What To Expect
Bled Castle (Blejski Grad)
Bled castle is the oldest Slovenian castle and currently one of the most visited tourist attractions in Slovenia. The castle houses a museum collection that traces the lake’s history from earliest times to the development of Bled as a resort in the 19th century. Castle restaurant offers taking coffee or famous Bled cake while enjoying an exceptional breath-taking view.
Lake Bled
Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful spots in Slovenia and is often the literal poster child for Slovenia tourism. In fact, it must also be a contender to be one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Europe! Not only is the lake itself serene and peaceful, but it features not one but two iconic landmarks: a island topped with in the middle of the lake and a fairytale castle on a hill.

5.00Josip was an awesome driver & guide. Communication for pick up was done well. What’s app really help when abroad. He drove us to Bled Lake first and that place was postcard perfect. Then we went to Ljubljana and he showed us where to get lunch which is awesome & food was delicious. He has a lot of stories & experiences shared with us which made us comfortable with him. His clients that day was only me & my hubby. The two places we went we’re never crowded which is a good thing coz i hate crowds. Tho, a lot of the shops are closed for the season, the ones that are opened are good enough to ahop for souvenirs.

5.00Spectacular tour with beautiful stops at Lake Bled and Ljubljana. The scenery was amazing and Ljubljana looks like a city created by Disney. It was a fairy tale town. My driver, Josep was very professional, welcoming and kind. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. I truly enjoyed this experience and consider it a MUST DO if you are in Zagreb.
Great Experience

5.00After loads of research I decided to chose this day tour to Lake Bled and Ljubljana. Josip picked me up on time and made the journey very pleasant. The trip starts from the castle at the Lake and then you go down to Lake Bled. This is the best way as you arrive when it is less busy and you avoid all the traffic. Josip is very flexible and if you want to spend more ir less time somewhere he will adjust the tour to your requirements. If you visit Zagreb its the best tour to chose and visit also Slovenia which is couple of hours away.
Great Driving and Ride to Slovenia (don't expect any tour guiding)

3.00We went to all the spots in the tour description but received very limited insights into what we were seeing. Our tour guide and driver (Josip) was a nice person with clear communication in English. We were particular impressed by his puntuality ... always on time and responsive via whatsapp. He was also a very good and safe driver. As a result, we would rank him 5/5 as a "driver". But as a tour guide, Josip appeared to have very limited knowledge or simply was not interested to share much insights into what we actually saw. At Bled, he simply sent us off to the castle and the boat tour by ourselves. There was absolutely no "tour guiding" at all. While we thought that it was very strange, we excused him in our mind (thinking that he was not supposed to accompany us on these activities). But then we saw other tour guides providing local narratives to their tourists at these places. At Ljubljana, there was no "entry fees". He again just left us to walk around the town after a few short commentaries. As a "tour guide", Josip would rank 1/5. We try to be reasonable so would give a 3/5. Frankly, if you need a ride to these places, then by all means join this tour. If you expect to learn about these places, good luck.
