Don't miss this - 1000% recommend. I wish I remembered the name of my guide - he was super. The weather was iffy but it didn't make a difference to the quality of the trip. Ljubljana and Bled are so perfect. Solvenia itself is wonderful and I would love to go back. Getting picked up and dropped off at my hotel was very nice, too. Would book with this agency again for other trips!

All in all, well worth it - This was a great experience. First, our driver/guide- awesome! The van was nice and comfy. The fisrt castle, probably a waste of time as they nickle and dime you once you get up there. The town of Ljubljana was just beautiful as well as the lake bled. All in all, well worth it!

Nice Day Trip - The tour agency kept us informed of itinerary changes ahead of time. The tour guide, Renalto, was friendly, informative and adjusted to the pace of the group as well as individuals. He personalized the tour as well. Lake Bled was beautiful and the views from the Castle were phenomenal. Ljubljana was surprisingly delightful.

Slovenia tour for you! - Excellent day tour into Slovenia! We spent 3 hours in the capital of Ljubljana, free time, choosing to do what we wanted. This was ample time to walk around and get a feel for this beautiful city. After this we drove to the amazing place of Lake Bled! Gorgeous setting, nestled among the mountains, we took the funicular to the castle at the top, then had free time to see things such as the museum and printing shop. Free time followed at the edge of the lake to either take a horse carriage ride, relax by the surrounded beauty, or taste the famous Bled cream cake which is so delicious! Our guide for the day (Matjana?) was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, driving us safely to and from and sharing bits of Croatian history and that of the fall of Yugoslavia. Very enjoyable day all around!
