6 Hours Private Shore Excursion To Ljubljana From Koper

We booked this trip several months ago as we prepared for our 12-day cruise with Holland America. Peter Z was responsive to our requests for a side trip to Lake Bled, which actually wound up consuming more of our day than Ljubljana. Peter met us as we exited the cruise terminal, and was easy to find. Our driver, William, who is Slovenian which made him the perfect guide. He shared much of Slovenia's history, and gave us excellent advice on how to approach Lake Bled and not get bled dry. William took us up to the castle and suggested it might be better to just take the hiking trail around the castle which is free. Although he did not tell us what to do, William was very helpful in helping us understand what would be a better use of money. After, we were offered an opportunity to go to Costilna Murka for lunch. This is a small mom and pop restaurant off the lake, and was an optional part of our tour. We thought it would make a great experience, so we agreed and Peter Z set up the reservations. The meal was delicious, and very affordable, about 12 Euro per person and we were stuffed. The food was terrific. Ljubljana was beautiful and we will definitely be back. William was very helpful pointing us in the right direction and getting us right to the center of the old town pointing out the best way to access the Ljubljana castle. The van was very comfortable, seating 8 passengers, nearly brand-new. Our day trip lasted about 8.5 hours round trip from Trieste. Highly recommend!
