3.00Average tour. The destination is beautiful but we felt the structure of the morning was poor. The driver was very pleasant and gave a bit of a commentary on the way to Lake Bled. However we were in the back seat and couldn’t hear properly. He needed a microphone. First stop was the castle for the view. This required an additional payment of €20 each which included a coffee and cake. Didn’t really need a slice of rich cake just after breakfast ! Next stop was the lake shore to take an optional trip out to the island for a further €17. We’d heard it wasn’t worth going so elected to walk the 6km around the lake which we really enjoyed. On the way we passed a path up to the castle, which I’m sure would have provided great views across the lake rather than going into the castle itself. We got back to the minibus when it was time to leave, and were driven back to our starting point at French Revolution Square where we had planned to have lunch at the Le Petite Cafe ( a fantastic venue). The driver was obviously running behind time and asked if we’d mind being dropped in the city. We declined as we had organised to have lunch, and our accommodation was nearby. So unfortunately we can’t rate this too highly. You can get a bus to Bled from the bus station and do this yourself for a fraction of the cost.
Excellent Tour
