The countryside was gorgeous once we were out of the city and the walks we did at each location were amazing and easy to do. The waterfall walk does involve quite a few stairs up. Our weather was perfect for our day. Our lunch stop was good too with recommendations from Milo about the traditional Slovenian menu. We took a row boat with our group out to the island in the middle of…”

He had excellent communication skills and was knowledgeable about the places and kept telling us about the history of each of the place as we crossed them. We visited Bled in the morning and Caves in the afternoon. Though it was quite busy in the afternoon our guide made sure we reach the places as quick as possible.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 279 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $146

“Great day out, however, the itinerary was switched around and we only got to spend 30 minutes at lake Bohinj rather than the 2 hours indicated on the booking page. We were disappointed with this as we were hoping to swim here as it was recommended by locals to do so. Probably could’ve stayed less time in Škofja loca as there was not much there but otherwise a great trip and beautiful sights.”

“Ljubljana and Lake Bled are BEAUTIFUL! We were worried that the day trip would be exhausting the day after disembarking from a 2-week cruise, but this gave us the disembarking day to explore Trieste on foot, stay 1 night, take this day trip, and get back to Trieste early enough to tame a train to Venice earlier than expected. Ernest way delightful and made sure we all got back on time. I would have loved to spend a few days in Slovenia, but this day trip was perfect for our schedule!”
