Customized longer group tours in Slovenia

Guided by: Paul Veenvliet, Licensed Guide and Biologist

Every year, I organize one or more longer custom tours for small groups on request of tour agencies and nature societies. These tours are all-in: I organize accommodations, meals and transport, while I do the guiding myself. I prefer small groups of 6-8 participants, because this allows us to go to vulnerable areas. Also, the chance to see mammals and birds increases when there is just a few of us. I find that an optimal duration for such tours is between one week and 10 days.

Each day we visit a different nature area, but the exact program of such tours depends on the interests of the participants as well as the season. I can organize specialized botanical or butterfly tours, or more general nature tours.  In cooperation with local providers, I often include an evening with brown bear observation and a visit to a cave.

Whenever possible, I prefer locally produced meals from ecological farms. Such tours also include seeing information- and visitors centres that provide in-dept information about the area. Many people like to take pictures and the pace is often slow. Occasionally, I may split the group: some may decide to stay at the spot to observe butterflies and flower while I hike with others to a particular spot. This all depends on the wishes of each participant!
