Over 5 hours, we zipped through the beautiful, rolling countryside of olive groves and vineyards, with incredible coastal views, and through small villages accessible by local traffic only. We stopped at a family-run olive oil producer for a tasting, toured a small village on foot, and had a fabulous lunch at a restaurant overlooking the coast. Dejan was an excellent host/tour guide; his personal touch added to the experience and safety. He even sent us photos and a video of our adventure after the tour. Overall this was an amazing experience, exceeding our expectations! Highly, highly recommend!”

Half-day Lake Bled trip from Ljubljana with small-group pickup, castle views, pletna boat ride, and the original kremšnita.
“Great half day trip - there were 4 of us and we had a nice, knowledgeable driver and a great vehicle for the trip. It was drizzling, but the rain stopped just in time for photos of Lake Bled from the ferry. Wonderful. The island is small by scenic and 90 steps to get to the top from the ferry landing. The ferry is man powered like in Venice! The Castle was just ok but with incredible views of the countryside and Lake Bled and the famous church. Worth it to see this famous attraction.”
