Beautiful Slovenia & Croatia's Istrian Jewels

Take in the beauty & crystal clear seas of Croatia’s spectacular Istrian Peninsular

Experience a truly authentic taste of Croatia and Slovenia

From Imperial Vienna and the stunning Schönbrunn Palace to beautiful Slovenia and enchanting Croatia, discover some of Europe’s grand cities such as Graz, lovely Ljubljana, classic Zagreb and Trieste in Italy and enjoy Opatija’s ‘Belle Époque’ parks and promenade. Enjoy exciting activities such as a relaxing horse and carriage ride, a trip on a historic boat to a Church in the middle of Slovenia’s Lake Bled, ride high in a cable car above beautiful Lake Bohinj, visit craggy castles, and take in the stunning views across Corinthian Lakes from top of the Pyramidenkogel - Europe’s highest wooden tower. Ride deep into the Postojna Caves and step high inside rock clinging Predjama Castle. Not forgetting our trademark longer stays such as an extra night in Plitvice so you get to properly explore both sets of Plitvice’s cascades and leaping waterfalls and 3 nights in the jewel of the Istrian peninsula – Poreč, with included excursions and visits to picturesque Rovinj, Pula’s Roman Amphitheatre and the ‘time capsule’ mountain village of Grožnjan. What an adventure!

Tour Suitability

Our tours require a moderate level of fitness due to the unique places we visit and stay. This tour is not suited to anyone who has mobility issues.

  • There are a number of beautiful towns and sites we visit which require exploring on foot.
  • We include a cable car ride up mountains. Whenever you are at even a moderate altitude breathing becomes a little more laboured when you exert yourself. Having said that, neither summit we visit is very high, and there is no need to do anything but take in the views. So as long as you take things easy and go at a more leisurely pace (and with Albatross we have time!) you will be fine.

Please refer to our Tour Suitability section for more information.
