Description
In the heart of the Alps, we will visit one of the largest natural attractions in Slovenia - Lake Bled. Besides the blue-green water, 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 with the traditional Pletna boat. There, we will climb up the 99 stone-step staircase to the church and ring the wishing bell. Alternatively, you can decide for a leisurely stroll along the lakeshore, enjoying some of the most spectacular views of this picturesque lake. Our guides are best acquainted with the destination and with tips and other assistance they help you discover all the services that the destination has to offer.

Our guide was great and...
Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed the castle and cream cake. Lake Bled is beautiful and a must see.

Wonderful tour - great cream cake too
We got to the boat landing a little early so he took us down to a boardwalk and let us walk along the lake and meet back at the boat landing. Those were the best views of the castle and the church. Our guide (I wish I could remember his name :( ) was so knowledgeable and friendly and made the entire day so much fun. The views the church the castle are all breathtaking. And the free cake and drink was an extra bonus. That was worth the price of the entry of the castle alone.

Interesting and well organised trip
Great experience. The timing was very good, pick-up on time. Our guide, David, was very helpful and gave us a lot of information and stories about Bled. The castle is magnificent and the boat trip to the island is nice and gives amazing views of the lake and surroundings.

Great tour of Bled for the whole family
We had a really great experience with David, he picked us up from our hotel and planned the perfect half day trip to the castle, then a boat trip to the island and church, and finally a walk along the promenade. Our guide was very informative and flexible to work with our needs with 2 young kids. We had a really fun day and look forward to returning!
