Additional Information

Embark on a day trip from Ljubljana and visit three of the most famous attractions in Slovenia. Admire the beauty of Lake Bled and ride a traditional ‘pletna’ boat to Bled Island, where you may have the chance to sample the delicious ‘potica’ nut cake. Take time to discover Bled Castle, hovering over the lake, before taking a break for lunch. Wrap up your journey with a visit to the cliff-based Predjama Castle and a mini-train ride into Postojna Cave, renowned for its network of stalactites, stalagmites and haunting chambers.

Enjoy a comprehensive one-day tour of Slovenia’s prime tourist spots. Our tour includes a traditional pletna boat ride to Bled island—Slovenia’s only island—plus a visit to the Church of the Assumption. There, you can ring the wishing bell, which has chimed over Lake Bled since 1534. Following the boat ride, you’ll discover the millennium-old Bled castle, one of Slovenia’s standout castles. Here, you’ll visit the castle museum, which offers a glimpse into the history of the area. Be sure to spend a few moments admiring the stunning views of Lake Bled from the castle’s viewpoints.

In the afternoon, we’ll delve into some subterranean wonders. Visit Postojna Cave, internationally renowned and one of the grandest Karst wonders. Kick-start the adventure with a special train ride, taking you through the cave’s galleries and magnificent halls teeming with fascinating stalactites, stalagmites and the famous cave-dwelling olm (proteus anguinus). A scenic drive will take us to the idyllic village of Predjama, where we’ll explore the intriguing Predjama Castle. Nestled high in a vertical cliff, it ranks among the top 10 world’s must-see castles. The notorious Erazem of Predjama (Erasmus) is the central character of many tales, simultaneously painted as a chivalrous knight and a bandit who met his end tragically in the toilet.

Don’t try to do it on your own, take this tour. - This tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide was very professional; he knew when to talk, when to let us rest, was mindful about asking our preferences yet kept all the stops in timely manner. There is NO way we could have just rented a car and done this on our own. Every stop we made was absolutely amazing. While this tour doesn’t include entrance tickets, you can buy them with no problem upon arrival and this allowed us to do and see what we wanted. For instance; the views around Lake Bled are so beautiful that we didn’t want to take the €18 boat ride and feel rushed so we opted to walk around the lake and just take amazing pictures. If you are limited on time this tour takes the guessing game out and allows you to just relax and enjoy the stops. Highly recommend.

Great way to see the sights! - The mini van we traveled in was very clean and comfortable. We made it to all of our stops timely. The Postojna cave is amazing! Definitely worth seeing. The Perdjama Castle is unique and has a lovely setting. Enjoyed visiting Bled, though no time allowed for strolling the village shops, as we opted to do the boat ride to the island, which was relaxing and enjoyable. Next stop was Bled Castle which offers beautiful views. We enjoyed a slice of Bled cream cake while at the castle. Our tour guide was great too! All in all a great tour, though tickets to the attractions were an additional cost.

Spectacular Tour of Slovenia - Every stop was breathtaking! Great to be in a van with only 5 guests. Very personalized. Our driver and guide, Ysidor?, was awesome. Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, punctual and liked that he shared our itinerary with times and what was going to happen next.

Wonderful, action packed adventure - Wonderful, action packed day trip! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Slovenia and shared interesting factoids and stories. We all loved the caves and castle- kids especially. The trip to Bled was also quite enjoyable and a nice way to see another region in Slovenia. Bled, itself is beautiful. Overall, this day trip covers a lot of the ‘must see’ places in Slovenia and is perfect if you are only visiting for a short time.

City full of charm - Very beautiful city, small, but with a lot of charm. The castle has a very beautiful sunset, full of people watching. There's a very picturesque little bar up there. You can go by train or by car from the other side. The center has a place with the best burger in town. At night, the river side is full of very welcoming bars and restaurants for all ages. I highly recommend spending 1 night in the city.

A very enjoyable day. - Great tour guide who went out of his way to make the day very enjoyable. We really enjoyed visiting the caves & the Castle especially the Castle. We enjoyed Lake Bled and the boat ride to the island but felt it was over priced to have to pay for a look at the church on the island.

Great day out of sightseeing in Slovenia - We recently did this day trip with Karin as our guide. We were a small group and mixed very well. Karin was punctual, informative, friendly and gave us a great insight into Slovenian history & cultured & prepared us well in advance for each location we visited. We had a fabulous day exploring the country with her. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time to see Slovenia. From Ljubljana🏅

Good day trip - Favorite part was the Postojna Cave. Would have preferred walking around Bled Lake for an hour (for free) instead of paying 18€ for a small boat ride.
