Itinerary
Slovenia's capital and largest city is one of Europe's greenest and most liveable capitals; it was the European Commission's Green Capital of Europe in 2016. Car traffic is restricted in the centre, leaving the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city's heart, free for pedestrians and cyclists. In summer, cafes set up terrace seating along the river; it almost feels like a nightly street party
Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful spots in Slovenia and is often the literal poster child for Slovenia tourism. In fact, it must also be a contender to be one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Europe! Not only is the lake itself serene and peaceful, but it features not one but two iconic landmarks: a island topped with in the middle of the lake and a fairytale castle on a hill.

Easy and fun from start to finish. Josip picked up our family of 3 at hotel in Zagreb and drove us to beautiful Bled in Slovenia. He told us different options we could do there, let us pick and let us explore on our own while there. When we were ready we then drove to the capital Ljubljana. There he walked us around to a few sites pointing out the buildings and landmarks then gave us some time to explore on our own and grab some food. Then we drove back, about 9hrs all in. Josip was very friendly and professional. Thanks for a great day in Slovenia!
The visit to Lake Bled was wonderful - so was the advice to try Bled Cream Cake Ljubljana was a delight
Josip set us up for a wonderful day trip to Lake Bled and Ljubljana. He contacted us the day before and met us in front of our hotel in his van. He was very informative on the drive and we went to Lake Bled first. Went in to the castle and then walked around the lake at the base. We chose not to take a boat to the island. Quick trip to Ljubljana and Josip took us to the city center and gave us a nice overview of the area and what we were seeing. Gave us a nice recommendation for lunch/snack while we were there. So nice to have an easy day trip and not be concerned with anything! Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day in Slovenia. Lake Bled Castle is an impressive site and the views are spectacular. We took the boat to the island for the full experience and, while we’re glad we did it, the stay on the island (almost an hour) was much longer than we needed so the whole trip was 1.5 to 2 hours. Ljubljana was fun to visit as well with lots going on since we were there on a Saturday. Josip is an excellent guide and we learned so much about history of the region and interesting facts about to places we visited, etc.
Some snow and rain and that just made it more beautiful. A fairly long ride but absolutely worth it. Josip was charming, very informative, and very professional. The castle was fascinating. Amazing views exhibits and displays. I am so glad we did this. Except lunch, opportunities to walk about on our own. Petfect tour for us.
Great experience in Slovenia. Loved visiting Bled and Ljubljana. Our guide, Josep was so good: knowledgeable and personable.
Thank you :)
Our drive to Slovenia went very smoothly and we enjoyed the countryside along the way. Our guide/driver Josip was amazing!! He shared a lot of history and facts and was very easy to talk with which made the drive pleasant and not boring. He expertly catered the order of the itinerary to maximize our time in each location. He helped drive us as close to the highlights as possible due to a bit of reduced mobility. He gave us an approximate time to meet but never rushed us. We saw all the highlights as listed: Bled Castle, Lake Bled, Ljubljana old town with the famous Dragon Bridge and beautiful buildings. He suggested for us to take the funicular up to the Ljubljana Castle for the views. Of course we tried the kremšnita (Famous cream cake from Bled). It was a perfect day with the bonus of perfect weather. Thank you Josip for giving us such a memorable experience!! We highly recommend Get in Transfer to anyone considering this tour!!
Thank you very much, it was a pleasure :)
First of all, the communication between Jopin and I started before we even got to Zagreb. He answered a few questions I had immediately. He communicated with us before he picked us up at our hotel and arrived exactly at 8.30am to pick us up. He was courteous and informative throughout the entire day and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions about Slovenia and Croatia. He picked us up in a nice comfortable van and had a great recommendation for a restaurant in Lubijiana. I highly recommend this trip and hope you get Jopin has your guide for the day. He is wonderful!
Thank you for a such nice review :)
Our guide Josip was knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day visiting Slovakia with. The castle at Bled lake and the views from there of the lake were a great experience.
Thank you very much :)
