Ljubljana Old Town

Ljubljana, the capital and largest city in Slovenia, is the cultural, educational, economic, political and administrative centre of the country. It is renowned for its rich history, which is reflected in the unique architectural heritage. Its old town centre is embraced by Ljubljana Castle and the river Ljubljanica where the feeling of the city is the strongest. On your trip, you will encounter ancient and modern architecture. You will visit the old town center where you will admire the works of the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, who took an important part in designing the Ljubljana’s most famous bridges, town squares and parks. In a little more than three decades, Jože Plečnik transformed Ljubljana from a provincial city to the capital of the Slovene nation and reshaped the urban part of the city. His influence can be felt everywhere, but mostly along the river Ljubljanica. On your trip, you will visit some of the most interesting buildings and monuments, such as the Ljubljana Town Hall, the Triple Bridge, the Shoemakers’ Bridge, Ljubljana Cathedral, the Robba Fountain, Prešeren Square, Congress Square and other attractions. The symbol of the city is the Ljubljana Dragon. It is depicted on the top of the tower of Ljubljana Castle and on the Ljubljanica - crossing Dragon Bridge. It symbolizes power, courage and greatness.

Janiz our guide was good. Lake Bled is very pretty but would book an excursion to go to the island church. Long bus ride from the port.
Great excursion

This was a great tour. Our guide, Janus, was friendly and very knowledgeable. He provided lots of interesting information about past and present Slovenia. Lake Bled was beautiful and we had plenty of time to look around and take pictures. The drive from Koper was very scenic. Ljubljana was a pretty, historic city and after the tour of the Old Town we had time on our own to explore.
A beautiful day at Lake Bled and Ljubljana......

Our guide for this tour was Vesna, and she did an excellent job. Vesna did a great job throughout the day in providing commentary on the bus as we drove to our destinations. She was willing to take questions, and she interacted with the driver as well to provide interesting facts. Lake Bled is a pretty place. You're essentially there to see the castle and views around the lake, and to optionally enjoy the cream cake and a coffee. If you choose to have the cake, go to the restaurant right away. No walking around the lake, no pictures - go. Why? Because the restaurant has limited seating, and it takes time for your order to come out, so if you delay you're going to have a tough time meeting up with the guide on time and proceeding to Ljubljana. You'll have time to take the picures you want - but do it after your cake and coffee. Ljubljana is a pretty city, and the pedestrian walkway next to the river is a great spot to sit and have a beer and relax. If you want to do some shopping, or take the cable car, you won't have time for the beer - it's either or. Plan accordingly. Be aware that the drive on the bus is two hours each way up to Lake Bled - you're on the bus for a long time. In summary: It was a fun day - we enjoyed it. Manage your time carefully, plan, and you'll get to do what you want and still meet up with your guide on time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional comments: If you see any reviews for this tour complaining about not having enough time to see Lake Bled and Ljubljana, ignore them - they're probably written by the people who caused the issue in the first place. On our tour, 14 people showed up on time, and 3 people were 30 minutes late. I wish the tour had left without them, but it didn't. Then at Lake Bled, 4 people were again 30 minutes late meeting up with the tour guide. So......the majority of the group could read a watch and manage their time and show up on schedule. A small number couldn't, and took an hour away from the rest of the group's time. Not fair. Don't be the a**hole - manage your time, watch the clock, and be at the meeting spots on time or early. Thank you.....
The guide (Dean) made the trip!

Would really say 4, but the guide (Dean) was excellent, so I kept it at 5. I wish we had 15 more minutes in Lake Bled to be able to visit either the castle or the church, but they pad the time based on ship departure and traffic. Additionally, the parking was terrible in Ljubljana, so we missed out on the walking tour. Dean gave a quick description because he didn’t want to waste our time driving around, and told us to take pictures of anything we wanted more information on.

Perfect day tour of Slovenia of the 2 places we wanted to see. Tadej picked us up at the ship port in a newer air conditioned van and provided us with history lessons and real insight into the Slovenian culture and lifestyle. He answered our many questions with valuable insight and patience and gave us tips for food to try, paths to walk and structures to visit. It was the best tour we have had!

My wife and I had a brilliant day out with Dean our guide for the day. We were picked up from the port in Koper for a trip to see Lake Bled and Ljubljana This is a beautiful county and such welcoming people. Dean hosted the trip in very knowledgeable way with the added humour and passion for his job. A great day out to see Slovenia.
Great All Day Tour!

My group of five had a tour today with Ernie and it was perfect. Ernie's passion for his homeland made us appreciate it's history and it's beauty. One afternoon visiting Ljudbljana and Lake Bled is not nearly enough for this lovely country. After our walking tours with Ernie, armed with his background and suggestions, we had some time to explore on our own. Ernie's candor about his own life enhanced our experience.
Amazing day seeing a new country

This tour was a fantastic opportunity to see a bit of Slovenia before our cruise from Trieste. The tour was in 8 seater vans (not a huge tour bus) - 3 vans on our day. So a nice small group of people. The tour guides provided great information and we fun. We got a nice chance to visit lake bled without major crowds of a tour bus. And the capital city was beautiful and fascinating. I’d definitely recommend this tour (instead of one off the cruise ship which had FOUR huge tour busses going so the crowds were crazy).
Excellent day trip to Slovenia from Trieste

Comfortable 8 seat van with good aircon. Our English speaking guide Matt had good knowledge of Slovenia and the specific sights in Bled and Ljubljana. The stop at Lake Bled gave plenty of time for photos and a visit to a local cafe to have Kremsnita (the local cream and custard slice). The tour route included a circuit of Lake Bled which gave further photo opportunities of the Church of the Assumption of Mary. The walking tour of the Ljubljana old town included the main sights of Preseren Square, the Triple Bridges, Dragon Bridge, Congress Square and Saint Nicholas Church (outside only). Note: Ljubljana Castle is not on the itinerary but overlooks the old town and good pics are possible from Congress Square. Some free time in Ljubljana allowed us to visit a local restaurant for a late lunch. The central pickup location in Trieste at Hotel Savoie Excelsior was convenient being a 10 min walk from our accommodation.
