Truly can’t express how much we loved this trip. The destination itself was like something from a movie- definitely our favorite sight from our 4 days traveling to different European cities. Aside from this, our guide Matej couldn’t have been more lovely to not only bring us from place to place, but give us detailed and masterclass-level information about the history of Slovenia/Bled/things we saw as we went along. He was beyond pleasant to talk to, took amazing pictures we’ll remember forever, and sounds like he he really cares about the knowledge he shares. We wouldn’t be able to put it into words in this little review box just how great our time was!🙂⛵️- Juliana and Jack
This day trip from Ljubljana was perfect. Samir, our driver and guide, was personable, informative, interesting, and inquisitive. We did the castle, boat ride to the island, and walk around the southwest side of the lake. The amount of time for each activity was perfectly paced so nothing felt rushed nor too long. I would recommend this for anyone.
Very nice day by Bled Lake. Nice to take a bath and very nice to walk along the sea. The castle was also nice and beautiful view of the sea from the terraces.
small group and friendly guide! Very attentive to everyone’s needs. Wonderful sites and enough time to explore on your own too.
We had a wonderful experience on our Lake Bled Tour. Matic was very knowledgeable and very informative. Would highly recommend recommend.
Lake Bled and Bled Castle were gorgeous! The hand paddled boats by guides to the island were fun and the oarsman was full of historical facts and entertaining stories.
A brilliant morning in Bled with a charming and knowledgeable guide. It was a small group and you start early enough to miss most of the crowds-absolute bonus for the summer months. Thank you for enhancing our trip to Slovenia. Highly recommend.
Amazing experience from pickup to drop. Ample time at each spot and the tour guide was fun, informative, and made the tour smooth!
Exceptional tour with great guide
Matic and all the team are amazing. Very accommodating and absolutely beautiful scenery. Definitely a must do!!!
