Top Ljubljana Day Trips

This was a wonderful trip to Lake Bled! Our guide was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and interactive with our group. The entire day was well orchestrated with great views of the lake and fun activities throughout the trip! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Having said that … it was a wonderful experience! We started at Postojna Cave, followed by Predjama Castle, Bled Castle and a boat ride to Lake Bled … although the weather was amazing at first, we had a brief rain and thunderstorm in the afternoon which our tour guide handled marvelously. Gordona’s knowledge of history, geography and even geopolitical situation of Slovenia and its people were impressive. Where ir made even more of a difference is in the vehicle. Most tour companies have commercial/cargo vans for groups of up to 8 people. Gordana, from Slovenia Explorer showed up with an ultra comfortable recreational/camper van - it made a huge difference to all. Overall, an amazing experience.

Our tour guide Alenka did an amazing job on organizing all the activities, view points, toilet break, coffee break and turn on the AC in advance. Her driving skill and professional camera shots were beyond my expectation. The most important thing that she is enjoying herself during the whole day tour, treat you as a friend rather than customer. BRAVO!

Started the day with a small climb to see the waterfall which was beautiful. Then went on to lake Bohinj which was very peaceful and tranquil, the reflections on the water are spectacular. The afternoon was spent at lake Bled. You can choose to go to the castle and/or take a pletna boat to the island. We chose to do a full loop of the lake and to climb to the Ojstrica view point which was a slightly challenging but short climb which was well worth it. The guide was excellent throughout the day sharing her knowledge and recommendations.

This was a lovely half day trip to lake Bled and Bled Castle. Our tour guide and driver had excellent English and was very well Informed. He explained that we could either go to the island in a boat or walk round the lake- there was no time to do both. We chose to go across on a traditional Petra boat which cost 20 euros each. Unfortunately there was no time to have lunch before we headed back. I would advise others to ensure they had a packed lunch. For the tour company this was an excellent trip but could be made even better by extending the free time before heading back to Ljubljana.

Kolja, our guide, went out of his way to allow us to enjoy this scenic tour. He has been very patient with us, was well organized, giving us clear instructions and providing insightful responses to our questions. He was particularly knowledgeable about the history of Slovenia and the many influences that shaped the country. Piran is a gorgious place, right on the Adriatic Sea, if you are travelling through Slovenia, it is a must to visit.

Despite the weather being absolutely miserable and it was raining until 1pm and it snowed in high elevations what stopped us from seeing the waterfall, we really enjoyed this tour. I don’t remember our tour guide’s name but he was determined to make the best of the horrible rainy day. He told us so much about Slovenia, the culture, history, politics, infrastructure, geography, cuisine etc. It was very interesting. We went to the WWI museum. We really liked it. It was in a little village. We had a few minutes free time there so we walked around in the rain and cold. The mountains were covered in clouds but here and there you could see some and I must say we took some pretty good snaps there. Then we drove over the high elevations pass across to Italy and back. It was slightly clearing by then but there was rather a lot of snow on roads which was fun 🤭 we stopped for lunch in another village with pretty views. Then we went to Kranjska Gora. What a beautiful place and lake. We loved it. We have beautiful pictures from there. On the way back to Ljubljana, the skies cleared and we had outstanding views of the Alps. Overall, despite the cold, rain and snow we had a wonderful time on this trip. Thank you.

My husband and I had an amazing time exploring Slovenia’s iconic natural wonders, Bled castle, plus a little detour to the medieval town. Our guide Ivan was very knowledgeable about history, ethnography and science. We were able to hit multiple spots in a day without feeling rushed.
