Splendid day

Elizabeth_r, Jul 2025

A delightful experience! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and truly excited to help us better know Trieste and Slovenia. She had keen insights to our areas and great tips and tricks to avoid crowds and make the most of our trip to lake bled. The tour bus was spacious and comfortable, stocked with water and adequate bathroom breaks. Highly recommend!!!

My husband and I, had two days in Trieste and decided to book a one day trip to Lake Bled and Ljubljana. Beautiful and picturesque places. Our driver/guide was on time to pick us up, Kristjan was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable and an excellent driver. He made the trip one we will not forget. Slovenia is a beautiful country!

Thank you mrs. Sue, always welcome in sLOVEnia.

An amazing day trip.

I would definitely recommend Viator for day trips. We organized everything on line. It was very easy. My wife had some questions. She called and she talked to someone who was very helpful. Our driver Maurizio was right on time. He was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. 5 star service.

Thank you, always welcome!

Disappointed

edward_c, Jul 2019

The tour lasted 8 1/2 hours. Our tour guy was not explaining anything. She was only answering questions. She was more a driver than a tour guide. She did not walk with us in the places. Take a taxi and save money next time, maybe Viator will take care of the bad service or Viator will have more than 4 disappointed customers.

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Hi Edward, I am very sorry to hear about your bad experience. As we are known for our exceptional service and attention to detail, I regret that we failed with you. I have immediatelly contacted the rest of the group you were with and asked them once again for as honest as possible feedback to see what went wrong. They all returned great feedback on our service and the service of your driver/ escort. The driver/ escort has more than 20 years of experience in the tourism business and was accepted to our team only because of her exceptional reputation of meeting the highest standards in terms of having master`s degree from tourism, national licences and most important, the years experiences. According to the rest of group she delivered exceptional service. It is true that we don`t walk with travelers at places. Our service is focused on delivering best small group authentic experiences with experienced and licenced locals and not classic guided walking tours which is cleary visible on all our products names and descriptions. Because I made a mistake that no one even noticed (we added the 8th person in 9 seater van) I decided to treat your group and we took you to a very good traditional family run authentic Slovenian restaurant where you were served with best food and wine they can offer. I picked that restaurant personally as I am a professional chef and know where to »eat like a local«. But the bottom line is that you were not satisfied with our service and my reponsibility as the owner is to accept that. So mr Edward please accept my appologies as we failed to deliver what you were expecting from us. As you have my direct contact you can reach me directly and we can discuss and find the best solution for this situation. I am sorry again for the inconvinience Warm regards from sLOVEnia Peter Zaloznik

Brilliant Service
