Top Bled Day Cruises

When walking round the lake, we came across someone wishing to take us across the lake to the island. The boat was called "anja" and our pilot was very good. We went across to the island from opposite Restaurant Zaka. The price per adult was 20 euros to get to/from the island, with a 45 stay. We were told to be back at X time, we git back 5 mins before X time, to find Anja was leaving the island. After some shouts, the pilot came back to get us! The row across was lovely and smooth.

Our tour guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience very fun. It was a memorable experience.

Ines was a WONDERFUL guide! She gave us lots of interesting insight into the history and culture of Slovenia. The drive was comfortable and easy, and definitely worth it. We loved the castle, the boat ride, the island church, everything! Fantastic views and lovely, welcoming people. A perfect experience!

Our tour guide Ines was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything was very efficient. Tip - remember cash for the boat.

Ines was a super friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and good company. Really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it. Very lucky with the weather too.

Our tour guide was great! She was well-equipped, very knowledgeable, and exceptionally responsive to questions and special requests from our family of four and the other couple in the full van. I’m sure we would all recommend her personally to anyone in a heartbeat!!However, I would NOT recommend this tour for a family, for three reasons:1) The very expensive cost, which doesn’t include up to three admissions (castle, boat ride to island, and island church entry, all totaling 45-50 Euros on top of the per person tour cost);2) The highly variable Lake Bled area weather, especially in Spring and Fall. In our case, multiple weather reports sites forecasted clear weather as of 24 hours before, so we booked the tour, only to then face constant cloudiness and either drizzle or rain which prevented most of the anticipated visual treats over valleys and to the Julian Alps. NOTE - Our guide was absolutely NOT responsible for the weather, but did everything she could to make it as enjoyable as possible.3) You may not get our tour guide, and I can’t vouch that others would make it as good as possible given our circumstances. We passengers chose to end our 5 hour tour nearly an hour early given the weather.So, you’re looking at well over 100 Euros per person, with no family discounts, for what could turn out to be a mediocre experience, even with the best of guides.If there are more than two of you, just rent a car and do it on your own.NOTE - I rated this 4 stars so it wouldn’t reflect poorly on our Guide, as she deserved 5 stars; however, the whole experience despite the fantastic guide should probably only be 2 stars

Very enjoyable experience both in the lake and the castle. Beautiful scenery and interesting explanations from our guide. Challenging climbs in the island in bled and in the castle, but worth it.

Our guide was Ines, who was excellent. She was knowledgeable, polite, interesting and paced the tour perfectly. Lake Bled is spectacular and a must see if visiting Ljubljana. The boat trip across to the castle was fun and the castle worth a visit. Ines made our trip really special.

The view and colors amazing:) Inez our tour guide was the best ever ! You should try is a once a life Tim’e experience .

Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful! We learned so much and got to see so much of Bled. Our time there was limited and she made sure that we saw all possible.

Friendly informative guide. Beautiful scenery, boat ride to the church very relaxing. Amazing views from the castle. Honey tasting fab too.

Excellent experience, our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. We had such a positive experience and a great day.

We really enjoy our tour our drive she new a lot in that castle i really loved the way she took her time with us at the begging and at the end of our tour

I very much enjoyed the tour with Ines, who was knowledgeable in the specifics of Lake Bled and the Castle. Was easy to communicate, arrange a pick-up and drop-off, and time everything. On the way we got to learn a lot about Slovenia as a whole, so it's a good primer for anyone staying a few days. One recommendation is to bring sturdy footwear as it can get slippery. Overall a great experience that's not too tiring and gives you a beautiful view of Lake Bled from above.

Lake Bled is beautiful and well worth a visit. A minivan is a good way to do it. A little annoying that not everything can be paid at once, but one has to pay separately for boat ride, for church and for the castle. Just collect the money in advance, please. Also missing the little extras, like a nice café stop and the best spots for photos. Our guide was friendly and did help when asked, but as a lazy tourist I'd appreciate being pampered.

Amazing! Brilliant afternoon, terrific guide. Thanks Ines for the wonderful trip you did a great job of explaining the history behind the castle. A must do trip if you are coming to Slovenia!
