5.00Great tour of Lake Bled and Ljubljana. The lake was magical this time year! I’m so glad we took the boat tour to the island. You need to ring the church bell! I also highly recommend Domagoj, our guide and driver rolled into one. He was a safe driver and gave us an informative tour of the city. Thanks, Dom! You are an asset to your company.
This is an all-day van...

5.00This is an all-day van tour of two very pretty places —. Ljubljana a clean, pleasant university town, and Lake Bled an impossibly picturesque mountain lake straight out of Goethe or Wordsworth. Our guide Antonio was most solicitous for our comfort, but the drive from Zagreb is more than two hours. If you want to visit those places, your best bet is probably to fly there and stay overnight.
Great scape from Zagreb to Slovenia

5.00Ljubljana is a very historic place, great city to eat or just grab a coffee or beer. Love the farmers market of the place and if you walk to the castle will see an amazing view of the city. Blend city is just perfect to relax the views are like if it were a postcard. Our tour guide(sadly don’t remember the name) was excellent, very knowledgeable and fun to travel with.
Fantastic day out at Lake Bled

5.00Really great experience with a very polite, friendly & informative guide, António ☺️ Lake Bled was breathtaking & the tour was at a nice relaxed pace with just enough time at places. We did the one hour walking tour with Antonio in Ljubljana & had time to ourselves for lunch in the quaint city of Ljubljana & got the funicular up the castle. Really enjoyed Lake bled with the pletna boat ride & last stop off at Bled castle. Highly recommend this day out ☺️
Awesome Slovenia

5.00The entire experience was wonderful. We got to travel with 2 other friendly couples from Australia. Our driver Antonio was great and knowledgeable about the places we visited and it made our visit more enjoyable. It was our first time visiting Ljubiana and Bled and we were blown away by it's sheer beauty. It is definitely a place worth revisiting.

5.00If you are short on time, this is a great way to see 2 beautiful spots (Ljubljana, Bled) in Slovenia from Zagreb. Dom was our chauffeur and tour guide. Though it was a cold sunny day, he kept us warm with information and safe driving. In Bled, we did the boat tour to the church on the island (Euro 20 cash / person) and the tour of the castle (Euro 18 / person).
Great Day Tour and Great Tour Guide

5.00Antonio was an excellent tour guide! In Ljubljana he gave us a walking tour and explained the history and geography of the region. It was like an art and architectural street tour! Then we had time on our own to explore. The meeting place was easy to get back to. Then we went to Bled Lake which was beautiful. Some people went on the boat ride and I chose to walk the pathway around the lake. Our last stop was the castle with the great view of the area. It was so beautiful and just enough time to see everything. It was a perfect day tour and Antonio’s knowledge of the area brought it to life. Great day!
Antonio was fantastic....

5.00Antonio was fantastic. Had lots of good information to share about Ljubjlana, Slovenia and Lake Bled. Made sure we knew the best places to go. We decided to do the Lake Bled Castle which was 18 Euros, which is expensive for what the structure itself is, but the view of the lake from there was spectacular. We had a great trip.
Great day trip to Slovenia

5.00Excellent guide, one hour guided tour if Ljubljana plus 2 hrs solo which was perfect. Lake Bled is like a fairytale. Definitely pay for the boat trip to the island and pay to go into the church to ring the bell. Bled castle also great for views and cream cake.
