Itinerary
After an hour and a half of driving through Croatian and Slovenian countryside and hearing all the info. about Slovenia life and culture we arrive in Ljubljana. On arrival, you will go on the orientation walking tour. Climb up to Ljubljana castle with the funicular, explore the city walls, and admire the views of the Julian Alps in the distance. Our guide has all the local insights and handy tips to leave you wanting to explore some more. The guide will show the major sites and give you some history and cultural lessons along the way. When the walking tour finishes you will have a deeper understanding of Ljubljana's landmarks and more confidence navigating on your own for the next 2 hours of your free time.
Capture the spirit of magical Lake Bled, from the hustle and bustle of Ljubljana to an image of paradise, all that in just 30 min drive. Bled Castle and Lake are sitting on the edge of the Triglav National Park located in the Julian Alps. There is so much to do at Bled, especially during the tourist season. It is impossible to see and experience everything in one afternoon, this is why your guide will help you organize time according to your preferences.
Go for a swim at the lake, ride a bicycle, sail on traditional Pletna boat to the Bled island, explore the Bled castle or just simply go for a stroll, sit at one of many bars located by the lake and enjoy traditional Bled cream cake, be hypnotized by the views of lake Bled, surrounded by stoic mountains. Unfortunately every fairy-tail has to come to an end. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a scenic ride back to Zagreb.

Wonderful day! So glad we booked this trip.
Thank you! Your satisfaction means a lot to us!
The guide was great, but for a dual visit it wasnt long enough for each visit. So I would suggest a day in each place.
Thank you for your review! Unfortunately, we could not find your booking on our passenger list, so we are sorry you left 3star review to our tour. However, all of our tours include a clear itinerary and detailed tour description in advance. The tour is planned to allow guests enough time to enjoy both destinations comfortably while returning to Zagreb in approximately 10.5 hours, with around 2.5 hours spent at each stop. Many guests find this to be a great way to experience both places in one day. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you in the future!
We has an excellent trip and our driver/guide Maran, was brilliant, we really enjoyed it.
Many thanks!
It's so wonderful to have someone organise a trip into another country to see their capital and beautiful countryside - providing transport, entry tickets as required, and really interesting information along the way. Great value for money, and great fun!
Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! We hope to welcome you back for another time soon!
You need Mataj as your guide. He was awesome. Informative, fun, relaxed. Totally recommend this trip. Beautiful scenery.
Many thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience with others!
This was a great tour and had a small group. The tour guide Matej was very helpful and knowledgeable about history to answer the questions. Slovenia is so beautiful and loved the lake bled along with the castle. Will definitely recommend this tour.
Many thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience with others!
A really nice tour, great balance of sites, narration, free time and quiet driving time. We saw so much in 1 day! Got a little info about Croatia and Slovenia on the drive out, then a lovely Ljublyana intro, just enough to know where to wander during free time. Then a beautiful drive to Lake Bled, an explanation of options of what to do there, a good amount of free time to see the lake and then a peaceful ride back to Zagreb. Awesome job by Dino the guide, who did all the driving and the narration and answered all our questions!
Many thanks!
Really great experience and we were able to do the Castle and the boat ride to island on Lake Bled. Dino the tour guide was great !
Many thanks for booking with us and sharing your experience with others!
Excellent day! Driver/tour guide was super nice, knowledgeable and helpful. It was nice to do a tour that wasn’t all talking, lots of free time on your own. Well organized and timely.
Thanks a million!
This day trip from Zagreb was fabulous! Our tour guide Dino shared lots of interesting info about Zagreb and Slovenia with insight into differences & similarities between the 2 countries. It was clear that he truly enjoyed sharing his knowledge with us. The small group size (4 people - 2 others did not show up for the tour) made it easy to do the walking tour of Ljubljana & he was very flexible regarding our time at Lake Bled. We had about 2 hours free time to explore the city- would love to have had more time, but there are only so many hours in the day. At Lake Bled we truly enjoyed the castle & enjoyed a glass of wine & cream cake on the sunny terrace above the lake. If you have the time, don't miss this trip. Initially we had problems downloading our ticket vouchers from Trip Advisor, but the staff at Pathfinder Tours took care of the issue promptly & were great in communicating with us.
Many thanks for your review and sharing your experience with others. We are happy to hear you enjoyed it!
