Wonderful Day Trip to Ljubljana & Lake Bled

5.00I had a wonderful experience on the Ljubljana & Lake Bled small group trip from Zagreb. Both places were absolutely beautiful and well worth visiting. Our driver and guide, Renato, was the best. He shared so many interesting historical and cultural facts throughout the day, which made the trip even more meaningful. Renato was also a very safe driver, kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. He made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of from start to finish. The whole experience was smooth, enjoyable, and very memorable. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zagreb who wants to see beautiful Slovenia in a relaxed and well-organized way.

5.00This was a lovely day out starting at Ljubljana with lots of history and plenty of things to do and see. The castle was very interesting, reached by a very efficient funicular. Ljubljana was lovely, clean and tidy. Bled is another lovely town & we took the pletna boat to Lake Bled, which is very relaxing & the island was interesting. Our guide was brilliant, very informative and helpful and she looked after us very well.
Superb day trip

5.00Absolutely amazing day on this small group tour. Our driver and guide Maja could not have been better. She was warm welcoming and friendly, knowing exactly when to offer information and when to let us all have a snooze. The two destinations were delightful and well worth visiting. The trip allows just the right amount of time to see what is essential. I'd recommend going with the funicular option to the castle as several interesting parts of it are free and the views are superb. I also really enjoyed the boat ride to the island at Lake Bled, €20 which you pay to the boatman. Journey takes about 20 minutes and while the island is tiny it is lovely to walk around and take pictures of the church. Wonderful day all round despite some rain. Thank goodness Maja had umbrellas!
Picture Perfect

5.00This tour was a lot of fun. Slovenia is a beautiful country and walking around Ljubljana was a treat. So many picture perfect spots. Tomas our guide was great pointing out the best places to eat and take pics. He was a perfect mix of helping, giving us great information, and letting us do our own thing. Especially loved how he arranged our boat ride at Lake Bled. Such a treat to be rowed by a prior Olympian. Great day overall.
A perfect day in Slovenia

5.00Our tour guide Maya was fantastic. The car ride was easy and we got lots of great recommendation about what to do to make the most of our time in each location and Zagreb. The car ride is quite long but comfortable and they break it up with the intermediate stop of Ljubljana. Lots of free time to explore each location, they answered all of our questions about what best to do and gave us a real feel for croatia as a whole.
