Our host Milovan was very informative and knew all the back streets to avoid the heavy traffic. We went through some beautiful old villages to get to the Waterfall, Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience apart from the many steps to climb to get to the Waterfall, but it was worth it. The authentic Slovenian lunch stop was delicious too.
Strongly recommended if you like alpine environments. The two lakes were beautiful; hiking to the viewpoint overlooking lake Bled was a highlight for me. Our guide Milo was very knowledgeable and friendly.
This day trip from Ljubljana was perfect. Small group which was comfortable and enjoyable, we had time to get to know each other. Our guide & driver Milovan was incredible. Can't say enough about the scenery and hiking. I would say be forewarned that a moderate fitness level would be beneficial and make the experience even more enjoyable. Pro tip if you have the energy: hike up to the viewpoint at lake bled and then continue a walk around the entire lake! It's gorgeous from all angles!
The tour was so nice, we were able to see a lot of nature, Lake Bohinj and Bled were the main points in my opinion, sooo pretty. Milo was very friendly and a great tour guide.
Milo is a very nice tour guide. He knows how to tell nice things about the area. He's driving nice and easy. He knows the area well and could make nice recommendations. We felt very safe all day. Everything went in concert with the group. Very nice day!
Our guide Marco was great as was the entire day!
Marco is a fantastic guide, very welcoming and full of good advice. Expert driving, we feel confident. Excellent day and very beautiful discoveries, magnificent lakes and delicious local cuisine. I recommend it. Pascale
A great day out and easy way to see as much of the area as possible when only staying for 2 days. A very comfortable drive in air conditioned minibus. The timings were great, never felt rushed and plenty of time to enjoy each location. Option to have lunch at a local restaurant which was great. Our guide was friendly and informative at just the right level. Highly recommend!
This was an amazing day out! The hike to the waterfall and to Ojstrica view point are not easy if you’re not that active (like me!) but VERY worth it once you get to the top! Lake Bohinj is gorgeous and we had a lovely lunch together as a group organised by Milo. Lake Bled is the highlight (if you can pick a highlight from all the beautiful sites). I would definitely recommend doing the hike to the view point and having a swim in the lake. Milo was a fantastic guide, we weren’t rushed and he was so friendly and knowledgeable of all of the sites on the tour. I went solo and is a great way to see some of the hotspots of Slovenia with a lovely group of people. Can’t wait to come back!
This is the perfect day in Slovenia. Marco ensured everything ran smoothly. There are a number of steps up to the waterfall so bring sturdy shoes and be prepared for some exercise. The lakes were beautiful - they save the best for last with Lake Bled. (Tip: get the cream cake from the green building and eat it by the lake.) After the tour, Marco reached out with an itinerary of things to do in Ljubljana after we mentioned we hadn’t had time to explore the city yet, which was not in his job description! He went above and beyond, and we very much appreciated it. Book this trip!
