4.00The tour was very good Our driver was v chatty but very knowledgeable and interesting At lake bled we went to the island - 45 minutes on it when really needed 20 Then drive round lake- which was awesome Then went to Bled castle - very impressive views but again didn’t really need 50 minutes there Well worth the visit but note the fees for the island (19euro) and castle (20 euro) not included in tour price- which was stated. Also need cash to pay for these tickets

5.00We started doing the tour to Lake Bled with Vanessa I don't remember the name in her idiona pardon) and although we were accompanied by the weather she made us have such a good time that we asked if we could seguit and do the tour to the castle and caves of Postojna with her and she arranged it! Besides giving us a lot of information about Slovemia, she was such a good guide, always attentive, loving that made us have a great time! Thank you so much for everything Vanessa

3.00Ok tour, however price is a bit high given the fact that nothing is included so you're paying only for a shuttle. Its nearly 60 EUR to do all the interesting aspects of the tour, fee to get into castle, fee for boat to island, fee to get into church on the island, non of which are included in tour price. Would only recommend if there is no cheaper option to visit Lake Bled and Castle Bled.
Great half day trip

5.00Our tour guide Gor was very knowledgeable and shares a great amount of information on our location. We had a pleasant and safe trip to lake Bled. We opted to skip the castle. But took the boat ride to Bled island. It was a beautiful day to be on the water. The instructions were clear on pick up and drop off.
