Highlights
- Ljubljana Old Town - After an hour and a half of driving through Croatian and Slovenian countryside and hearing all the info. about Slovenia life and culture we arrive in Ljubljana. On arrival, you will go on the orientation walking tour. Climb up to Ljubljana castle with the funicular, explore the city walls, and admire the views of the Julian Alps in the distance. Our guide has all the local insights and handy tips to leave you wanting to explore some more. The guide will show the major sites and give you some history and cultural lessons along the way. When the walking tour finishes you will have a deeper understanding of Ljubljana’s landmarks and more confidence navigating on your own for the next 2 hours of your free time.
- Julian Alps - Capture the spirit of magical Lake Bled, from the hustle and bustle of Ljubljana to an image of paradise, all that in just 30 min drive. Bled Castle and Lake are sitting on the edge of the Triglav National Park located in the Julian Alps. There is so much to do at Bled, especially during the tourist season. It is impossible to see and experience everything in one afternoon, this is why your guide will help you organize time according to your preferences.
- Bled - Go for a swim at the lake, ride a bicycle, sail on traditional Pletna boat to the Bled island, explore the Bled castle or just simply go for a stroll, sit at one of many bars located by the lake and enjoy traditional Bled cream cake, be hypnotized by the views of lake Bled, surrounded by stoic mountains.
Unfortunately every fairy-tail has to come to an end. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a scenic ride back to Zagreb.

Amazing day visiting Ljubana and Lake Bled - We have wonderful experiences visiting Ljubljana and Lake Bled with our tour guide Katia. She is enthusiastic, experienced and sincerely guided us through whole trip. Our daily journey became an unforgetabble memory, also we gained a little bit more knowledges with both Slovenia and Croatia culture, histories etc. Thanks again to Katia's interesting introdcutions and genuinely sharings. Addtional interesting bonus was that we met our trip companions(two ladies travelled from Brazil) at Plitvice Lake next day, and it was surprised and happy to meet with them again. :)

The tour to choose! - Our tour guide, Katya, was simply amazing and made this tour truly special and a worth while experience. Her tips and tricks were very helpful. Since we were only 8 passengers, the tour guide was very receptive to our needs.
She provided any information necessary about Slovenian and Croatian facts, unprompted and prompted. The tour schedule was really good, we had enough time to enjoy and experience all the stops.
Lake Bled was simply beautiful, highly recommend the traditional boat ride (for an additional €18 CASH). The tour takes you all around the island-from the point where you can swim, and also from the opposite side where you can eat a delicious cream cake with a view, and buy any souvenirs.
Ljubljana was equally as beautiful and such a clean city with plenty things to see. Every Friday, you can experience the food market in the main streets of Ljubljana.
Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect Day Trip from Zagreb - Booked this excursion for myself and my 2 adult travel companions. The drive was short but there was plenty of time to learn some Croatian and Slovenian history. Lake Bled was gorgeous and peaceful with lots of options for activities. Our guide gave us the layout of Ljubljana and let us explore on our own. The city is clean, quaint, and charming. Highly recommend this tour for all ages.

Great one day tour - weather wasn't forecasted to be great but Marko our driver/guide decided to work around that and take us to Bled first while the weather was good. Not a very long trip, less than an hour to hit the border. Lake Bled was lovely, we had a boat ride across the lake and time to wander around on our own before being rowed back. We then were taken around to the other side of the lake to also have time to explore the shops and get lunch. By the time the we got to Ljubljana it was raining and we were offered umbrellas. We had a quick orientation of the main square then left to go off and wander which included tickets for the funicular up to the castle. The rain held off until it was time to leave. Plenty of chances for comfort stops and a thoroughly enjoyable day. Marko was great. Glad we did the day trip. Slovenia is lovely
