This really is highly recommended. It's a long day, but the stops on the way ( food toilets) where spot on. Lake bled is stunning, from the castle views to the boat ride. You have free time in bled. I would recommend the horse and carnage around the lake. Our guide was superb throughout.

Amazing trip

Katie_P, Oct 2023

Our guide was brilliant, very engaging and informative. He knows so much and kept the tour on track. It was also very well organised as we were picked up by mini bus and then transferred to the main coach, both of which were clean and comfortable. At Lake Bled there was the option to do a horse and carriage ride around the lake. It was €70 per for four people in a carriage. We got to go to Castle Bled, to the town of Bled and on a boat ride on Lake Bled. We learnt so much about Slovenia and Croatia. Would fully recommend.

Beautiful views!

Fauzia_G, Sep 2023

The day trip was great, although I would not use Viatour again to book the excursions. It’s better to book these trips directly with the company who actually run the tour. I was asked to go at a meeting point, 30-60 minutes before the pick up time and they gave me the wrong address for the meet up point which made the whole thing very stressful. However, the company running the tour were great, our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Lake Bled is beautiful, it rained a lot on the day we went with some sunny bits and we made the best of it. The original cream cake that we all had was like our custard cream but with less flavour. The horse carriage ride round the lake was also fun. The castle was nothing special but the views from it were spectacular. Boat ride to the island was fun too, but the little shops on the island were really expensive!! Glad I did the tour and might have to go back there and stay for a few days around there.

Beautiful scenery and excellent trip.

Brian_L, Jul 2023

Seeing the beautiful Julian Alps for the first time and then seeing Lake Bled and its beautiful church and castle were worth the few hours in the bus. The tour guide was constantly informative and explained all the activities and procedures well in advance. We did the optional horse and cart ride around the lake and it was well worth the money. Unfortunately it started to rain very heavily after we had been to the castle but before we went to the church. Going to the castle and taking in the scenery before that was perfect though. We were quite surprised that the boat trip to the church on the island still went ahead in the middle of torrential rain and thunder and lightening but still glad we did it. I guess the storm made it even more memorable !

Lake Bled trip from Porec

kathryn_t, Aug 2022

An amazing trip. Arriving at the castle to experience the first view of the lake was fantastic. We could appreciate the view in all it's glory. The traffic was busy, mainly due to being the first week of August and having to go through border control into Slovenia although I understand this will no longer be required from Jan 2023 so this should save some time. The trip and full experience was not shortened in any way due to the traffic and we very much appreciated that. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable.

Exploring Slovenia and Lake Bled - A delightful experience!

Daniel_M, Jul 2022

Our tour to Lake Bled exceeded all of our expectations. The scenery and views from the Castle and Lake were spectacular. Our guide, Mauro, was a excellent and knowledgeable host. He recommended the Bled Cream Cake at Park Cafe, which proved to be one of the best desserts we had during our two week vacation.
