Hope all is well. I did email directly with a number of comments regarding the Slovenia trip, but I've not heard back. The main thrust was that despite lovely people , great food the walking was highly disappointing and nothing like the fabulous walking experience in the Alps with Marit.

Hi Karen Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I’m sorry I haven’t replied to your email yet. As you know I have been with the LJD in Morocco since we were with you in Slovenia. And yes the topography of the mountains of Slovenia is very different from the Alps. Very beautiful but not as challenging. We would be delighted to welcome you back to the Alps again some time. I agree, walking with Marit is always a delight! Very best wishes Mairi

We had a lovely time with a fun group. The accommodation was very comfortable, with really delicious food (very tasty picnic lunches too), relaxing yoga and nice walks. The swim in Lake Bled was a highlight. It was good to spend a night in Ljubljana too, perfect for wandering. A wonderful introduction to beautiful Slovenia.

This was my third Joly Dames trip - the Alps, Morocco and Slovenia. Each experience has been life-affirming and special - the people, the walking, the food, the chat, the yoga, the environment, the accommodation. Every element needed to make a truly successful four days. But the most important element was the magic provided by Mairi, Suzanna, Rosie and the guides; their kindness and concern for our wellbeing was like being enveloped in a huge caring hug.

Dear Amanda We so love that you have been to all three of our Joly Dames destinations. The “huge caring hug” comment made us very happy — that really is what we hope you feel when you are with us. We love creating these weekends, but it’s the Dames who make them what they are. Thank you for being part of it, and here’s to the next adventure! ❤️ Much love Mairi

Thank you for a wonderful time., I so enjoyed my trip to Slovenia with Les Joly Dames. Mairi and Susannah were very kind hosts and looked after us all beautifully, it was very relaxing and a great group of lovely women. We had lots of laughs! Highlights were the yoga with Susannah, delicious veggie food every evening, perfect picnics for lunch, lovely views of the mountains, swimming in Lake Bled and the best birthday cake I’ve ever tasted! I would definitely recommend and hope to try another trip soon.
