- Prešernov trg - Slovenia’s capital and largest city is one of Europe’s greenest and most liveable capitals; it was the European Commission’s Green Capital of Europe in 2016. Car traffic is restricted in the centre, leaving the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city’s heart, free for pedestrians and cyclists. In summer, cafes set up terrace seating along the river; it almost feels like a nightly street party
- Lake Bled - Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful spots in Slovenia and is often the literal poster child for Slovenia tourism. In fact, it must also be a contender to be one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Europe! Not only is the lake itself serene and peaceful, but it features not one but two iconic landmarks: a island topped with in the middle of the lake and a fairytale castle on a hill.

Day to remember, higly recommended - This tour is great, and highly recommended to absolutely everyone. Bled lake and castle are just amazing, having coffee break there is pure zen while enjoying amazing Bled cream pie. After fueling batteries in nature, we were ready for exploring Ljubljana old town and it is really lovely. Our tour guide reccomended us really great restaurant and having lunch there was one of our best dining experience during this vacation. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, full of sense of humor but also with great sense for moment so on our way back he just let us sleep because we were really tired. We came back to Zagreb full of memories and will definitely reccomend this tour to all our family and friends. :-)

Highly recommended tour - We had a very very good tour guide and will advise us on the best tour routes for each attraction. Also recommended to us the best local food and restaurants. I highly recommend joining Josip’s private tour.

Great day trip - My husband and I used Josip in October 2024 for a day trip from Zagreb hotel to Slovenia.
We were extremely pleased with the service. Our tour gide was prompt, very reasonably priced, drove very carefully and we felt completely safe.
As discussed he took us to Lakes Bled and to Ljubljana. Allowed us ample time to see the places on our own, recommended what to see and do in each place and brought us back to the hotel at the agreed to time.
We were completely satisfied and have no hesitation at all in recommending him to our family and will most certainly use him again if we are in the area. He definitely deserves 5 stars for his excellent service.

Josip is your guy - Even before our pickup, Josip was on top of it. He corresponded exact location of pickup and was exactly on time. His knowledge of the history of Croatia and Slovenia was extensive and we sure learned quite a bit. His sense of humor we enjoyed. The car was clean, modern and comfortable. It was a rainy day and he even had umbrellas to offer us.
Would highly recommend.

Best way to see Bled and Ljubljana - Tomislav was an excellent driver. He got us where we needed to be, was flexible with his time, and provided us with helpful information. He was a delight to spend the day with and we appreciated the great conversation.

Day trip to Bled Lake and Ljubljana - Robert was our driver and guide for the day. He did a great job getting us to the various sights although he wasn’t too familiar with Ljubljana more of a Croatia guide.
Loved the boat trip on the lake to the island, then drove up to the castle for stunning views. Next stop Ljubljana for lunch at Restaurant Julia, a great choice by Robert before heading into the town and spending an hour along the river.
A lovely day trip for anyone who was to take in the sights on a one day visit.

Bled Lake is gorgeous. It is a 10 + hour trip! - Bled Lake was incredible. Such a beautiful quiet place, especially the boat ride to and from the island. Ljubljana Old town was beautiful. We were gone from 8:30 and we didn’t get to Ljubljana until 2/3 pm and we hadn’t had time for lunch prior to that time.
The tour stayed approximately 8 hours and by the time we came back to Zagreb it ended up being over a 10 hour tour! Our guide was very nice and safe. It would have been nice to learn more about Croatia and Slovenia during the trip. Make sure you verify the trip length before booking.

This is not a tour. No tour guide is provided only a driver. Very misleading. - Tour information is very misleading. Thus is not an organized tour and no tour guide is provided. We had a driver who drove us to Lake Bled and Ljubljana and provided no real helpful information. Very disappointing and very expensive for what was provided plus we had to pay additional entrance fees for everything (Bled Castle, Ljubljana Castle etc.). We did a day tour into Mostar Bosnia from Split with another tour company for almost half the cost and a tour guide was provided for part of it. I wouldn't recommend this "private tour" which is just someone driving you.
