- Ljubljana - Ljubljana, the capital and largest city in Slovenia, is the cultural, educational, economic, political and administrative centre of the country. It is renowned for its rich history, which is reflected in the unique architectural heritage. Its old town centre is embraced by Ljubljana Castle and the river Ljubljanica where the feeling of the city is the strongest. On your trip, you will encounter ancient and modern architecture. You will visit the old town center where you will admire the works of the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, who took an important part in designing the Ljubljana’s most famous bridges, town squares and parks.

His influence can be felt everywhere, but mostly along the river Ljubljanica. On your trip, you will visit some of the most interesting buildings and monuments, such as the Ljubljana Town Hall, the Triple Bridge, the Shoemakers’ Bridge, Ljubljana Cathedral, the Robba Fountain, Prešeren Square, Congress Square and other attractions.

Beautiful Day in Lake Bled and Ljubljana - Outstanding day exploring Lake Bled and Ljubljana and learning more about Slovenia and experiencing it firsthand. Enjoyable, informative and entertaining and we were in good hands with our driver/guide, Dean.
Beautiful scenery on the way to Lake Bled and especially there.
Experiencing Ljubljana during the Christmas Market was a real treat and look forward to a return visit to explore the city more fully. An outstanding and memorable introduction to a beautiful country.

Fabulous day. - Ernesto was a fabulous guide and really had some great local knowledge of his country and Ljubljana. He appears to be very proud of his country. We are from Australia and don’t see snow very often so it was a real treat for us. Definitely recommend your tour to everyone. Thank you so much. 15 out of 10.

Definitely go! - Our guide Dean was a fantastic guide, full of enthusiasm and knowledge. We arrived at Lake Bled first and he pointed the places we could go to (we walked all those steps to the castle) and then on to Ljubljana where we had 2.5 hours to take in the sights, wander the markets and have a bite to eat. Fabulous city and very beautiful with the river running through the middle which was the hub of where we explored. We did have a hiccup with the Italian police when we came to cross back into Italy. My recommendation is to always take your physical passport (I only had digital copy) but Dean coped admirably with the incredibly rude policeman.

A lovely day In Slovenia - Our guide Ernesto gave us a great introduction to Slovenia. He was knowledgeable, informative, very responsive to questions, and made excellent recommendations for the use of our free time, including attractions to see, restaurants and shopping. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Ernesto has a winning personality and was very considerate of the needs of the participants.

Enjoyable trip. - Nice time at the lake, though it was shorter than expected. So didn't get to climb up to the castle. Ljubljana was very enjoyable. Funicular up to the castle, market square, and the old town on both sides of the canal were fun.

Great scenery, too rushed - Overall the tour was good but very rushed in both Lake Bled and Lubjana. The tour guide did not give enough time for pictures. He was informative.
