Smooth running tour

5.00Well organised tour. Informative and passionate tour guide, Katia. Unfortunately Lake Bled was covered in fog on the day we went but that’s at no fault of the company. Ljubljana town was charming and we enjoyed our time exploring both towns on our own accord.
Stunning views, smooth ride, amazing guide

5.00Well organized trip and an easy way to see Slovenia from Zagreb. Booking and pickup were straightforward and everything went as planned. Our guide was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of both Croatia and Slovenia. The drive in the van was comfortable, and the small group size made the experience feel personal. Ljubljana is a charming city, and we had just enough time to explore. Lake Bled was truly magical, the views from the castle are breathtaking! Make sure to try the famous Bled cream cake. Even though it’s a full-day trip, it didn’t feel rushed. A perfect way to see two beautiful places in one day.
Magical Day Trip to Slovenia

5.00To begin, Pegasus is best for cosy tours. Bojan was our guide for the day. His knowledge of Slovenian history and culture was enlivened by personal anecdotes, which gave the tour an individual flavour not otherwise experienced on larger mass tours. He was also forthcoming with answers to questions we had. The entire tour duration was just right and the timings given for each stop (Bled and Ljubljana) are reasonable. Pegasus is definitely a tour operator worth supporting!
Beautiful views and beautiful Ljubljana

5.00Loved 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!
