Zagreb to Ljubljana & Lake Bled Guided SMALL Group Tour (max 8)

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.
