5.00Well the weather was appalling, pouring with rain but it was still a really worthwhile trip. Nate, our guide, was excellent- funny and so knowledgeable. Loved the castle on the hill - got some very moody misty pictures of the lake and island! Recommend the boat trip to the island too. Would love to see it all on a sunny day!
A must do trip when visiting Slovenia.

5.00An amazing day out. Lake Bled was beautiful and really quiet in the morning that we went. Nate, our guide, was fun and enthusiastic, but also very knowledgeable about the area Would definitely recommend this trip.
Lake Bled & Lake Bohinj

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had the best day, even if it was very cold! With it being out of season there were only a handful of people at Lake Bled. Personally I thought Lake Bohinj was absolutely stunning, so quiet you could hear a pin drop! Our guide was full of information and great fun too, I’d highly recommend this trip ( Don’t forget the cream pie at Lake Bled !)
Wonderful day tour!

5.00It was a wonderful tour. Each stop was just the right amount of time to take-in the sights, learn more about history and have a snack. Both David and Emil guided our day and they were very knowledgeable and excellent hosts!
