Half-Day Tour to Bled
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 centre 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.
09.00 am - 03.00 pm - 77€ p.p.
The tour includes: Mini Bus trasfer to Bled, English speaking guide, boat ride with "Pletna" and entrance fee to Holly Assumption church, entrance fee to Bled Castle.
Full-Day Tour to Portorož & Piran
When staying in capital, take some time to visit the Mediterranean world of the coastal region of Slovenia. We invite you to join us to visit the most beautiful and the oldest Slovenian coastal town Piran, where you can admire its charming Venetian architecture.
Our first stop will be in a small fishing town of Izola, where we board a boat to take us along the coast to Piran. A walking tour through the medieval town of Piran will take place and afterwards you will have plenty of time to take a swim in the Adriatic or have lunch in one of the numerous fresh fish restaurants.
A contrast to the historic Piran represents Portorož, the most popular Slovene coastal resort, which you can discover during your free time.
