Amazing views, gorgeous locations and super fun host! - Igor was extremely informative and helpful! He shared alot of facts and history with us and made the entire experience so much fun! Lake Bled is beyond beautiful and would definitely recommend the boat journey to the island as well. Vintgar Gorge literally took my breath away! It's so so beautiful! We wish we had longer time at Lake Bohinj and Bled to explore more. The day trip should be a wee bit longer to truly soak it all in!

Fantastic Day in the Country - We had such a fun time on this day trip. A lot was packed in but we got to do everything we wanted to. Our tour guide was great and gave us solid recommendations in Bled. Highly recommend.

A highlight of our Europe trip. - One of our favorite days in Slovenia. Luca was an excellent guide and driver. A wealth of knowledge about his country and amenable to answering all of our questions. He tailored the day towards what we wanted to do. Vintner's gorge was absolutely stunning and our favorite part of the trip. We really enjoyed Lake Bohinj too. Of course Lake Bled was very picturesque and being rowed to the island was very enjoyable. We were able to see the Castle too and his recommendations for cream cake was spot on. Our group of 8 from 5 different parts of the world got on very well and we went for drinks afterwards to keep our wonderful day going. I would highly recommend this day trip since they are very accommodating to everyones needs. A lady in our group was recovering from knee surgery so Luca told her what she could and couldn't do, and she stayed with him on anything with an incline. He offered us water and comfort stops and my daughter Jules & I agreed it was a highlight of our Europe trip.

An amazing tour with an incredible guide and team. - Going to Vintar Gorge when I went was perfect because it was misty, which led to some breathtaking photos. The tour guide was polylingual and very talented with their ability to switch between languages. Understandably, the tour was in English, but the group was very international, with many non-native English speakers. The views of the lakes were amazing, if you go, please do both the castle and lake tours.

Trip to Lake Bled - Went in January 2024, so due to it being the office season I only got to visit Lake Bled. Found Lake Bled to be beautiful and the host was great at telling interesting facts about the country and the lake.

Amazing views, amazing guide! - We had such a great time on this trip with a very friendly and accommodating guide, Dado, who peppered the entire trip with stories, legends and the history of Slovenia! He also made the effort to tell us more about the landscape and the surrounds as well and made the entire trip so entertaining! And of course the views of Bled and Bohinj were so breathtaking, not forgetting the Vintgar gorge which was simply amazing! Highly recommended!

Outstanding trip with an excellent guide (Doda) - Two beautiful lakes, castles and a stunning walk in Vintgar Gorge, this is a must for tour. Small group of 8 in a comfortable van led by a very good guide in Dado. Excellent value for money.

Lakes of Slovenia - The places are amazing so was the tour guide. The only thing is it rained for the whole day otherwise I would have enjoyed it more. Pick up and drop off and time allocation went well.

Read Before Booking - I think, in most reviews, people review the sights and landmarks and not the tour itself. Despite having a great tour guide, I would highly advise against taking this specific tour. There is no reason it should take 10 hours. Outside of the highlights (which are magnificent, of course), it is filled with a bunch of dead time at uninteresting places. Rent a car, and do more in half the time, or, at the very least, take a shorter tour to just Lake Bled and the castle itself. To make matters worse, the communication with the company is terrible. They didn’t reply to any of messages in the days preceding the tour, and they mistakenly read the wrong place to pick me up which delayed us even more.
