Review of Roundabout Travel’s Bled, Bohinj and Vintgar Gorge day trip from Ljubljana, with costs, timing, stops, tips and honest drawbacks.
“Cannot rate this as it was cancelled late at night the evening before and refund received. I'm sure it would have been a wonderful trip. I understand that things can happen and the guide was unwell, but the company could have offered alternatives. We were already asleep when the cancellation message came in and thus found it in the morning as we waited for the guide.”

Review of the Triglav National Park day trip from Bled, with waterfalls, alpine passes, Soča Valley, Italy, practical tips, and value advice.
“I would 100% recommend this day trip! This is especially worth it if you did not rent a car, but even with one I’d still do it as I wouldn’t have seen or known how to get to these places otherwise. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, wish I knew his name to give him a shoutout!! I’ve done quite a few day trips and this one is by far one of my favorite! Do it!!”
Review of Ljubljana’s small-group day trip to Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, and Predjama Castle, with costs, walking, timing, and practical tips.
“We were joined to an half day tour, so we were 2 groups, our tour guide had to drop them back in town in order to continue with us for a full day, inconvenient! And because of that afternoon bad weather ruin our Bled experience. If we did not have the other group with us , we could see lake bled in the morning without rain , bad planning that was probably needed to accommodate 2 groups… disappointing. Other then this, tour guide had great personality and knowledge, we liked him.”
Review of a 10-hour Lake Bled and Triglav National Park tour from Ljubljana, with alpine scenery, Lake Jasna, Zelenci, costs, tips, and honest advice.
“The lakes and gorge are all very beautiful. Nina was a wonderful guide with lots of information about the area. She had some car trouble when we reached lake Bled, and worked very hard to get a replacement vehicle while we were having our free time. This meant there was very little interruption to our itinerary - an extraordinary effort. An amazing tour that I would highly recommend to anyone in Ljubljana.”

Explore Lake Jasna, Vršič Pass, Soča Valley, Kozjak Waterfall, and Lake Bohinj on a small-group day trip from Bled.
“We really enjoyed our day trip. It was good to see a range of places that we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. For us the highlight was the car-train through the mountains, as well as jumping in the Soca river (it was very cold!) and climbing to the source of the river too. We wouldn’t have been able to see the sites outside of Bled without this trip. Our guide was fantastic too. Would absolutely recommend - there’s a lot of miles covered but a lot of stops along the way!”

“We had two guides - Irina and Ben. Both were very friendly, helpful and all round nice. Irina picked us up with a minibus from Zagreb and drove us to Ljubljana. It was a great tour, the city is beautiful, tidy and romantic, like a jewel. We did around two hours and Irina told us quite a lot of interesting stories about the city. Afterwards, ben picked us up from Ljubljana and drove us to Bled. The lake, the castle the island - everything is gorgeously picturesque. Well worth every penny and every minute of travel which was quite comfortable anyway. We all went up to the castle where you…”

“We had an incredible day with our guide Tarun. We made a short stop at the charming small town Radovljica as the fog was lifting over the valley in front of the mountains. Bled is lovely and has nice walking trails and so many terrific spots for taking photos. A truly special place for nature and relaxation. To top off the trip we had a taste of the famous Lake Bled cake. Don't miss it if you visit this area. Thank you Tarun for a fantastic introduction to this beautiful part of Slovenia and for the great conversation and recommendations. Highly recommended.”
