The 4 Best Vintgar Gorge Tours from Bled

1.Lakes Bled & Bohinj and Vintgar Gorge Small-Group Day Trip from Ljubljana

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

Travel from Ljubljana in an air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking guide such as Jan, Klemen, or Ivan. Walk Vintgar Gorge, visit Lake Bled and its castle, pause at Lake Bohinj, and explore medieval Škofja Loka. The group is capped at eight, though gorge and Pletna boat fees cost extra.

“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.”

“The agency was not easy to find, because there are few more of them. But the young lady was very kind and everything was prepared and ready for us. Even crowded it is a very nice trip and a beautiful place to see.”

4.Vintgar gorge Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 12 reviews · from $75

From Mamut Slovenia at Bled’s main bus station, you take a direct minivan to Vintgar Gorge. You get time to walk the 1.6-kilometer gorge, see Vintgarski Šum waterfall, and return on the scheduled shuttle. The entrance fee is separate.

“We were a bit unimpressed with this service. We were told that the shuttle back to Ljubljana would take 40 minutes but an impromptu stop off at the airport (?!) for one couple who weren’t meant to be on our bus massively delayed proceedings. Also, be warned that the gorge is a long trek, you need sturdy footwear and there is a steep incline. This information wasn’t relayed to us.”
