A great day out and easy way to see as much of the area as possible when only staying for 2 days. A very comfortable drive in air conditioned minibus. The timings were great, never felt rushed and plenty of time to enjoy each location. Option to have lunch at a local restaurant which was great. Our guide was friendly and informative at just the right level. Highly recommend!
This was an amazing day out! The hike to the waterfall and to Ojstrica view point are not easy if you’re not that active (like me!) but VERY worth it once you get to the top! Lake Bohinj is gorgeous and we had a lovely lunch together as a group organised by Milo. Lake Bled is the highlight (if you can pick a highlight from all the beautiful sites). I would definitely recommend doing the hike to the view point and having a swim in the lake. Milo was a fantastic guide, we weren’t rushed and he was so friendly and knowledgeable of all of the sites on the tour. I went solo and is a great way to see some of the hotspots of Slovenia with a lovely group of people. Can’t wait to come back!
This is the perfect day in Slovenia. Marco ensured everything ran smoothly. There are a number of steps up to the waterfall so bring sturdy shoes and be prepared for some exercise. The lakes were beautiful - they save the best for last with Lake Bled. (Tip: get the cream cake from the green building and eat it by the lake.) After the tour, Marco reached out with an itinerary of things to do in Ljubljana after we mentioned we hadn’t had time to explore the city yet, which was not in his job description! He went above and beyond, and we very much appreciated it. Book this trip!
Milo was great. Very responsive, with good information and responsible. Personally, I would prefer to spend more time on the lakes than the waterfall. But maybe just a personal preference.
It was just a PERFECT DAY! We visited some real highlights, had enough time for the different hikes and activities at the stops and a great guide (Marko) who was super kind, informative and attentive. The group was small (five people in a car) and we had super conditions (sunshine all day). The absolute highlight was saved for last (clever!): Bled with a hike to Ojstrica, a stunning view point over the lake and the perfect, refreshing swimming in the coral blue lake after that hike… it can’t be better and you can’t be in better hands. A strong recommendation!
Exactly the tour you are looking for - Milo was very professional, and had great recommendations and suggestions to get the most out of your time. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic day on the day trip to Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj and Waterfall Savica Tour. Milo was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He shared great local insights, kept the day well-paced, and ensured everyone had a memorable experience. Highly recommend!
Very relaxed day so that we could reach the amazing viewpoint with plenty of time to also swim in Lake Bled and eat special Bled cake. Our guide Marko was always helpful, pleasant, gave tips and was on time eith the tricky parking that needs to be done to Pick a group up
The lakes and the waterfalls are all natural wonders of incredible beauty, but what makes this spectacular is the tour guide. Milos is a genuinely kind and personable guide who makes you feel like a member of the family. He’s a very safe driver in extremely comfortable Mercedes van. I never felt rushed or like we were going at a break next speed. THIS is the tour to book to see the lakes from Ljubljana.
Waterfall and two really beautiful lakes and local food. Our guides Milan and Marco did a really good work and helped with everything.
