Best half day trip from Ljubljana! Stunning views! - Damijan was fantastic! He provided lots of background knowledge about Slovenia customs, food, drink, the local area, and places to see. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It was the perfect length of time. Slovenia is such a beautiful country and we are glad he was our guide. We definitely recommend this trip and ask for him, personally!

A hidden gem - A wonderful experience! - What a great excursion and experience. We met wonderful people, learned some history of the area and came away with a great memory. My son also brought home an original souvenir - a print from their printing press (the oldest printing press is Slovenia) with a picture of the castle, his name, place and date of visit. He was even able to help in the process of making it, so it will be a definite keepsake!

Walking in a fairy tale landscape! - It is a lake that has a park to walk around it, it is 6 km long, it is important to wear comfortable clothing. Very nice place! There are cafes and restaurants to eat or have something to eat. A highly recommended place, with spectacular views.

Well organized and scenic - Excellent trip to Lake Bled and Bled castle. It’s well organized and pretty fast. It only take 45 minutes from Ljubljana. Both sites are very scenic and postcard worthy. Frankly, it was a bit pricey as the boat ride and castle entrance cost a total of €25 in addition to the cost of the trip itself with no food. The castle tour only takes 20-25 minutes max. I was back in Ljubljana just past 1pm. A worthwhile trip if you have time.
