5.00What a fantastic excursion. Our guide Maurizio was very knowledgeable and accomodating. We were lucky with the weather which enhances the experience. Small group is definitely the way to go.
Lake Bled and Ljubljana are beautiful and Juri is an outstanding guide and host!

5.00Juri was an outstanding guide. He picked us and one other family up at the cruise terminal and drove us to Lake Bled. The lake is beautiful and he drove us all around the lake to show us the best views for photos. Then we went to Ljubljana. I had no idea what to expect but it is a beautiful city. He gave us free time to enjoy lunch wherever we chose and then gave us a walking tour of the highlights of the beautiful city. This was one of our favorite tours during the entire 11 day cruise.
Breath taking!

5.00Be careful on the terrace taking pictures of the view. There are small steps behind you that people fall down all the time. I know because I was one of them.
Recommended if you are on a Cruise.

5.00If you are for a short time in Ljubljana, (like a cruise stop) this excursion gives you a nice, not rushed experience of this part of Slovenia. Lake Bled was stunning, we were a very small group which made it even more special. Our tour guide was phenomenal, he kept us safe and gave us very helpful tips.
Wonderful day

5.00Well paced day with the tour guide consulting with us on what we wanted to do. Everything was wonderful to see. Our tour guide was there on time, gave us lots of information about his country and clear instructions on where to meet him and the time. Worth doing this trip.
Beautiful Lake Bled

4.00This was a somewhat disappointing day tour experience. Our tour guide waited over 45 minutes for a couple from our cruise ship who got on wrong bus. Our whole day was behind from then on. personally, if I was 45 minutes late, I would never expect anybody to wait that long for me. Also, the person did not answer repeated text messages about their delay. then when they appeared, there was no apology to the other people on the tour or even the tour guide when we got to Lake Bled we had an hour to walk around and view the lake, which was not enough time to experience the boat ride or the walk to the castle so a very disappointing experience. These things were listed as options but really they were not so felt like false advertising. The trip to Lubjlana was a tad boring to me and felt like a waste. Long walk from where we parked to old town area. Spend more time at Bled and skip Lubjlana.
Fantastic views worth every penny

5.00Our tour of Lake Bled and Ljubljana with Norman was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Norman made the entire experience seamless, fun, and informative. He was punctual, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. Lake Bled was breathtaking, and Norman’s knowledge of the history and culture made the visit even more special. He knew all the best spots for photos and gave us plenty of time to explore at our own pace. In Ljubljana, he brought the city to life with fascinating stories, hidden gems, and local insights we never would have discovered on our own. What really stood out was Norman’s passion—he clearly loves what he does, and it shows. His sense of humor and approachable style made the day feel less like a tour and more like exploring with a friend who knows all the best insider tips. I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re visiting Slovenia, do yourself a favor and book with Norman—you’ll leave with unforgettable memories!
What an amazing tour and guide

5.00What an amazing experience we had on our tour. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide Yurri was amazing and was so proud of where he was from. He showed us all we wanted to know about lake bled and the town of Ljubljana. He also got us the desert cakes that were known there and they were mighty tasty! We will definitely be returning to stay there again in the near future as we were in a cruise and only had a small time frame. With that small time frame he made the best of it.
