Enjoy Lake Bled with “To Do in Slovenia” tours!

Roger_T, Jun 2023

Sandra with “To Do in Slovenia” tour company was great. She was gracious, informative and helpful. She pointed out all the things to do and see and clearly outlined our options. While Lake Bled is a must-see sight in Slovenia, it is touristy and you have to pay extra for most things to do while you’re there (which is why we rated 4 rather than 5 stars). But it is a beautiful lake to walk around and of course, you have to try the original Bled Cream Cake. Thank you Sandra for showing us where to get the original version and for an enjoyable tour!

Abby_J, Nov 2022

This was a wonderful day trip! Short and sweet but just enough time to see everything you need, especially if doing it in a low season. Our guide was super knowledgeable on the drive and gave us plenty of free time in Bled.

Lake Bled and Bled Castle

Lynne_L, Oct 2019

Great half day trip - there were 4 of us and we had a nice, knowledgeable driver and a great vehicle for the trip. It was drizzling, but the rain stopped just in time for photos of Lake Bled from the ferry. Wonderful. The island is small by scenic and 90 steps to get to the top from the ferry landing. The ferry is man powered like in Venice! The Castle was just ok but with incredible views of the countryside and Lake Bled and the famous church. Worth it to see this famous attraction.

Lake Bled and Bled Castle

Lynne_L, Oct 2019

We were the only 4 people on this tour and had a very nice transport and great driver / guide. Lake Bled is worth seeing - 90 steps to the top from the dock - and the boat ride out is fun, beware the extra cost. The Castle does not offer much EXCEPT for excellent photo ops of Lake Bled and surrounding area. You could also easily drive here from Ljubljana, but we enjoyed the ride and the driver.

A Day Well Spent

This is a great half day tour of Bled. Milan the tour guide was excellent and provided good suggestions of how to best use the time at our disposal. You will have ample time to take a stroll through town and take a pletna boat ride to the island in the lake.

The view from the castle over the lake and up to the mountains, a pletna boat ride to the tiny island, the taste of Cremeschnitte, don't miss one of them!

Sherrie M, Jun 2017

We took a tour with Milan at Ljubljana Today, which we booked through Viator. The half-day morning tour was enough time to drive around the lake, visit the island and still eat cream cake! We would loved to have stayed longer, but this was not possible on short time. Milan was a great driver and guide, and was SOOOO informative about the destination and Slovenia in general. Thank you!

Patrick V, Jan 2017

Bled, was well over. We were picked up at our hotel and the guide in English the whole ride to Bled told us the history of Slovenia. At the lake we got 3hrs leave, possibly to sail the boat to the island. We have chosen to move around the lake, and this is definitely recommended. The local pastries was quite popular.
