Day trip from Zagreb to Ljubljana and Lake Bled with a guided city walk, Pletna boat to Bled Island, castle views, and cream cake.
“Fantastic day in Slovenia with our brilliant guide Dahlia! The day was smooth from start to finish beginning with a timely pick up and a journey to Ljubljana hearing about the place en route. We had plenty of time in the city to explore with recommendations too catered to our interests. The trip to Lake Bled and the castle were the perfect way to round off the day. Worth noting the additional cost for the castle and the boat trip which I hadn’t clocked upon booking, would be nice if these were included in the fee as it’s quite expensive but overall highly recommend! Definitely the highlight of our trip”

The trip was truly unforgettable, and we’ll definitely book with them again when we return here next time. Thank you so much!”

Everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Our guide was amazing — knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making us feel well taken care of throughout the day. His stories and insights about Slovenia’s history and culture really brought each place to life.
