I’ve just finished a trip with Vai Paz Travel in Slovenia and I’m absolutely thrilled! The organization was flawless, every detail was taken care of, and the itinerary let us discover some hidden and wonderful corners of the country. I had a fantastic time and can’t wait to do it again. Highly recommended!

We had such an amazing experience with Vai Paz Travel agency. We wanted to do some of the adventure activities in Bovec Valley and near Bled. They organized everything for us and everything went very smooth. We had so much fun and we will definitely come back. Special thanks to Daja who took care of everything with the organization.

We worked with Daja at VaiPaz Travel for our group tour in Bled, Slovenia, and the surrounding towns. I cannot state highly enough how fantastic Daja was to work with. She was incredibly responsive, incredibly knowledgeable, smart, efficient, great at clearly communicating things--she made everything seamless! I am looking forward to working with her in the future.

We just returned from our cycling trip and had an absolutely wonderful experience! This is a small, newly established family-run company, but their professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive. The organization and support throughout the trip were outstanding. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, Daja was always available and incredibly helpful. The accommodations were excellent, the route maps worked perfectly, and everything was set up so we could simply enjoy the journey at our own pace. We’re already looking forward to booking our next adventure with this agency, highly recommended!
