Overview

Escape Zagreb for a day and discover two of Slovenia’s most loved destinations, vibrant Ljubljana and fairytale-like Lake Bled, on a relaxed small-group adventure.

With a maximum of 8 guests, this tour offers a more personal experience and more attention from your guide. Traveling in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan also means faster travel times than large coach tours, giving you more time to enjoy the destinations.

In Ljubljana, enjoy a 1-hour guided walking tour followed by around 2 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Have lunch by the river, wander the charming streets, visit the castle, or simply enjoy the atmosphere.

At Lake Bled, you’ll have about 2.5 hours of free time, enough for the traditional pletna boat ride and Bled Castle if you wish. Prefer a slower pace? Walk around the lake, relax with cream cake, enjoy the scenery, or swim in summer. No fixed schedule, just the freedom to enjoy Bled your way.

What to expect

  1. Zagreb
    20m
    Your adventure begins in Zagreb with pick-up from one of 14 convenient locations across the wider city center.
    Pick up time is scheduled between 7:30-8:30 am.

    We specialize in small-group experiences, which means you’ll travel in a comfortable minivan with a maximum of just 8 guests. This allows us to travel faster and more efficiently than large tour buses, both on the road and when crossing the border into Slovenia. Less time in transit means more time to enjoy the destinations themselves.

    It also means a more personal, friendly experience with your guide throughout the day.

    After around an hour and a half of scenic driving, your first stop is the charming capital of Ljubljana.
  2. Ljubljana
    3h
    This tour offers a well-balanced combination of a guided experience and free time in Ljubljana.

    During a one-hour walking tour through the old town, you’ll discover the city’s main highlights and hear the essential stories behind them. You’ll see the iconic Tromostovje (Triple Bridge), where elegant architecture by Jože Plečnik connects the historic and modern parts of the city, as well as the beautiful Ljubljana Cathedral with its distinctive green dome and richly decorated interior. You’ll also pass the famous Dragon Bridge, guarded by striking dragon statues that symbolize the city and bring local legends to life.

    After the guided part, you’ll have around two hours of free time to explore Ljubljana at your own pace, enjoy its riverside cafés, charming streets, and relaxed atmosphere.

    Whether you're into food, architecture, history, shopping, or simply wandering, Ljubljana has something for everyone—and don’t forget to try some local specialties while you're there.
  3. Lake Bled
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    As if the picture-perfect beauty of Bled Island weren't enough, the area offers plenty of outdoor activities to make your visit even more memorable.
    Take a traditional Pletna boat to Bled Island and visit the charming St. Mary’s Church, explore the historic Bled Castle with its breathtaking views, walk or cycle around the lake, or cool off with a swim during the warm summer months.

    And of course, don’t miss the chance to take a break and treat yourself to the famous “kremšnita” cream cake—a perfect way to frame your unforgettable Bled experience.
  4. Bled Castle (Blejski Grad)
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    This fairytale-like castle is stunning from the outside, but stepping inside offers an even greater reward—
    breathtaking panoramic views of the entire lake, perfect for unforgettable photos.
    Perched high on a cliff above Lake Bled, the castle not only provides a glimpse into the region’s rich history but also offers one of the most spectacular viewpoints in Slovenia.
