Ljubljana
Tour Rating 4.8
Overview

This full-day tour will start in the heart of the Alps, where we will visit one of the largest natural attractions in Slovenia - Lake Bled. Besides the blue-green lake, we will be able to admire also the picturesque architecture of the Bled castle, which is built atop a cliff that rises above the lake. It is possible to reach the unique island in the middle of the lake using the traditional Pletna boat. Alternatively, you can decide for a leisurely stroll along the lakeshore, enjoying some of the most spectacular views of this picturesque lake. The road will then lead us to the Postojna cave, where we will observe one of the most famous karst caves in the world. While riding on the cave train, everyone will be fascinated by the cave's might and its karst phenomena. We will continue our trip and reach the unique and largest cave castle in the world - the Predjama Castle, which has been dominating perched high up in the cliff for 800 years.

Great Trip

It’s a wonderful trip & our guide Nate was full of knowledge & enthusiasm. Best part was that we had a group of five Brazilian ladies who had trouble in understanding English but the guide managed to explain details to them using Google translator. Kudos. Well done, Nate. This trip has remarkable scenery at Lake Bled & the Caves trip is out of this world- not to be missed. Keep urselves warm for caves trip with a good pair of walking shoes. Temperature dips to below 10 deg Celsius & walking is for about an hour or so & route is wet.
Castles, caves and scenery.

Driver, Nate, and tour director was amazing and helpful. Gave us time to see and do everything. We visited a castle in the rocks, Lake Bled was gorgeous as was the famous cream cake, and the caves so impressive along with the train ride.
Excellent day trip

Jernej (Jerry) our guide was really informative,knowledgeable and personable. His English was fantastic. The minivan was comfortable and Jernej was a good driver. When we arrived at Lake Bled it was shrouded in fog. Fortunately the fog soon lifted and we were able to marvel at the splendour of the lake, by looking down from Bled Castle. The, rather than taking a boat to the island we opted to take a 30mins stroll along the banks of the lake and enjoyed views of the lake and the castle from various viewpoints. We then drove to Predjama Castle and Jernej guided us through the castle to maximise our visit here - visiting the mouth of the cave behind the castle was one of our highlights. Finally we marvelled at the stalactites and stalagmites as we walked along 1.5kms of walkways in Postojna Cave. This was a great day trip and we came away feeling that we had learned a lot about the history and culture of Slovenia as well as having visited some of the highlights of this beautiful country.
Great overview of a stunning country

The guide on this tour, Jemej (or Jerry in English), was very knowledgeable, polite and personable. The minivan was very comfortable. When we arrived at Lake Bled, it was shrouded in fog, but gradually this lifted and we got to enjoy the views of the lake from above, at Bled Castle, We had the option to take a boat trip to the Island, but instead we choose to marvel at the beauty of the lake from viewpoints on a gentle 30 minute stroll. At Predjama Castle Jemej guided us through the castle to make the most of our visit. It was definitely worth exploring the entrance to the cave behind the castle. To the end the trip, there was a tour of the Postojna Cave to admire the stalactites and stalagmites on a 1.5 km walk. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Best day tour in Slovenia

This tour is a must when visiting Slovenia. Our tour guide Jerry was super informative and explained to me and my friend a lot of the history of Slovenia and the places we visited, even went as far as to recommend other actives, and places to eat in Ljubljana for us since it was our first time visiting. The tour hits the most famous spots in Slovenia and honestly I don't think me and my friend could have done all of this in a day without this guided tour. I highly recommend if you come to Slovenia.
