“Lake bled is absolutely beautiful and a must see if you are in Slovenia! The castle was awesome and it had some of the best views of the lake. The bled cream cake was delicious. Our tour guide klemen was awesome and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about Slovenia and was able to answer everyone’s questions! The tour is a bit on the expensive side considering we still had to pay €18 for the castle, €20 for the boat & €12 for the church on the island. You must bring cash”

“Luka is a great host. This was a great way to get introduced to the city's Pubs and to meet other tourists. The Slovenia's appear to be great hosts and really cater to tourists, which is refreshing, since some other European cities tend to be almost offended by tourists sometimes. This was a great way to start the weekend.”
