Very knowledgeable and spoke about the area, history, and everything in between, for the first part of the bus ride to Ljubljana, including recommendations for food and answering any questions we might have. While there is only time at Lake Bled to choose one activity (i chose going on the boats to the island - fantastic option), this is a convenient option to see a beautiful place with the ease of a tour. Marco made suggestions and offered options to suit all. I plan to return one day, but this tour is a great taster of what Slovenia offers, so very beautiful! Our group was…”

Everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Our guide was amazing — knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making us feel well taken care of throughout the day. His stories and insights about Slovenia’s history and culture really brought each place to life. The only downside was that the tour was conducted in both Italian and English, which we weren’t informed of when booking. We don’t understand Italian, so it became tiring having to focus on when the guide switched back to English to make sure we didn’t…”

Join 3glav Adventures for an 11-hour small-group trip from Bled through Triglav National Park. Guides such as Marko, Jan, and Klaudij lead short hikes to waterfalls, lakes, mountain views, and the emerald Soča River. Add rafting for a more active day, and bring swimwear and a towel.

“We booked this trip to get as much out of our stay as possible, and it did not disappoint. A tiny bit of hassle in the morning, as the trip is out of Bled, not Ljubljana, but that was obviously not 3glav’s fault. The skilled and funny guide Klavdij (pronounced «Cloudy») picked us up with the rest of the great group of people we were lucky enough to spend the day with. The trip takes you through the Triglav National Park with some great views and short hikes along the way. The whole group did the rafting as well, down Soca river. Sadly the river was slow and low, but…”
