De Zagreb: Viagem guiada de um dia para Ljubljana e o Lago Bled

I booked the tour the night before and booking was very easy. I received confirmation soon after, along with the pickup time for the next day. On the day of the tour, the operator even sent an email to inform that the pickup would be 5 minutes late. It was definitely a surprise that they would inform for even a 5 minutes delay. Thereafter I was picked up by my guide, Maya. Maya was impeccable in her guidance throughout the tour. She is not only knowledgeable about Slovenia, but she’s also a great communicator, always taking care to point out certain landmarks to us so that we may use them to navigate the area. As a guide, Maya is one of the best that I’ve met so far and from the start to the end, she was very professional and thanks to her, I truly enjoyed the tour to Ljubljana and Lake Bled. (P.s. Can I also add that she’s a great driver.)

The trip first took us from the meteorological garden in Zagreb old town to Ljubljana. it was a small group tour. However, the other members of the group cancelled their tour and we were left to be the only ones on the trip. We were glad that the company didn’t canceled us and we were able to go. We did the old town walk at Ljubljana with the guide, she recommended Slovenia food to try and chocolates to buy. We took the plena boat ride to the island at Lake bled. it was a beautiful and relaxing day with beautiful weather. We also had cream cake at Park Hotel as recommended by the guide. The guide said she will send me the recipe for making the cream cake and I am looking forward to it.

The tour guide and driver was very professional and friendly, providing detailed introductions to history, culture, and more along the way. They safely brought us to the attractions and gave us ample time to explore each site freely. The boat ride for the castle and Lake Bled requires an additional fee, which you can decide whether to participate in. The guide also offered other suggestions, such as walking around the lake or enjoying delicious local cakes by the lake. The eight-seater van was very comfortable, and the time management was excellent, not too rushed.

Our driver/guide Mathias was very helpful. He gave us ample time to explore on our own. To top it all off, it was just my mom and me in the van.

It was a great day trip. We were a small group of 7 people. Bled Lake is an amazing place and Ljubljana is a beautiful capital.

I was surprised by the last-minute private tour (as other participants cancelled the previous day). The experience was beyond my imagination (I had previously joined one of their tours a few days prior and had an amazing time, therefore this one was bound to be even better). The tour in Ljubljana and Bled was like going on a drive with a local friend. Everything was perfect: perfect weather, perfect timing as there was barely anyone around so I was able to take a lot of good photos and had some assistance from Maja, who also takes amazing photos, and a perfect itinerary for the day trip. We spent some good time at spots that I liked, shared a story or two, the drive was never boring (I even got the opportunity to see a glimpse of the Alps!) and I was given a lot of consideration and choices. Truly a remarkable memory and experience that will forever be ingrained in my heart whenever I think of these locations.

The tour is amazing. Our tour guide Maja is very knowledgeable with the history of Slovenia and Zagreb.

Lake Bled is truly beautiful. We recommend purchasing castle tickets along with your visit, as there are excellent photo opportunities there, and it will be more convenient and offer better value than buying tickets on-site.

The guide/driver was knowledgeable and shared many facts about the place. The only downside was his driving skills, which were scary and made us feel unsafe. He was going 180, which we are not used to, especially considering the roads were slippery due to the weather.

The guide was great. She explained the history and all in detail. It was fun. Overall, the place visited was beautiful and mesmerizing.
