FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Itinerary

Day 1

Welcome to Slovenia

Check in

Roundtrip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. Check in to your hotel in Ljubljana and it’s time to start our tour right… with food of course! Tonight is your welcome dinner. On the menu, kranjska klobasa with Žganci (traditional sausage with polenta), or maybe baked trout.  Whatever the choice, this will be the perfect opportunity to break the ice and get to know your fellow WeRoaders!

Day 2

Hiking and nature

Nature and adventure
The village of Velika Planina and Logarska Valley

After a hearty breakfast, it’s time to pick up the rental cars and head out into nature. Our first stop is Velika Planina, one of Europe's few surviving high mountain herdsmen's villages where traditional Alpine herdsman's culture is still alive. We could hop on the cable cars to reach the top of the mountain and enjoy a beautiful hike on the green pastures, surrounded by cows! We’ll then continue towards the Logar Valley, where you can choose how to spend the rest of your day. Relaxing in the sun? Hiking to Rinka Waterfall? A bike ride in the mountains? The choice is yours, but you’ll definitely come home completely refreshed!

Day 3

Between the two lakes

Nature and adventure
Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled

Good morning WeRoaders! Our day starts with a visit to Lake Bohinj, the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. We can hike a short distance to reach Savica Waterfall, or maybe head to Vintgar Gorge, a canyon carved by the Radovna River. Then it's time for a picnic surrounded by this beautiful landscape to refuel for the rest of the day!

After lunch we’ll head to the more famous Lake Bled. The lake is encircled by the Julian Alps, which are reflected in the clear waters. It will honestly make you feel like you are standing in the middle of a postcard! We can take a hike around the lake, or maybe a boat ride to the little island right in the middle of the lake, to visit the beautiful castle.

Day 4

More nature… and a bit of adventure!

Nature and adventure
Bovec and the Soča River

Let’s have a light breakfast today because we are about to drive up a winding mountain road through Vršič Pass, and finally reach Bovec. If we don't feel like taking this winding, panoramic route, we can always opt for an easier alternative road. Bovec is a lively town surrounded by the beautiful Julian Alps. The Soča River runs through the valley and with its vibrant emerald green colour, it gives the whole landscape a picture perfect look!

Ready for some rafting?

The Soča River will be the backdrop for our next adventure. Have you ever been rafting? It’s the best way to descend the river so get ready for a day full of fun and adrenaline!

Day 5

The Wonderful Underground World of the Postojna Cave

Nature and adventure
Monuments and history
The Wonderful Underground World of the Postojna Cave

On our final day in Slovenia, we journey from towering peaks to the depths of the Earth! Our adventure begins at the breathtaking Postojna Cave, a mesmerising underground world filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites. After uncovering all its secrets, we hop back in the car and head to Ljubljana, where we’ll return our rental cars and soak up the city’s vibrant atmosphere one last time. As the evening unfolds, we’ll wander through the lively pedestrian streets and indulge in a farewell feast of traditional dishes—the perfect way to toast our unforgettable trip!

Day 6

Until next time

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

About Slovenia

What are the entry requirements for Slovenia?

If you are a UK citizen, to find out the entry requirements for Slovenia, you can check this informational page from our partner Sherpa. If you need a visa, you can apply for it through Sherpa. If you are not a UK citizen, you can still use Sherpa by changing the nationality in the 'Passport' section.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Slovenia – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

What's the time zone in Slovenia?

Slovenia is in the Central European Time zone, which is UTC plus 1 hour. If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 1pm in Slovenia. During daylight saving time, Slovenia observes Central European Summer Time, which is UTC plus 2 hours. So, if it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 2pm there. In the USA, if it is 12pm Eastern Time, it will be 6pm in Slovenia, or 7pm during daylight saving time. Remember to adjust your watches or devices when traveling.

Which currency is used in Slovenia?

Slovenia uses the Euro as its currency. You can exchange other currencies like GBP, USD, and EUR at banks, exchange offices, or at the airport. The daily exchange rate varies, so it's a good idea to check online or at a local bank for the most accurate rates before you travel.

How can I pay in Slovenia?

In Slovenia, you can pay using cash, credit cards, and debit cards. Major credit cards like Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted, especially in larger cities and tourist areas. However, it's a good idea to carry some cash for smaller towns or markets where card payments might not be possible. ATMs are easily found in urban areas for withdrawing euros. Remember to inform your bank before traveling to avoid any issues with your cards.

Do I need to tip in Slovenia?

Tipping in Slovenia is not mandatory, but it is appreciated for good service. In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving about 10 percent is a nice gesture. For taxi drivers, you might round up the fare. In hotels, it's thoughtful to give a small tip to porters or housekeeping if you're satisfied with the service. It's always up to you and how you feel about the service you received.

What's the internet like in Slovenia? Should I buy a SIM card? How available is Wi-Fi?

Slovenia is in Europe, so if you're from the EU, you can use your mobile data at no extra cost due to roaming agreements. If you're not from the EU, or you want a local option, you can buy a local SIM card or an e-SIM data plan. Providers like Telekom Slovenije, A1 Slovenia, and Telemach offer data plans that are easy to find in shops or at the airport. Wi-Fi is widely available in Slovenia, especially in cities, hotels, cafes, and restaurants, so you should have no trouble staying connected.

What language do they speak in Slovenia?

