I am looking at the Explore Slovenia and Croatia trip online and in your app. However these look like two different tours. Could you confirm which one is correct?

It's only one tour — what is the difference between the app and the online version of the tour?

Will you have any Black Friday discounts/upcoming discounts? What is the meeting time on the first day?

We currently have a 5% discount available, but it applies only to the following tours: Impressive Croatia, Stunning Slovenia, and Adriatic Pearls. On the first day, the driver will meet travelers at the airport arrival terminal with a sign displaying their name at the time of their arrival. The Tour Leader will join them on the second day to continue the journey together.

When will the 2025 dates be released?

Here are the tour dates for 2025:

Is it possible to visit the Euphrasian Basilica whilst in Porec on Day 5 of this tour?

yes, we can add the visit to the Euphrasian Basilica on day 5. We can either add it in the calculation or it can be payed on spot on that day.

I found this trip called Explore Slovenia and Croatia. Could you please let me know if you still offer this trip? I am hoping to visit Croatia and Slovenia in October and have to book this week.

Would I be travelling alone or in a group? What would be the price for this tour? Are there more departure days or only 6th of October?

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent “Explore Slovenia & Croatia Tour”, and would recommend it to anyone interested in visiting these areas. During the course of this 7 day tour, we visited 2 capital cities, several National Park Icons, traveled over mountain ranges and through beautiful small villages set against amazing Alp backdrops, and spent time in gorgeous seaside towns. The overall tour experience was made even more exceptional by our tour guide, Dejan. His knowledge, skill and unique ability to engage with us was the highlight of our tour. As a true ambassador for the tour itself, Palma Travel and the countries of Slovenia and Croatia, he is without doubt “the best”. Rose and GaryShow more

  They looked different yesterday (7 days versus 8 days duration) but it's possible I was mistaken. I was looking at your tours last year and there was one that started in Ljubljana and finished in Zagreb. Is there still such a tour.
- PALMA DMC & TOOperator•Written February 2026
  The tour Explore Slovenia & Croatia is 8 days / 7 nights.
  We only offer the tour Invigorating Capitals, which starts in Ljubljana and ends in Zagreb; however, it is a private tour.
