Bled Sightseeing Tour from Ljubljana

Ljubljana, Slovenia

We recommend to visitors, who are interested in learning something more about Bled, to take a sightseeing tour around this resort. Bled was discovered by the tourists in the middle of the 19th century, after a Swiss doctor, Mr Arnold Rikli, had built a climactic health center there.

Bled is often mentioned as the pearl of the Alpine region. It is unique with its emerald-green lake, a church on the island in the middle of the lake and a medieval castle from the 11th century, perched on a cliff above the lake. After a bus ride around the lake a guided tour of Bled castle will start. Then you will be taken by Bled's typical 'pletna' boat to the island.

the guide was excellent, knowledgable, friendly and pleasant. I would certainly recommend to anyone that they should visit Bled. That place is stunning. Words dont do it justice. I would recommend using this service, it is amazing value and makes a trip simple and enjoyable.

Our trip to Bled was the highlight of our holiday to Ljubljana. The senery is breathtaking beautiful. The boat journeyover to the church in the middle of the lake was quiet and peaceful.The veiws from the castle are amazing. A visit to Lake Bled is a must if in Slovenia!

The lake is beautiful but a little smaller than expected.

Lake Bled was very beautiful and if we had more time I would've liked to book some time at one of the local hotels to stay a while. Toured the island and the castle but now regret not getting some wine when we stopped at the wine cellar at the castle...

It is a really nice area and the short walk on the island is fun.

Very interesting & the guide Tom was great. Only suggestion would be to have free time at the castle & you could have refreshment there if you wanted then the tour wouldn't be as long

The only thing I would change is to build in a coffee andor snack break at some point. It seemed that some people wanted to stop for lunch and others didn't, and it would be easier if it was just part of the package.

Trip seemed a bit rushed. Guide did not give us much background info unless asked. We were combined with a group from the coast, and they had been promised a short tour of the Ljubljana in the same time frame. Since we had been staying in town, we felt we were short changed and rushed in our time in Bled.

The best of the two trips that we booked; breathtaking scenery, excellent guide and a place where time seems to have stood still. The boat ride to St Mary's church is a very gentle affair, all the better for it, and you get a good half hour at the church to explore. The views from the island are superb. A very enjoyable visit to Bled Castle follows, the visit finished off with local cream cakes, delicious!
