Lake Bled & Beyond – A Private Day Tour from Ljubljana

8 hours

Easy

Bled’s island church and cliff-top castle, then the quieter corners of Slovenia that most day-trippers drive straight past. Your group, your pace, your private guide.

✨ Lake Bled the classic way, with a pletna boat ride to the island included! ✨

Start with a coffee in Radovljica, a medieval town of painted beehives and artisan chocolate, perched on a terrace facing the Alps.

Then Lake Bled, the heart of the day. Board a pletna, a wooden boat rowed by a boatman standing at the stern, a right passed down through local families since Empress Maria Theresa’s time. Climb the 99 steps on Bled Island, ring the wishing bell, then head up to Bled Castle for a spectacular view over the lake and the Alps. Then treat yourself to the original kremšnita cream cake.

After Bled, choose your gorge:
🏞️ Vintgar: wooden walkways above the turquoise Radovna river (open spring to autumn)
🌄 Dovžan Gorge: a quiet hidden gem near Tržič, with rock towers and sea fossils over 250 million years old

We end in Škofja Loka, one of Slovenia’s best-preserved medieval towns, ruled for 800 years by Bavarian bishops.
