This was an amazing tour....

This was an amazing tour. We got to see Lake Bled and the town square of Lublijana. We wish we had more time in the town square but traffic can be difficult and the distance is far from the port. Our guide Dean was amazing. He was knowledgeable and explained a lot on the way to each place. He gave a great overview of the sites and the culture and traditions. He was awesome.

Thank you, for your visit!

I would definitely recommend Viator for day trips. We organized everything on line. It was very easy. My wife had some questions. She called and she talked to someone who was very helpful. Our driver Maurizio was right on time. He was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. 5 star service.

Wonderful day!

Mia met us at the cruise ship terminal in Koper and to our surprise we had a private tour to Ljubljana and Lake Bled. If I had to pick between the two destinations I certainly would head straight to Lake Bled. Lake Bled is like a fairy tale setting...just beautiful. We had time to take the pletna boat to the island and follow the tradition of ringing the bell at the church and making a wish. Afterwards we enjoyed the Alpine beauty and sunshine while enjoying the traditional Bled Kremsnita cake. As we drove Mia explained the history and culture of her country pointing out landmarks and the breathtaking scenery along our route. Just a wonderful day!
