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, cultural sights, myths and legends, Bled was also the place of pilgrimage, healing resort, where major historical events during the first and the second World War took place, 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.

Had a wonderful experience on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! The instructor (Tomaz Kosir) was friendly, patient, and taught me how to aim and hit a target with a bow and arrow. It was such a fun and memorable experience. Highly recommended! 🏹😊
We had the absolute pleasure of spending time with Tomaz, a true medieval knight, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! He gave us a fascinating journey through the history of medieval weaponry, defenses, and battle tactics across Europe. Tomaz also shared wonderful snippets of folklore and customs that still influence our lives today. Fun fact: did you know knights mounted their horses from the left so their sword wouldn’t jab the horse? This custom still exists today! Details like this made the experience so engaging. Tomaz’s knowledge, passion, and storytelling were incredible. His English was excellent, and he explained complex military and historical terms in a way that made them easy (and fun) to understand. Surrounded by his impressive collection of weapons, it felt like a hands-on history lesson right in our hotel. To top it off, Tomaz guided us through an archery demonstration. He was not only an expert but also a fantastic teacher— my wife even hit a bullseye on her first try thanks to his guidance! Overall, this was an educational, entertaining, and truly memorable experience. If you ever have the chance to meet Tomaz, don’t miss it. He is a passionate knight who brings history to life. Highly recommend!
Excellent tour of Lake Bled including all aspects of its history, geography and social development. Highly recommend this tour!
Tomaz is incredibly knowledgable on all things medieval, not just in Bled but throughout Europe. He is also highly entertaining and good company. I would highly recommend a tour of Bled with him.
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.
Very informative walking tour. Very nice for extra treatment of being picked up and dropped off at Hotel where staying. Loved the medieval outfit. Very knowledgeable of history.
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 had a wonderful time with Tomaz. He made history come alive. A fun knowledge tour guide. Would recommend this tour for adults and families alike. My husband was even able to try some archery skills!
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.
After reading the excellent reviews about the 2 hour tour that Tomaz organised I prearranged our tour to be sure we were not disappointed. Tomaz is very knowledgeable about the area telling us about the place, buildings and statues that we had walked past without knowing anything of their history. We thoroughly enjoyed our walk with him and the 2 hours passed very quickly. We continued our walk all around the lake after Tomaz left and added the boat to the island church so it was quite a full day but very enjoyable.
