What To Expect
Lake Bled
One of Slovenia’s most enchanting attractions is undoubtedly Bled Island, a picturesque gem nestled in the clear blue waters of Lake Bled. Visitors can take a scenic rowboat ride to the island, where they can ring the famous wishing bell nestled within the Church of the Assumption, a charming 17th-century church that stands as a symbol of hope and dreams. As you make your way up the steps to the church, take a moment to absorb the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, including the majestic medieval Bled Castle perched dramatically on a cliff above the lake. Your visit wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the local delicacy, kremšnita—a delicious cream cake that has become synonymous with Bled. This delightful dessert features a light and airy custard layered between crisp pastry, offering a taste of pure bliss that perfectly complements the stunning lakeside setting.
Triglav
Experience the untouched beauty of the Radovna Valley, nestled deep in Triglav National Park. This tranquil alpine road winds along the majestic north face of Mount Triglav. Be surrounded by towering peaks, lush meadows, and pure mountain air. It’s a route few tourists know—and one you’ll never forget.

Intimate tour and fun experience

5.00Fantastic experience. Our guide Jan was so chill and equally loved The Strokes which was a plus as we got to listen in the van ride. Got to spend lots of time in each stop and Lake Bled was stunning. My only gripe is I wish we got to see a higher view of Triglav but overall a great experience.
The Slovenian Alps

4.00This was a very well designed trip getting to two different areas of great scenic beauty and some interesting side stops as well, in a way one could never have done on ones own. Compared to similar trips I have done in Italy and Greece it was somewhat expensive. The guide was well informed on the sites and sights we went to see however he overdid his role with comments of a political nature which were unwarranted and which as an historian myself, were not always accurate. However I wished to avoid confrontation and remained silent. This marred what would otherwise have been a splendid outing.
Absolutely professional and recommendable

5.00Absolutely professional and wonderful. Central pickup (you can use the restroom at the hotel across the street). The guide shared everything there is to know through a radio microphone in the van (up to 8 people). We now know everything about the land and its people, from the past and present. At the beginning, he shared the plan with us and left us all the freedom. In Bled: Castle, boat, lake, or more. None of our group wanted the boat. Some got off at the castle and had 1 hour there and 1.5 hours at the lake to walk around. I walked around the lake for 3 hours and thought it was too long, but it was perfect. We were in contact via WhatsApp regarding possible changes to the plan. After that, at the next stop, there was 1 hour for eating or strolling as desired. He gave us tips on where to find things, and everyone could do what they wanted. After that, it continued like this. He brought us to the next stop, told us, and said where we could go. I found it to be an absolutely well-rounded tour.
Fantastic day out

5.00We had a fantastic day out travelling around and seeing the beautiful lakes and mountains of Slovenia. We had plenty of time available at each location and our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Lake Bled and Bled castle are a must!

5.00We highly recommend this day trip. We saw some of the most beautiful sights that we have seen anywhere in the world and learnt so much about the history of this small but mighty country. Although it was just my partner and I, our driver/guide Tiné went above and beyond to show us a side of Slovenia that we never would have experienced otherwise. He was extremely knowledgeable and was both professional and easy going. The van was comfortable. It was a fantastic day and the memories we made will stay with us forever!

5.00Tomas (sp?) was a wonderful guide and knew the area well. He took us to a great place for lunch and to a number of Alpine ski facilities, too. Very interesting. Highly recommended.

5.00Brilliant full day tour of Bled and the region. Tour guide …did not catch his name …began with G…rugby player 😃. He was great and we really felt we got to know the country. He took us to see the location of the ski jumping and we saw people practicing …amazing. Lake Bled and the castle were beautiful. Pick was very efficient. Even though it was raining, it was still a great day.

5.00A fabulous trip. We had a magnificent guide who is called Nina. What a wealth of information. She made the entire day so interesting. That’s quite a part from having seen the lake and the castle which were in their own right two highlights.
