- Prešernov trg - 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 - 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.

Beautiful Slovenia - My husband and I had a fabulous day trip to Slovenia where we visited the magnificent Lake Bled and Bled castle and the capital city, Ljubljana. Our driver Josip took care of us for the day and we enjoyed his company immensely. We would highly recommend this trip if you like travelling in a smaller group.

Must Do Day Trip - Josif was an excellent guide with an extensive knowledge of the history of all this region. He was very accommodating, friendly and professional. Lake Bled is definitely a must see and Ljubljana is worth the visit. Josif made everything interesting and easy. Highly recommended.

Fabulous day trip to Lake Bled and Ljubljana, highly recommended! - What a fabulous day trip, highly recommended. Josip, our tour guide, picked us up on time in his very comfortable air-conditioned mini van and drove us from Zagreb to Lake Bled (just over 2hrs), where we had an hour to explore Bled Castle on our own, then he drove us to nearby Lake Bled, where we were free to explore for 45 mins. Beautiful scenery, so relaxing. And the famous Bled Cream Cake, which we tried at the Castle cafe, was delicious! Josif then drove us back to Ljubljana (45 mins), gave us his fave restaurant recommendations and left us to explore for 4hrs or thereabouts, and we had no trouble filling in the time. I should also add that Josip was so interesting and informative on Croatia & Slovenia, and happily answered my many questions. My partner & I LOVED Ljubljana, what a beautiful little city, so charming & fascinating. Lots of lovely little restaurants and shops along the pretty river - a wonderful place to eat and people-watch! We will be back! The drive from Ljubljana to Zagreb was approx 1.5hrs, I had a good snooze! What a great day out, and thank you Josip for making it all run so smoothly and for making it all so interesting!

A beautiful taste of Slovenia. - We had a wonderful trip to Slovenia! Josip was a wonderful driver/guide and directed us to the best places to visit. The view from the Castle at Lake Bled was incredible and we had cream cake with a delightful view. We enjoyed walking around the Lake.
Ljubljana was a beautiful city and we enjoyed the city centre and had lunch at a spot recommended by Josip.
We would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun day in Slovenia!! - Josip was very friendly and knowledgeable, took us the back way to Bled Lake, saved us a 1/2 hour of not being stuck in traffic. Got us where we needed to go, let us know what we needed to know and let us explore Slovenia. Highly recommend for any future excursions.

Experience you will remember - While we’ve seen pictures of and heard of Bled lake before, we didn’t know what to expect in during the tour/drive.Drive was scenic, Bled Lake was absolutely gorgeous. Ljubljana is such a beautiful city. Food was amazing. I’d love to go back. Josip was a fantastic tour guide. He didn’t go to the castle or the church with us but on the way to those places he gave us ample information about the history and significance. If I return, I’d seek his services again.

Excellent day trip. - Great day trip. Our guide, Josip, was brilliant and provided lots of information during our drive to Bled Lake and Ljublijana. Well worth taking the trip to see Bled Lake and spend time in Ljubljana site seeing and enjoying the food and drink. Would definitely recommend it.

Perfect Day - My husband and I had a fantastic trip from Zagreb to Lake Bled and Ljuljana with our driver Josip. We booked late and Josip immediately contacted us to confirm everything (very reassuring).
Josip was the perfect guide and companion for a full day of visiting, and learning about, Slovenia. A wonderful day like this is well worth the price.
Thank you so much for your kindness and attention,
Mike and Diane
