Loved that guided part of the tour - someone else drove to and from the area. Matt was a gracious and hilarious guide. Even had a brief nap during the 2hr drive. Stopped at Lake Bled for a tour of the castle with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area. Tried the Bled cream cake at Park Cafe. We were more amused with the robot waiter but appreciated the legendary dessert. Headed to Ljubljana and experienced this fascinating city. Toured the castle and walked the charming city with its Christmas markets after having a traditional meal at Sokol. Would gladly go back and spend more time touring the historic churches and buildings around the town.
What a fantastic tour experience!

What a wonderful day tour to Ljubljana and Lake Bled. From initial booking and contact to the tour guide and actual day itself, could not have been better planned and executed. Pegasus Tours, thank you so much, we’ll certainly remember the experience fondly. Well done.
