“Great trip. Guide Andreja was very kind, professional and courteous. She was on time throughout. Great and safe driver. Picked us from our Hotel Central opposite the Train Station, which was convenient for us. Comfortable mini van, with WiFi. Kept giving us stories about Llubljana, Slovenia, Lake Bled etc. Showed us around Llubljana for about an hour which was more than sufficient. Gave us bottle of water, biscuit, hand fan and also plastic rain cover for when it rained in the evening. Pletna Boat to Bled Island is €20pp. To be honest, the whole place is very nice and didn't make much difference going to the Island. Also, they said…”

“We had a wonderful day with our guide Bo who was so nice and knowledgeable! Due to the weather he changed the order of sights and thank god he did because we were so lucky with the weather especially at Lake Bled. He gave us a lot of advice for sights and food spots. Its so much more comfortable going with a small group and i think this separates Pegasus with their competitions. You got a more personal and comfortable experience without breaking the bank. I will be back in spring and plan to travel with Pegasus again on to Plitvice Lakes! Bo also took us to a candy store…”
