Informative, Fun, Beautiful - Ines was a WONDERFUL guide! She gave us lots of interesting insight into the history and culture of Slovenia. The drive was comfortable and easy, and definitely worth it. We loved the castle, the boat ride, the island church, everything! Fantastic views and lovely, welcoming people. A perfect experience!

Very nice trip - Very enjoyable experience both in the lake and the castle. Beautiful scenery and interesting explanations from our guide. Challenging climbs in the island in bled and in the castle, but worth it.

Lake Bled … you must visit - Our guide was Ines, who was excellent. She was knowledgeable, polite, interesting and paced the tour perfectly. Lake Bled is spectacular and a must see if visiting Ljubljana. The boat trip across to the castle was fun and the castle worth a visit. Ines made our trip really special.

Great Guide, but tour not worth it - Our tour guide was great! She was well-equipped, very knowledgeable, and exceptionally responsive to questions and special requests from our family of four and the other couple in the full van. I’m sure we would all recommend her personally to anyone in a heartbeat!! However, I would NOT recommend this tour for a family, for three reasons: 1) The very expensive cost, which doesn’t include up to three admissions (castle, boat ride to island, and island church entry, all totaling 45-50 Euros on top of the per person tour cost); 2) The highly variable Lake Bled area weather, especially in Spring and Fall. In our case, multiple weather reports sites forecasted clear weather as of 24 hours before, so we booked the tour, only to then face constant cloudiness and either drizzle or rain which prevented most of the anticipated visual treats over valleys and to the Julian Alps. NOTE - Our guide was absolutely NOT responsible for the weather, but did everything she could to make it as enjoyable as possible. 3) You may not get our tour guide, and I can’t vouch that others would make it as good as possible given our circumstances. We passengers chose to end our 5 hour tour nearly an hour early given the weather. So, you’re looking at well over 100 Euros per person, with no family discounts, for what could turn out to be a mediocre experience, even with the best of guides. If there are more than two of you, just rent a car and do it on your own. NOTE - I rated this 4 stars so it wouldn’t reflect poorly on our Guide, as she deserved 5 stars; however, the whole experience despite the fantastic guide should probably only be 2 stars
