round some lovely parts of this beautiful country. Sadly we do not have much time here and this was the perfect way to see some of the sites. The rafting was fun and Peter was a hilarious guide. We were a mixed group of adults and teenagers and all enjoyed it. Highly recommended.
Philip_W, Aug 2024
Good trip, allows you to spend a day outside of Bled seeing some sights and being active. Jan, our guide, was great.
Silvija_L, Jun 2024
Despite of rainy weather it was a wonderful adventure. Lot of waterfalls at their peak. Good hike. The mountain experience should be great too, but not this time, the clouds and rain are not the friends of beautiful sights seeing. Thanks to our kind guide Jan for his stories and raincoat!
Ann_M, Jun 2024
Our tour guide Tomaz was outstanding, he chatted with us in beginning to understand what our interest were and designed tour accordingly. Highly recommend Tomaz and this tour. The rafting and short hikes were fun and very doable for health 70 year olds!
Ashley_G, Apr 2024
We had such a wonderful day! Definitely a highlight of our whole trip in Slovenia. Jan was an amazing tour guide - knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. The small tour group experience was also great because we all got to know each other and felt like one unified group. Would highly recommend to others!
Beverley_B, Sep 2023
The tour guide was amazing and we visited beautiful places. The raft on the soca was so so beautiful!!! A must do. The only issue I had is that the raft instructor we had got us stuck 5 times and he had no people skills so it spoiled it a bit. If it wasn't for this I'll give it 5 stars
Dave_K, Sep 2023
Amazing experience ! We had an amazing time! Žygis and Yan not sure if I have pronounced their correctly were amazing guides !
Julianna_S, Jun 2023
There aren't enough stars to properly recommend 3glav Adventures as a company and an experience! The day I spent with them hiking Triglav Park and rafting the Soca River is top 5 favorite travel days of all time. They're so welcoming and knowledgeable, and their guides go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic experience. I will recommend them to everyone headed toward Slovenia (and many people who didn't even think to travel there)
Ellen_N, Sep 2022
Awesome day trip! Guides were friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Pickup and drop off was easy and the sites we visited were so beautiful - rafting the Soca especially. Would love to come back and spend more time in the park.
Callum_T, Aug 2022
Amazing tour, amazing guide, amazing value for money, can’t speak highly enough.
Great flexibility on what you want to do, jam packed full of incredible sights and awesome picture spots.
Lovro our guide was a legend!
Mitchell_R, Oct 2019
Amazing adventure, felt like an oppurtunity to see the real natural side to Slovenia! Guide was fantastic and went above and beyond to provide us with the best time possible! Was a pleasure and i learnt so much! Thanks again
Stephanie H, Sep 2019
I really enjoyed this informative tour of Slovenia. I loved hearing the goat stories, seeing the beautiful emerald water, and the information provided by the guide. We saw so much and when they say full day, they mean full day.

We booked this trip to get as much out of our stay as possible, and it did not disappoint. A tiny bit of hassle in the morning, as the trip is out of Bled, not Ljubljana, but that was obviously not 3glav’s fault. The skilled and funny guide Klavdij (pronounced «Cloudy») picked us up with the rest of the great group of people we were lucky enough to spend the day with.
The trip takes you through the Triglav National Park with some great views and short hikes along the way.
The whole group did the rafting as well, down Soca river. Sadly the river was slow and low, but it was still great fun and a lovely bonding experience for the group.
We finished off with another hike and a cool car train ride part of the way, and back to Bled.
3glav is a great company, very service minded and lovely. And Klavdij was just a perfectly lovely guide and host, interacting with the group all the way, bonding us together.
I highly recommend this excursion, and do the rafting!

Loved everything about this trip! The guide, the scenery, the rafting. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone!
AdityaKolhar, Jun 2018
It was totally worth the experience. The guide was simple outstanding. Loved every bit. The rafting was really cool in the blue water. On the whole, will suggest for everyone.
Brian M, Sep 2017
Fantastic day driving and walking through the Julian Alps and to top it off white water rafting. Highly recommend 3glav tours.
Jana R, Sep 2017
It was a great day! I highly recommend this tour to anybody who would like to see and experience Slovenia's beautiful nature. The highlight was rafting down the Soca river. We loved it!
Nicholas N, Jul 2017
Great, active day out. River rafting was the highlight so make sure you choose this option. Jaka and Luka were friendly and fun hosts. A bit less driving would have been appreciated, particularly towards the end of the day, but this is a minor criticism.
Dorothy, Jul 2017
This tour was amazing - one of the highlights of our entire trip!!! Lovro and Yakka were fantastic guides, both taking the time to interact with ALL the people in the group. The hikes were not too long or difficult, the view were spectacular and there was a variety of interests throughout the day. Yakka's stories were much appreciated by all, as were all the pictures they both took. We participated in the rafting, as did everyone in our group and didn't find it overly taxing. There was a young girl in the group and she managed just fine. In fact, I think I had a smile on my face the entire time we rafted, it was so much fun. It was really nice to be able to take the train back, which avoided a long drive back around and added an additional experience. I really can't recommend this tour enough and I definitely want to return to Slovenia!
