Shore Excursion/day Tour To Lake Bled And Ljubljana From Koper

Goran did a great job! Everything was great except the weather. We had 3 couples and we all enjoyed the day!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a lot of great information on the country. My only issue is that Lake Bled was too far a drive from the port (110min) for what we did. The boat ride to the island was lovely but not worth the long drive. Ljubljana was a lovely city and definitely worth the visit. It was just over an hour from the port.

Our guide Poilez, was right outside our ship ready to take us. He spoke great English and was very informative. He suggested an itinerary to maximize our time. Everyone had a great time and we were back at the ship in plenty of time! Would definitely recommend this tour group.

Istranka's tour made it possible for us to see both Lake Bled and Ljubljana during our cruise stop in Koper - our cruise ship could provide excursions to one or the other but not both. We had great pre-tour email communications with Ivan, who quickly and smoothly confirmed our reservation and whose kiosk was as promised impossible to miss as we left the cruise terminal, and Marco was a terrific driver and guide who was perfectly flexible with us as we visited Lake Bled and Ljubljana. Our group of two retired couples was very comfortable in the minivan, and our strolls at both tour stops (and nice breaks for coffee and a local lunch) were delightful, with time to enjoy the beautiful lake scenery and a surprisingly gorgeous city, and great commentary and advice (like don't miss the local specialty, cream cake :}) from Marco. Very well done!

Marco is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Slovenia and Europe in general regarding the history and how all the countries relate to each other. Lake bled and Ljubjlana were gorgeous must see places in Europe.
