Goran was very friendly and knowledgeable and frequently asked if we had any questions or wanted to change the itinerary. He picked us up and dropped us off on time. We would definitely recommend Goran and this agency.

Picturesque Lake Bled and Stunning Ljubljana

Josephine_H, Sep 2023

I had previously done this tour with family and organized it for my friends who are visiting from Canada, Australia, Germany and the UK. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Bled is very picturesque and Ljubljana is beautiful. Swimming in lake bled was an Enjoyable experience for some. Our friends would like to come back and explore Slovenia a bit more. Guido the tour guide was very informative. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

What a lovely day. Igor was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable about Trieste, Bled and Ljubljana. We adjusted the tour, so that our kids could do the zipwires in Bled. A fabulous time was had by all.
