Travel from Koper to Lake Bled and Ljubljana in a private vehicle for up to seven people. Your English-speaking driver, with guides such as Matejia, Juirji, or Yuri, handles the long drives while you see Bled Castle, the Triple Bridge, St. Nicholas Cathedral, and Dragon Bridge.

“Our guide Matejia was a gem! She taught us so much about Slovenia, its history and people while we were driving to Lake Bled. We had a little over an hour at the Lake and wished we had more time. It was magnificent and we could have spent the day there. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to visit the church on the island but we did enjoy walking around and sampling Bled cake. Afterwards we drove to Ljubljana and joined a quick tour with another guide. The best part was shopping in a local market and visiting the Dragon bridge. This is a lovely excursion that allows you to sample…”

Lake Bled & Ljubljana – Shore Excursion from Koper

6.Lake Bled & Ljubljana – Shore Excursion from Koper

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · from $128

Travel from Koper to Ljubljana and Lake Bled with a guide such as Valentina or Mauritzio. Walk Plečnik’s old town, view Ljubljana Castle, then stroll beside the Alpine lake. Pickup and return are arranged around your cruise schedule, though road time leaves limited time at each stop.

“We enjoyed our trip to Lake Bled and Lubijiana. Our tour guide Mauritzio did an excellent job in keeping the tour on time despite having the bus break down near a rest area on the way to Lake Bled. Despite a delay of 45 minutes we still had enough time to see everything the tour offered.”

From Koper, take a private air-conditioned van to Postojna Cave and Ljubljana. Your local guide, including Igor Mackovsek on some departures, leads the cave visit and Ljubljana walk, with port pickup, entrance fees, and drop-off included.

“Igor was an amazing guide and the caves where the single most impressive thing I have ever seen traveling this world (and we have been to over 40 countries). The capital city of Slovenia was also worthy and very informative. Anyway, it was all that and now I have been to Slovenia!!!!”
