What To Expect

Ljubljana Old Town

Ljubljana, the capital and largest city in Slovenia, is the cultural, educational, economic, political and administrative centre of the country. It is renowned for its rich history, which is reflected in the unique architectural heritage. Its old town centre is embraced by Ljubljana Castle and the river Ljubljanica where the feeling of the city is the strongest. On your trip, you will encounter ancient and modern architecture. You will visit the old town center where you will admire the works of the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, who took an important part in designing the Ljubljana’s most famous bridges, town squares and parks. In a little more than three decades, Jože Plečnik transformed Ljubljana from a provincial city to the capital of the Slovene nation and reshaped the urban part of the city. His influence can be felt everywhere, but mostly along the river Ljubljanica. On your trip, you will visit some of the most interesting buildings and monuments, such as the Ljubljana Town Hall, the Triple Bridge, the Shoemakers’ Bridge, Ljubljana Cathedral, the Robba Fountain, Prešeren Square, Congress Square and other attractions. The symbol of the city is the Ljubljana Dragon. It is depicted on the top of the tower of Ljubljana Castle and on the Ljubljanica - crossing Dragon Bridge. It symbolizes power, courage and greatness.

Lake Bled

Bled is an Alpine town which represents one of the oldest and most beautiful tourist destinations in Slovenia. Its main attraction is the lake which surrounds Bled Island. The island has several buildings, the main one being the Gothic church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The church has a make-a-wish bell and is frequently visited by newlyweds and other guests. Lake Bled will certainly leave you speechless since it offers various sport activities and represents a place where you can spend the most romantic moments of your life. On the trip, you will walk around the lake enjoying the fresh alpine air and watching swans and ducks at play. Also, you will admire Bled Castle built on a precipice above the glacial lake which according to written sources is the oldest Slovene castle. At the end, you will pass by some other local monuments and refresh ourselves with a delicious vanilla and custard cream cake called cremeschnitte (kremšnita). You will also have a chance to take some beautiful photos of the lake, island, castle and the nearby Alps.

Ester was very knowledgeable and spoke fluent English. Gave us good information and tips. The weather was chilly but we tried to make the most of it. Wish we had more time maybe hour or two but overall very happy. Safe driver and answered all questions.

We really enjoyed Lake Bled and loved Ljubiana. Our tour guide Tina was terrific and really knew the area. She took us on a walking tour of Ljubiana and we had enough free time to eat and explore on our own.
Serene Slovenia

A beautiful journey to Slovenia. We met the driver at the waterfront and made our way to Lake Bled. Serene is the best word to describe Lake Bled. We had 75-minutes to explore Lake Bled which is ample time to stroll around the lake and enjoy the traditional custard Slovenian cake. We made our way to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. We had about 90minutes which is ample time to stroll the streets of the city. It’s very picturesque. This is not a guided tour of Slovenia, it is merely a drop off and pick up at each point, however ample history and culture of each place and sites is provided in the drive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time visiting Slovenia. Both places are small and the yo e at each place I felt was lore than ample.
Overall good tour but long drive and bus not comfortable

Would have liked a bit of commentary on the drive from Trieste, Italy to Slovenia. A small break to grab something to eat would be good too.

A beautiful day of sightseeing but would be better to do Lake Bled only and have more time there. We didn’t have enough time to climb up to the Castle as it takes over an hour to walk around the Lake. And one also has to stop for lunch and enjoy the local delicacy, Kremsnita. Our guide, Ernest, was friendly and knowledgeable, and really looked after us, offering good advice at our stops in Ljubljana and Lake Bled so we could make the most of our time there.
Great trip to Slovenia
