- Ljubljana Old Town - After an hour and a half of driving through Croatian and Slovenian countryside and hearing all the info. about Slovenia life and culture we arrive in Ljubljana. On arrival, you will go on the orientation walking tour. Climb up to Ljubljana castle with the funicular, explore the city walls, and admire the views of the Julian Alps in the distance. Our guide has all the local insights and handy tips to leave you wanting to explore some more. The guide will show the major sites and give you some history and cultural lessons along the way. When the walking tour finishes you will have a deeper understanding of Ljubljana’s landmarks and more confidence navigating on your own for the next 2 hours of your free time.
- Julian Alps - Capture the spirit of magical Lake Bled, from the hustle and bustle of Ljubljana to an image of paradise, all that in just 30 min drive. Bled Castle and Lake are sitting on the edge of the Triglav National Park located in the Julian Alps. There is so much to do at Bled, especially during the tourist season. It is impossible to see and experience everything in one afternoon, this is why your guide will help you organize time according to your preferences.
- Bled - Go for a swim at the lake, ride a bicycle, sail on traditional Pletna boat to the Bled island, explore the Bled castle or just simply go for a stroll, sit at one of many bars located by the lake and enjoy traditional Bled cream cake, be hypnotized by the views of lake Bled, surrounded by stoic mountains.
Unfortunately every fairy-tail has to come to an end. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy a scenic ride back to Zagreb.

Amazing two Pathfinder Day tours from Zagreb! - We had two wonderful Pathfinder tours from Zagreb this September 2025.
The first tour was to PLITVICE and the tour guide was Marion and today it was Marco taking us to LJUBLJANA AND LAKE BLED.
Both tour guides were amazing showing their knowledge, love for what they do making those trips unvelievable.
We would rate both of them with 5 shining stars!.
Congratulations to the pathfinder team!

Ljubljana and Lake Bled are amazing - Great trip with beautiful weather. Eva, our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and efficient. Lots of free time to take in everything. Ljubljana is a lovely town. The castle at lake bled is well worth a visit. Eva drove us up there first then after she drove us down to the lake, which was spectacular in the perfect weather. Not too crowded, no waiting to go up funicular, definitely a good time to go in September. Eva said in peak times it is much busier.

This tour was one of the... - This tour was one of the highlights of my trip. Visiting both Ljubljana and Lake Bled was an unforgettable experience. The schedule was well planned, and I learned so much thanks to the guide’s clear and engaging explanations. At Lake Bled, the guide kindly drove us up to the castle, which was a huge help and made the visit much more comfortable. It was also really nice that our group was small, only seven people, which made the experience more relaxed and enjoyable. Everything was organized perfectly, and I truly enjoyed every moment. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Slovenia.

Fantastic experience with Patfinder Tours - Visiting Ljubljana and the stunning Lake Bled was an unforgettable experience, full of charming landscapes and unique moments. The tour with the Patfinder Tours was impeccably organized, ensuring that we could enjoy every detail of these wonderful places. The highlight was our guide, Sara, whose sympathy, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of local history and curiosities made the trip even more special. Always helpful and attentive, made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. I highly recommend Patfinder Tours and this excellent guide that made the tour a memorable for life!

Great day exploring Ljubljana and Bled - I was the only person booked so I got picked up by a different tour company with a similar itinerary. Mario our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting information about the places we visited and about Croatia / Slovenia in general. The tour was well paced and liked that we were a small group. Great day out and beautiful scenery.

Rained out - It was a tour to such a beautiful place, unfortunately it was such a terrible day with the rain, not just a sprinkle it was pouring all day long. The tour guide was amazing and it was still great to see Ljubljana but Lake Bled in that weather was such a waste of time. Our tour guide was fantastic and did everything to accommodate the weather so we could still have a great time. No one can control the weather and it’s no one’s fault but when the weather is predicted to be that bad maybe it should be canceled
