5.00A great tour! A perfect way to see much of Slovenia in a day. We spent the right amount of time at each location. We enjoyed the beauty of Lake Bled and their local pastry as well walking around the beautiful city center of Ljubljana.
Great day in Slovenia

5.00We booked this private tour just 2 days before our port day in Koper after our other tour cancelled on us. Marco was waiting for us off the ship and off we went to Lake Bled. It was a great day and he helped us figure out the best way to spend our time. We visited Bed Castle, got Bled cream cake and saw the beautiful views of the lake. We then headed to Ljubljana and enjoyed walking around the old town. Marco told us lots of Slovenian history and facts, it was a great day!
We loved our day

5.00Our guide, Primos (spelling?) was outstanding! He shared facts and stories about the places we visited and modified our tour when we were too tired to do much more walking. He is rightfully very proud of his city, Lyubljana, and made us feel like we were visiting a friend showing off his hometown. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you for a memorable day!
Great guide - beautiful landscape

3.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a lot of great information on the country. My only issue is that Lake Bled was too far a drive from the port (110min) for what we did. The boat ride to the island was lovely but not worth the long drive. Ljubljana was a lovely city and definitely worth the visit. It was just over an hour from the port.
Great tour day!

5.00Our guide Poilez, was right outside our ship ready to take us. He spoke great English and was very informative. He suggested an itinerary to maximize our time. Everyone had a great time and we were back at the ship in plenty of time! Would definitely recommend this tour group.
Great shore excursion in Slovenia

5.00Istranka's tour made it possible for us to see both Lake Bled and Ljubljana during our cruise stop in Koper - our cruise ship could provide excursions to one or the other but not both. We had great pre-tour email communications with Ivan, who quickly and smoothly confirmed our reservation and whose kiosk was as promised impossible to miss as we left the cruise terminal, and Marco was a terrific driver and guide who was perfectly flexible with us as we visited Lake Bled and Ljubljana. Our group of two retired couples was very comfortable in the minivan, and our strolls at both tour stops (and nice breaks for coffee and a local lunch) were delightful, with time to enjoy the beautiful lake scenery and a surprisingly gorgeous city, and great commentary and advice (like don't miss the local specialty, cream cake :}) from Marco. Very well done!
This was the best day of a two week trip. Try to get Marco. He’s unbelievable.

5.00Marco is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Slovenia and Europe in general regarding the history and how all the countries relate to each other. Lake bled and Ljubjlana were gorgeous must see places in Europe.
