★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,021 reviews · 11 hours · from $141Our pick

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”

“We had a wonderful day with our guide Bo who was so nice and knowledgeable! Due to the weather he changed the order of sights and thank god he did because we were so lucky with the weather especially at Lake Bled. He gave us a lot of advice for sights and food spots. Its so much more comfortable going with a small group and i think this separates Pegasus with their competitions. You got a more personal and comfortable experience without breaking the bank. I will be back in spring and plan to travel with Pegasus again on to Plitvice Lakes! Bo also took us to a candy store…”

Small-group day trip from Zagreb to Lake Bled and Ljubljana, with Bled Castle views, lakeside time, and an easy old town walk.

“After loads of research I decided to chose this day tour to Lake Bled and Ljubljana. Josip picked me up on time and made the journey very pleasant. The trip starts from the castle at the Lake and then you go down to Lake Bled. This is the best way as you arrive when it is less busy and you avoid all the traffic. Josip is very flexible and if you want to spend more ir less time somewhere he will adjust the tour to your requirements. If you visit Zagreb its the best tour to chose and visit also Slovenia which is couple of hours away.”
