The trip was phenomenal! We enjoyed every bit of it! Our helpful guide, Urban, showed us around with unwavering patience and kindness and enthusiasm. What we liked the most about the trip was that even though it was a pre-planned trip, our guide gave us several options! This felt like a tailor-made trip and allowed us to explore the Slovenian culture and hear all about it from a Lake Bled local! We highly recommend this experience! We had a fantastic day!

The day was perfectly well organized. Varied program. Our guide was attentive and she was more than happy to find tourists after a long period of covid. We learned a lot it was a very interesting day! She totally adapted to us and to the somewhat capricious weather. Perfect day (except for the rain at the end of the day :)) The price is right. Although a little high if you want to do all the activities offered.

Wonderful tour. Our guide was Val and she was very knowledgeable about every facet of the area and answered all our questions. Her English was great and she had a wonderful sense of humor. The pace of the tour was perfect and we really felt we gained an understanding of the area. Like this tour so much that we booked another through the same company for the next day.
