• 1Last minute cancellation

  DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We booked this tour two weeks in advance for a Monday tour (the only day we had available) only to have them cancel at 16:00 on the Sunday. This left us no time at all to rearrange another trip, nor did they offer any alternative.

• 4The inclusions were good...

  The inclusions were good but I suppose you should try to prebook the train tickets as the vehicle couldn’t get on the train. Secondly the guide wasn’t really explaining anything in detail as he mainly spoke in the car which we couldn’t hear. He was mainly a driver than a guide.

• 5Amazing Tour

  We had an incredible time on our tour! The alps were incredible and our guides were amazing. We saw three waterfalls, drove up to a scenic overlook, and saw multiple lakes/rivers in the national park. We also got to learn more about the history of Slovenia and do the zip line experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and helped make the trip very enjoyable! I would highly recommend this tour.

• 5Wonderful day trip with Jess

  First time coming to Slovenia and I booked this day trip. The day itinerary was so packed and a many things to see. Few places you have to hike and must wear hiking shoes, some trials were moderate level. Our tour guide, Jess, was so wonderful, friendly and patient. We had a private tour as it was just us-love it. Jess showed us a secret place which we found very interesting and good find. Overall our experience of this day trip was tiring yet unforgettable and we love it so much.

• 5Awesome trip led by Jesse

  Legendary and fun trip led by Jesse who is an absolute legend in every sense. The trip itself was good, you see alot of highlights you wouldn't see on your own unless you hire a car and with a cool guide who makes it interesting and fun. Jesse went above and beyond with this aspect and not only did he lead th tour and keep the fun vibe going, he chilled with us in the breaks time aswell. Great trip, great guide.

About Bled

Bled, in the Julian Alps of Slovenia, is a lakeside resort with a clifftop castle and a small island church reached by wooden boat.

Lake Bled is a glacial lake set among forested hills, with the peaks of the Julian Alps and the long ridge of the Karawanks behind. On a rock above the north shore, Bled Castle, first recorded in the early eleventh century, is among the oldest in Slovenia. In the middle of the lake, a small island carries the Church of the Assumption, reached by a flight of 99 steps from the landing.
