Day 1: Bohemian Ljubljana

After touching down at Ljubljana Airport, your cheeky guide will be ready to welcome you and take you straight into the heart of fun-sized centre of Ljubljana.

Discover why it’s easy to fall in love with this charming capital as you wonder around Ljubljana’s cobblestoned streets and enjoy its impressive baroque architecture. Weather permitting, we’ll have the opportunity to experience a variety of freshly cooked food prepared by Slovenian chefs in the Open Kitchen under magical Ljubljana castle.

Following this, we’ll head back to the accommodation where you can continue to bond over a few beers with your crew at the hostel bar or call it a night.

Day 2: Castles, Caves, Countryside & Cab Sav

Today might feel like we’re on a Game of Thrones set as we visit a castle, cave and sample wines from a winery in the countryside. After breakfast we’ll visit one of Europe's most dramatic and unique castles - Predjama castle where we’ll discover the story and history behind it. There will be an optional entry (€21) to the castle for anyone wanting to explore inside.

Following the castle, we’ll head to UNESCO Škocjan cave for a guided tour inside where you’ll be in awe by the jaw-dropping natural beauty and sheer size of this cave.

A day out in the countryside wouldn’t be completed without wine tasting so we’re off to Vipava Valley - a region known for its scenic dotted towns, hospitality and most importantly, its quality wines. We’ll get to enjoy a few cheeky wines alongside a charcuterie board at a local winery. After wine tasting, we’ll have a group dinner back in Ljubljana.

Day 3: Bleddy Unreal

You may think you're still dreaming this morning when you lay your eyes on Lake Bled. We’ll take a short hike up to a viewpoint that perfectly captures this fairy-tale lake with the church on the island, the mountainous backdrop and the imposing castle perched on top of a cliff face all in the one shot! After you've stopped pinching yourself, it’s time to embrace the lake with a Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) session. Once we’ve conquered the water, you’ll have free time to explore the beauty around the lake at your own pace - your cheeky guide will happily provide recommendations.

Later in the afternoon, we’ll visit the stunning Vintgar Gorge and take an easy walk through this picturesque natural gorge.

Day 4: Choose Your Own Bled Adventure & Lake Bohinj

With Lake Bled being home to both fun and adrenalin pumping activities, today is your free day to discover and explore this adventure playground.

Whether you feel like zip lining over the Sava river (longest zip line in Europe), paragliding up in the mountains, horse riding through nature, cruising around on a bike or simply relaxing by the lake and enjoying the serenity - the choice is yours! Your Cheeky guide will assist with arranging optional activities.

Optional Activities:
- 7.5KM Zip lining over the Sava Dolinka river €85
- Horse riding €70
- Paragliding €130

Price of optional activities are subject to change.

This afternoon we'll check out Bled's sister lake Bohinj.

Day 5: Triglav National Park

Today we’re venturing into scenic and untamed Triglav National Park.

Get ready to soak in the fresh mountain air and spectacular views as we drive into the Julian Alps. As we wind our way through the scenic Vršič Pass, we’ll stop and visit some local hidden gems we like to keep secret (sssh!).

Prepare for a jaw-dropping moment once you first glimpse the emerald crystal waters of Soča river where we'll stop for a bite and opportunity for anyone keen to plunge into the alpine water.

We'll check into our accommodation in the quaint town of Bovec.

Day 6: Wet 'n' wild

Today it's time to put on wetsuits and get Wet ‘n’ Wild white water rafting down Soča river.

The afternoon is yours to enjoy around Bovec town - hire a bike, check out the local brewery or simply kick back at the hostel.

Day 7: Adio Slovenia, Ciao Italy!

This morning we'll be making our way into Italy but before we cross over the border, we'll be stopping by Kozjak waterfall followed by driving through the picturesque wine region Goriška Brda aka Slovenia's little Tuscany.

As we drive into Italy, our first stop will be the picturesque region of Conegliano home to rolling hills but arguably more importantly known for its prosecco which means one thing - Prosecco tasting!

Following this, we'll drive to Treviso aka Venice's little relaxed cousin where you'll have a chance to taste the OG tiramisu - yep, this is home to the restaurant that has claimed where tiramisu comes from!

Day 8: Venice & Burano

This morning, we’ll head into Venice and have a walking tour through some of the 'must see' spots including the bustling Rialto Market, Ponte di Rialto, St Mark’s Basilica & Doge's palace while learning about this floating island.

This afternoon we'll leave behind the hustle and bustle of the main island and hop on a ferry over to Burano - home to colourful houses and picturesque landscapes.

Day 9: Choose Your Own Venetian Adventure

Today it’s your free day to explore Venice at your own pace. Whether you hop on a gondola, join an optional Nonna’s cooking class, sip an espresso or spritz in a tucked away piazza or get lost in the maze of alleys and canals - it's your call.

Day 10: Ciao Italy

Enjoy a final breakfast and espresso together as we say arrivederci this morning. Passengers have an optional drop off at Venice (VCE) Airport after the tour concludes (approx. 9am).
