The 15 Best 1-Day Tours in Slovenia

1.Slovenia in One Day: Lake Bled, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 879 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $151Our pick

See Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle, Lake Bled, Bled Island, and Bled Castle in one well-paced day from Ljubljana.

“Lake bled and the caves were really beautiful. This trip is definitely worth going if you wish to cover the caves and lake bled all in one day. Our guide Jacob was funny and energetic and shared a lot about his country. The only complaint I have was that the boats from the shore to the island in Lake bled are not coordinated and just go as and when they like. For 20 euros per person, we were given just 45 mins on the island. It was simply not enough. But then again, I wouldn't say that the island is a must go and the view isn't much greater there.…”

See Vintgar Gorge, Lakes Bled and Bohinj, Bled Castle, and Škofja Loka on a small-group Slovenia day trip from Ljubljana.

Our advice to others: if flooding rains are predicted, definitely change your plans as many aspects of this are disappointing since there were no views and we stayed wet ( even with umbrellas and rain jackets. ) That being said, this was our only chance to do this tour and we, along with our guide, made it the best experience possible!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 63 reviews · 10.5 hours · from $188

Review of Ljubljana’s Lake Bled, Postojna Cave, and Predjama Castle day trip, with costs, timing, highlights, drawbacks, and practical tips.

“Our guide, Clement (?) was excellent. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He really made the trip great. Sadly, it was storming the day we went out so we could not ride the boat to the island at Bled. Our guide tried asking but the boat people said no. But otherwise, it was a great day. While the cave experience was okay, our guide made the Predjama Castle tour completely fascinating. He was able to make every room interesting and entertaining.”

“We really enjoyed our day trip. It was good to see a range of places that we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. For us the highlight was the car-train through the mountains, as well as jumping in the Soca river (it was very cold!) and climbing to the source of the river too. We wouldn’t have been able to see the sites outside of Bled without this trip. Our guide was fantastic too. Would absolutely recommend - there’s a lot of miles covered but a lot of stops along the way!”
