- Prešernov trg - Slovenia’s capital and largest city is one of Europe’s greenest and most liveable capitals; it was the European Commission’s Green Capital of Europe in 2016. Car traffic is restricted in the centre, leaving the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the city’s heart, free for pedestrians and cyclists. In summer, cafes set up terrace seating along the river; it almost feels like a nightly street party
- Lake Bled - Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful spots in Slovenia and is often the literal poster child for Slovenia tourism. In fact, it must also be a contender to be one of the most beautiful places in the whole of Europe! Not only is the lake itself serene and peaceful, but it features not one but two iconic landmarks: a island topped with in the middle of the lake and a fairytale castle on a hill.

Perfect way to experience Slovenia’s Highlights - Our drive to Slovenia went very smoothly and we enjoyed the countryside along the way. Our guide/driver Josip was amazing!! He shared a lot of history and facts and was very easy to talk with which made the drive pleasant and not boring. He expertly catered the order of the itinerary to maximize our time in each location. He helped drive us as close to the highlights as possible due to a bit of reduced mobility. He gave us an approximate time to meet but never rushed us. We saw all the highlights as listed: Bled Castle, Lake Bled, Ljubljana old town with the famous Dragon Bridge and beautiful buildings. He suggested for us to take the funicular up to the Ljubljana Castle for the views. Of course we tried the kremšnita (Famous cream cake from Bled).
It was a perfect day with the bonus of perfect weather. Thank you Josip for giving us such a memorable experience!!
We highly recommend Get in Transfer to anyone considering this tour!!

Great day in Slovenia - First of all, the communication between Jopin and I started before we even got to Zagreb. He answered a few questions I had immediately. He communicated with us before he picked us up at our hotel and arrived exactly at 8.30am to pick us up. He was courteous and informative throughout the entire day and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions about Slovenia and Croatia. He picked us up in a nice comfortable van and had a great recommendation for a restaurant in Lubijiana. I highly recommend this trip and hope you get Jopin has your guide for the day. He is wonderful!

Bled Lake is gorgeous. It is a 10 + hour trip! - Bled Lake was incredible. Such a beautiful quiet place, especially the boat ride to and from the island. Ljubljana Old town was beautiful. We were gone from 8:30 and we didn’t get to Ljubljana until 2/3 pm and we hadn’t had time for lunch prior to that time.
The tour stayed approximately 8 hours and by the time we came back to Zagreb it ended up being over a 10 hour tour! Our guide was very nice and safe. It would have been nice to learn more about Croatia and Slovenia during the trip. Make sure you verify the trip length before booking.
