Nice service, wrong destination - Wrong destination. Full of people, messy, less beautiful than I expected. Maybe with better weather I would have enjoyed more. As regards your service, the guide Rocco has been very informative and helpful. He took me up to the castle and picked me up after even if i was the only person interested in going there. I have really appreciated his patience and good mood, not easy to drive in such crowded spots.

A Magical Family Adventure at Lake Bled with ToDoInSlovenia - Our family recently took the Lake Bled tour from Ljubljana with ToDoInSlovenia, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable trip. Our tour guide, Damijan, was exceptional. His knowledge of the area, combined with his friendly and engaging demeanor, made the tour both informative and fun. He shared fascinating insights about Lake Bled and its surroundings, which truly enriched our experience. The natural beauty of Lake Bled is breathtaking. We loved the serene boat ride to Bled Island and the picturesque views from Bled Castle. The kids had a fantastic time exploring and taking in the stunning scenery. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Slovenia, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. ToDoInSlovenia and Damijan made sure we had a magical family adventure that we'll cherish forever. Thank you for a fantastic day!

Fantastic half day trip, beautiful views from the castle and by the lake. - Not far from Ljubljana, Lake Bled half day tour was well worth it. The scenery is beautiful and you can visit the castle or the island or just walk. Irene our guide was excellent telling us all about Slovenian culture, history and food on the journey there and back. She was very friendly and caring ensuring we knew where to meet after our free time.

I don't have enough words.... - Hi. Our tour driver/guide was both very informative and really nice guy. His name was Roc? am questioning my spelling which I'm sure isn't right!! Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. So clean and picturesque right out of any fairytale that I've ever read. The history is very interesting and the honey I bought on the island is gorgeous. I could go on and on but I'd only be repeating myself. Go people go!! It's so worth it as is this beautiful country with lovely people. Slovenia I'll be back.

Beautiful Lake Bled - Lake Bled is beautiful and well worth a day trip from Ljubljana. If you want to swim and aren't so fussed about the island or castle then just walk round the lake and swim so you have enough time! The traditional boat ride was nice. Our guide was fantastic - reallu funny, helpful and friendly!

A transfer - and that’s it ! - The advertising is completely misleading It’s appears like you get an all in experience when in fact it’s just a expensive transfer from Ljubljana to bled Nothing is included The lake is beautiful but to realise that’s all we got was the transfer was more than disappointing Get the public bus or train and pay the entries and you will still save €€€ Very very disappointing Usually tripadviser ensures the advertising is much clearer
