Itinerary

300 min

After an hour and a half of driving through Croatian and Slovenian countryside and hearing all the info. about Slovenia life and culture we arrive in Ljubljana. On arrival, you will go on the orientation walking tour. Climb up to Ljubljana castle with the funicular, explore the city walls, and admire the views of the Julian Alps in the distance. Our guide has all the local insights and handy tips to leave you wanting to explore some more. The guide will show the major sites and give you some history and cultural lessons along the way. When the walking tour finishes you will have a deeper understanding of Ljubljana's landmarks and more confidence navigating on your own for the next 2 hours of your free time.

60 min

Capture the spirit of magical Lake Bled, from the hustle and bustle of Ljubljana to an image of paradise, all that in just 30 min drive. Bled Castle and Lake are sitting on the edge of the Triglav National Park located in the Julian Alps. There is so much to do at Bled, especially during the tourist season. It is impossible to see and experience everything in one afternoon, this is why your guide will help you organize time according to your preferences.

240 min

Go for a swim at the lake, ride a bicycle, sail on traditional Pletna boat to the Bled island, explore the Bled castle or just simply go for a stroll, sit at one of many bars located by the lake and enjoy traditional Bled cream cake, be hypnotized by the views of lake Bled, surrounded by stoic mountains. Unfortunately every fairy-tail has to come to an end. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a scenic ride back to Zagreb.

Great trip

Great guide (Dado from Pathfinder) Great trip.. Great experience Many things to see and do. Not enough time but considering it to be a day trip. Its good enough Good for first timer who hasn't been to this part of the world before to have an initial experience. Had a group of 18. Everyone was cooperative and the van was good enough for 18 for the road trip Overall.. 5/5
