- Ljubljana Old Town - After an hour and a half of driving through Croatian and Slovenian countryside and hearing all the info. about Slovenia life and culture we arrive in Ljubljana. On arrival, you will go on the orientation walking tour. Climb up to Ljubljana castle with the funicular, explore the city walls, and admire the views of the Julian Alps in the distance. Our guide has all the local insights and handy tips to leave you wanting to explore some more. The guide will show the major sites and give you some history and cultural lessons along the way. When the walking tour finishes you will have a deeper understanding of Ljubljana’s landmarks and more confidence navigating on your own for the next 2 hours of your free time.
- Julian Alps - Capture the spirit of magical Lake Bled, from the hustle and bustle of Ljubljana to an image of paradise, all that in just 30 min drive. Bled Castle and Lake are sitting on the edge of the Triglav National Park located in the Julian Alps. There is so much to do at Bled, especially during the tourist season. It is impossible to see and experience everything in one afternoon, this is why your guide will help you organize time according to your preferences.
- Bled - Go for a swim at the lake, ride a bicycle, sail on traditional Pletna boat to the Bled island, explore the Bled castle or just simply go for a stroll, sit at one of many bars located by the lake and enjoy traditional Bled cream cake, be hypnotized by the views of lake Bled, surrounded by stoic mountains.
Unfortunately every fairy-tail has to come to an end. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a scenic ride back to Zagreb.

5 Stars - I had an incredible experience with Pathfinder Tour on my visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park, and I can't recommend it enough! From start to finish, everything was seamless, with our amazing guide, Luka. His knowledge about Croatian and the park's nature and history, was outstanding, and he shared it in such an engaging and friendly manner that made the tour both informative and enjoyable. The company and guide went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience, offering tips on the best photo spots and taking the time to answer all our questions. Plitvice Lakes itself is a true natural wonder, and exploring it with Luka as our guide made it even more special. If you're looking for an exceptional way to discover the beauty of Plitvice, I highly recommend booking a tour with Pathfinder Tours.

Go on a fantastic and entertaining tour of Slovenia. - Pickup in Zagreb was prompt. Our guide and driver, Marko, gave us an informative and never boring history of Croatia and Slovenia including his experiences growing up in Yugoslavia, the breakup, life before and after, the countries histories as well as information on the places we were headed to see. We arrived in Lake Bled and were given our options and a time to meet to continue to Ljubljana. I chose to visit the castle and had an enjoyable time there and walking down to the lake. There was plenty of time to see more and have a nice lunch. We met up at the agreed time and headed to Ljubljana where Marko gave us a walking tour of the old part of the city, suggested authentic restaurants where we could get Slovenian cuisine, and gave us a time to met which allowed plenty of time to visit the castle (the tour includes a ticket for the funacular but not admission to anything else and anything else requires extra payment of €15 +++). Ljubljana is an interesting and colorful city, well worth visiting again, but the tour gave us a short and enjoyable quality experience which along with Lake Bled, makes this tour money well spent. The vehicle was comfortable and Marco was a premium guide that gave us entertaining and quality information on our itinerary and what life was like in both Croatia and Slovenia and the history of the region and its conflicts. One of the best tours I have been on and I hate tours.