In Slovenia, the official language is Slovene. It's spoken by most of the population, and you might find it helpful to know a few colloquial expressions:

  • Hello: Zdravo
  • Thank you: Hvala
  • Please: Prosim
  • Yes: Da
  • No: Ne

These basic phrases can help you connect with locals and make your trip more enjoyable!

What kind of plugs are used in Slovenia?

In Slovenia, you'll need plugs that are Type C and Type F, which are the standard European plugs. The electric tension is 230V and the frequency is 50Hz. If you are coming from a country that uses a different plug type, we recommend you bring a universal adapter to charge your devices without any hassle.

What’s the main religion in Slovenia?

The main religion in Slovenia is Roman Catholicism. Slovenia celebrates several important religious holidays, including:

  • Christmas on December 25
  • Easter Sunday in spring
  • All Saints' Day on November 1

These holidays are widely observed, with many people attending church services and participating in traditional festivities. Remember that during these times, some shops and businesses might have reduced hours or be closed.

What should I pack for Slovenia?

Slovenia is a beautiful destination with diverse landscapes, so packing smartly is key. Here's a handy list for your backpack:

  • Clothing:
    • Light layers for varying temperatures
    • Waterproof jacket for rain
    • Swimwear for the lakes and coast
    • Warm sweater for cooler evenings
  • Shoes:
    • Comfortable walking shoes for city exploration
    • Hiking boots for trails
    • Sandals for the beach or leisure
  • Accessories and Technology:
    • Sunglasses and hat for sun protection
    • Universal power adapter
    • Portable charger for your devices
    • Camera for capturing memories
  • Toiletries and Medication:
    • Travel-sized toiletries like shampoo and toothpaste
    • Sunscreen with high SPF
    • Basic first aid kit
    • Common travel medications like pain relievers and motion sickness tablets

Consider the season you're visiting to adjust accordingly, as Slovenia can be chilly in the winter and warm in the summer.

What’s the weather like in Slovenia?

Slovenia's weather can vary quite a bit depending on the region:

  • Coastal Area: Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Best time to visit is spring and early autumn.
  • Central Slovenia, including Ljubljana: Continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. The best time is late spring to early autumn.
  • Alpine Region: Alpine climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers. Best time for winter sports is December to March, and for hiking, it's June to September.

By knowing these regional differences, you can plan your visit according to the activities and weather you prefer.

About WeRoad

Is the flight included?

Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.

Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

What is the Money Pot and how does it work?

This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!

The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. 

It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.

You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.

The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.

It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.

It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.

If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.

The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.

If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.

Which are the accepted payment methods?

We offer several payment methods to fit every need:

1. Credit or prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Scalapay up to €4,999 (only available with the “Full trip payment” option – not available with the “Deposit and balance” option; pay in 3 instalments up to €1,200 or in 4 instalments over €1,200);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4.
Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account;
5.
Welfare credit – BEFORE BOOKING, reach out to us at [email protected].

If you choose the deposit and balance option, you’ll also be able to pay the balance via bank transfer from your Personal Area.

Can I cancel or modify my booking?

Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.

If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.

You can do it directly from your personal MyWeRoad account!
 
Within your booking you will find the "Change Your Trip" section at the bottom right, just underneath your booking details. You will be able to select a different date for the same trip, or a different trip entirely. Whether you are able to change the trip depends on the cancellation terms of your booking. For your original booking if you selected the Private Room, Flexible Cancellation or entered any discount code, gift card or voucher, before confirming the change we will let you know if anything isn't applicable to the new trip and you can decide whether to proceed or not. If you have any issues please do get in touch with the WeRoad team and we'll be able to help. 
 
It's not possible to move to a 'sold out' trip and with any trips that are 'on request' we will need to check availability with our local partners so please do get in touch if you want to move to an 'on request' trip. Please bear in mind that if the trip has the 'final spots' status, there may be no places left in either the male or female room.

How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.

What type of accommodation should I expect on your trips?

In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.

The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

Why do we have the Money Pot on all WeRoad trips?

If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!

Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group. 

But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements! 

It also helps us speed up paymentsimagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.

In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants. 

The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button

which will take you to a detailed breakdown for each trip, like this:

Can I find out my travel groups' flights?

Even if we don't know the flights of all WeRoaders, there are several ways to find out which flights your travel companions have purchased.

1. Each WeRoader has the ability to communicate their flight details after booking within their personal area so that other travel companions can see the details anonymously. Enter your booking and you will find this section:
[Screenshot]

2. If you want to find out before booking, instead, you can contact us and we will support you in your search or you can ask your travel companions for direct information by joining our Facebook group 'WeRoad... let's get to know each other before leaving! (official)' – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weroadit) look for a post associated with your trip, or ask the group administrators for help in getting in touch with your future adventure companions!

If the coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you are interested in, you can easily find his/her presentation post in the group through the site: in the shift list click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip tab, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator name] about this shift in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

[screenshot]

 



What's the average size and age of a WeRoad group?

In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.

On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.

All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curious to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can see this by finding the trip on our website, and clicking the down arrow to see the ages & genders of participants. You'll need to have created a WeRoad account with us to do this.

Any issues finding this info just give our team in the office a call, we're always happy to help! 

Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.  

Can I see who’s in the group before I book the trip?

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

If a location is mentioned, is it guaranteed that we’ll spend the night there?
For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might end up staying in a nearby town — depending on logistics or the availability of our partner accommodations during the season.
 
The list of accommodations for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 2 days before departure, along with other useful info for your adventure!
Who is and what does the Travel Coordinator do?

The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!

You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

Will I share the room?

Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.

How can I be part of the community?

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
