Excellent tour with Marco. He was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide without being overbearing. Rained all day on us, but Marco did great job of accommodating the 4 of us. Highly recommend this tour. Ask for Marco!!

A great tour! A perfect way to see much of Slovenia in a day. We spent the right amount of time at each location. We enjoyed the beauty of Lake Bled and their local pastry as well walking around the beautiful city center of Ljubljana.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you, very happy to hear that!

Great day in Slovenia

Lisa_W, May 2025
We booked this private tour just 2 days before our port day in Koper after our other tour cancelled on us. Marco was waiting for us off the ship and off we went to Lake Bled. It was a great day and he helped us figure out the best way to spend our time. We visited Bed Castle, got Bled cream cake and saw the beautiful views of the lake. We then headed to Ljubljana and enjoyed walking around the old town. Marco told us lots of Slovenian history and facts, it was a great day!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you very much for comment!

We loved our day

Shana_K, Oct 2024
Our guide, Primos (spelling?) was outstanding! He shared facts and stories about the places we visited and modified our tour when we were too tired to do much more walking. He is rightfully very proud of his city, Lyubljana, and made us feel like we were visiting a friend showing off his hometown. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you for a memorable day!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you had nice experience. I will let Primos (correct) know, he will be very satisfied to hear that. Always welcome back!

Great guide - beautiful landscape

Goran did a great job! Everything was great except the weather. We had 3 couples and we all enjoyed the day!

A lovely day in Slovenia

Julie_B, May 2024
Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a lot of great information on the country. My only issue is that Lake Bled was too far a drive from the port (110min) for what we did. The boat ride to the island was lovely but not worth the long drive. Ljubljana was a lovely city and definitely worth the visit. It was just over an hour from the port.

Response from Host, May 2024

We appreciate your comment. Always welcome back to explore more of the treasures that Slovenia offers!

This was the best day of a two week trip. Try to get Marco. He’s unbelievable.

Shari_R, Oct 2023
Marco is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to Slovenia and Europe in general regarding the history and how all the countries relate to each other. Lake bled and Ljubjlana were gorgeous must see places in Europe.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you so much! Marco enjoyed in your company as well! Hopefully you will get a chance to visit Slovenia again!

Best way to see Slovenia

We can not say enough good things about our guide Alinka! We had such an amazing tour and she was so organized every step of the way calling ahead for special tables at restaurants, showing us hidden photo spots in Ljubljana and Lake Bled. We were a group of 3 couples and this was one of the best excursion day of our cruise. We saw sooooo much of this beautiful country. Highly recommend this tour and we all want to come back to beautiful Slovenia!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you very much! We are so happy you enjoyed the tour. We will make sure Alenka receives it too! Slovenia has much more to offer, so if you will visit us again in the future, we would be more than delighted to show you more of slovenian treasures!

Beautiful Slovenia

Kelley_G, Oct 2023
Our Guide was very knowledgeable, took the time to make it a special day for our group. We explored the island, the castle and then went to Ljubljana for dinner and a walk through the streets of Ljubljana.
