2.Enjoy the boat ride on Lake Bled and Castle

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 26 reviews · 5 hours (approx.)

Travel from Ljubljana in an air-conditioned vehicle with pickup and drop-off, then visit Bled Castle and cross Lake Bled by traditional pletna boat to the island church. The tour runs about five hours, accepts up to seven people, and is offered in English. Guide Ines is especially praised for her history and local tips, though guides may vary.

“Lake Bled is stunning! But everyone knows that and that’s why so many people come. But what made this tour great was the lovely and friendly guide. I felt like a good friend of mine was showing me her town instead of a tour guide showing me things. I highly recommend you go to Lake Bled on this tour and not anyone company where you aren’t a friend but a just another tourist”
