Cosmopolitan Medieval Bled Tour is a unique personalized 2 hours walking tour in the full medieval-early renaissance knight costume (with single handed sword, francisca axe and the dagger) on the lake shore ob Bled (on its eastern part), where views over the most of the sights are concentrated. Beside being a keen local turist guide I am also fan on medieval history and culture, knights, weapons, and castles. In first part we talk about 1000 years of middle ages, feudalism, castles... Furthermore, standard weapons of the knight are presented - sword, throwing axe, dagger. Beside of presenting elements of stunning natural and cultural sights, myths and legends, Bled was also the place of major historical events during the first and the second World War, summer residence of Yugoslav royal family and residence of communist president Josip Broz Tito,where he was forging the worlds third block of non-aligned countries during the Cold War period.

Reviews for Cosmopolitan “medieval” Bled Walking Tour
Fascinating Bled history
Zuluyaya
We were a group of friends visiting Bled for the first time. We chose this tour to learn more about Bled, the lake and area. Tomaz was our guide and told us so many interesting and colorful stories about the history of the area. He was dressed in medieval costume and explained the purpose and use of all the weapons he wore. We took a walk along the lake and learned about the various conflicts and legends. I highly recommend Tomaz and his colorful historical presentation.
Excellent walking tour.

This private tour with Tomaz Kosir was amazing and a great introduction to both the history and magic of current Bled. He was prompt, friendly and extremely passionate about the medieval roots of Bled and all of Slovenia. He even taught us the basics of archery! Highly recommend Tomaz and his tour.

We have found Tomaz upon recommendations on Tripadvisor and decision was a top notch idea how to spend half of the day in Bled ! We took a class in traditonal archery, history, events of the place, myths and legends and the most important the inner secrets of Bled castle were revealed for us through the eyes of medievalist - Tomaz is a part of the historical entertaining society from the Bled castle, middle ages are his field of work - accompained with lots of humour and fun.
