From the first email contact to the last goodbye, the services of Movis Private Tours has been exceptional and beyond reproach. Each hotel room was perfect, interesting, and well placed in each town. From the middle of a vineyard, to the center of the old section of town; each having their own character only added to the great experience. The gastronomic meals were beyond our culinary expectations (and often beyond our abilities to finish as well). Žiga, our personal guide/host/driver was a real pleasure to spend our time during the tours. He is very knowledgeable, speaks multiple languages and courteous to the needs of his clients. Movis Tours provided an excellent itinerary that had us traveling throughout the country trying wines, foods and culture. The specialty guides in the big cities were very much appreciated for their intimate knowledge of the history of each town.
We have a deep respect for the history that Slovenia has occurred and look forward to coming back in the near future.
