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.

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!
Slovenia is beautiful

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.
First class tour! Fabulous guide

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.
Beautiful Slovenia

5.00Our guide, Isador (not sure if I spelled it correctly!) was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He was very caring about everyone in the group and made sure we had enough time for each site we visited. The last thing you’d want to feel on a tour, is being rushed and we did not get that at all. I def recommend this day tour if you want to see some of the most beautiful parts of Slovenia at a very comfortable pace! Thank you again, Isador!

3.00For Solo trip, nice overview of Lake Bled & parts of the Triglav Park. The small group was perfect. We started directly to Bled Castle, visited Lake Bled and then onto a few lakes and surrounding areas of the Triglav Park. I would have expected more for the price as it is pretty expensive when entrance isn’t included nor is lunch.
a wonderful day in the Slovenian countryside

5.00Having arrived in Ljubljana the day before and ben blown away by our first impression of the city we were not sure if this prearranged trip was the best way to spend the 2.5 days available. We wrong to doubt. Like Bled and views from the castle were stunning, we did not take the boat to the island but opted to walk part way around the Lake and admire the tranquility and different perspectives of the island. Then onto the National park, with its majestic peaks and bucolic scenery , mountains and tarns. stopping off on the way at an inn for local beer, sausages and sauerkraut It was a full day trip, the van was comfortable and our guide engaging. Would highly recommend
